SECRET BEHIND VENETIAN MASK

2006-07-11T20:56:00.000+08:00

i was in venice and took this picture of the masks. i was wondering why they needed mask. heard on tv just now that during the ancient days, the venetians wore masks for six months in a year, so that they can be "naughty" during the period of that six months and be good during the other period of six months, without anybody know who they are.

mmmm ... what a good concept, i think i will wear my mask for the whole year then .....

TO AVOID MISUNDERSTANDING ...

2006-07-11T14:54:00.000+08:00

we hv been losing some of the posts at fotosembang, and unfortunately we hv lost some of the important ones. to avoid misunderstanding, below are some explanations :

there was a post saying that kamarulzaman russali had punched me.

then there was a post that shamshahrin = nad albaz had punched me.

and luckily, the post by kamarulzaman russali is still intact, which im copying below :

Dear all, just to clearifly (clarify) that nobody (had) PUNCH(ed) anybody ...OK. hanya perselisihan faham personal matters between me and bazuki. semua dah tua2 takkan sampai nak tumbuk-menumbuk. thanks.

i said, NOBODY HAD PUNCHED me whatsoever.

and i was jokingly said that sham is so skinny, he could break his arm if he had punched me. and sham texted me that after paying RM9000 for the accident a few months ago, he is much stronger, and i better be careful ....

and it is not to my knowledge that sham is nad albaz. i hv no idea who nad albaz is, and im not going to "dig" for it.

i do know that sham also goes by imagemaker.

there was a post asking whether i was injured at a street protest due to somebody had punched me.

i said no no, the protester burned an israeli flag, but the burning flag was floating in the air and had landed on my forehead (i didnt see the flying burning flag coz i was taking pictures). i managed to get rid of it very quick and i only had a light burn, but not a thing to worry about ... more importantly, i still can continue with my modeling career .... !!

hope my phone is not ringing anymore just to make sure that i am ok. yes, i am ok and taking pictures as usual.

and to my adik, kakak, sepupus, and bapak/mak sedaras, really .... tak jadi aper aper pun kat ayah long / abe kie. do not waste yr call credit to call me.

have fun snapping .....

no flash was used.

for this one, maser shoot, u kener biar kepaler singa tu kat tengah dlm viewfinder, then dalam photoshop, recompose the image by cropping the top.

do not expect i got this pic with five shots. i think i spent one hour, and maybe 50 shots to get one good one.

zam, memang teknik menjadi. no doubt, u understand it. but why a pic of another photographer? it is much much better if the subject tu sesuai ngan effect yg kiter nak. i think i did once with a lion dance, let me see if i can find it.

GOOD LUCK and the most important is pls make sure u have FUN experimenting. jadi tak jadi kemudian kirer.

notes on EDITING

2006-07-10T23:15:00.000+08:00

had a lunch with syeff yesterday. shared with him, the good points and the bad points about our fotowarung. then we decided to write something on "editing". i will start, and syeff will continue, and others will tambah-tambah. i want to make sure we listen from ahim, azhar mahfof, imagemaker, and kamalsell. these are the warungists whom i know have been involved with editing everyday.

and other warungists, please do contribute.

we'll make this entry as a good lesson post, and later i'll make a link on the right column, as one of our good tips.

EDITING
editing is also a skill in taking pictures. shoot as many as u want, but never ask yr boss or others to edit for u. u r the shooter, u r the editor, u know what is good, and what is unsuccessful.

SCENARIO 1
a magazine calls zain, "hey mr tukang gambar, i want to publish a story on putrajaya, i think i will need 1 main pic, and 5 secondaries." and after a week of shooting, zain comes back, "i hv 100 pictures here for u to select." zain is wrong. u r the photog, u select what's good, and submit to the magazine the total of 15 pix for him to select, so that dier tak pening kepaler, tengok terlalu banyak gambar. MORE IMPORTANTLY, u r a better photographer than he is, kenaper pulak dier yg decide utk u. AND REMEMBER, yr name will be credited PHOTOS BY ZAIN, of course u want the best works of yours to be published, sebab lepas ni u nak call semuer mak sedaras, bapak sedaras, sepupus "belilah magazine .... tengoklah gambar yang along ambil kat page ..."

SCENARIO 2
azhar mahfof pi ambil gambar siti nurhaliza lancar album baru. azhar balik, upload dlm computer, delete maner yg flash tak nyaler, dan suruh boss dier pilih gambar paling cantik. boss dier pun jawab, "aper lah kau ni!!". betul, kiter responsible for our own pic, dan kiter yg edit. kiter bagi lah 5 frames, lepas tu boss pilih 3 dari 5 tu, ok lah.

SCENARIO 3
u bangun pagi, tengok fotowarung, wow .... ceriter pasal portrait yer. hah .... aku nak ambil gambar boyren aku yg hensem ni. u pun tarik lah boyfren u, motordrive u bule pegi 4 frames per second, pakwe aku pulak bukan macam bazuki, tak tau langsung pasal kamera, u pun dish dish dish dish, 10 saat = 40 frames. pakwe u pun, "oi .... laju nyer camera u ..... !!" u pun senyum bangga !!

u upload dlm pc, copy semuer sekali dan paste dlm email, and send 40 frames ker bazuki@bazuki.com. "encik bazuki, these are pictures of my brother (malu nak mengaku boifren!). he is always susah nak senyum .... buat-buat malu lah ... bla bla bla bla. here are 40 pictures, panas lagi, baru ambil tadi ... please select one. terimakasih banyak-banyak di atas komen en bazuki (padahal saya tak komen lagi!), dan "fotowarung is the best" (sempat puji lagi tu ....!!)

saya pun ....... tutup pc ..... keluar ambil gambar utk tenangkan fikiran..... dan baru balik utk pikir macamaner nak response.

kalu saya tak response, sayer raser saya tak contribute, kalu saya nak response, too much time i will need. kadang-kadang ader dekat 10 sehari yg sayer kener response. kalu satu response requires me 10 mins, nak reply 10 dah memang gagal lah bagi pihak saya.

NEXT IS FROM SYEFF
i will tampal the one that syeff contributes tomorrow ... but for now, anyone, please please contribute by clicking at comments kat bawah.

i will put up syeff's contribution here, not as a new post. so keep yr eyes here.

---

ini yg syeff tambah ...

"The negative is the score, the print is the performance."
"You don’t take a photograph, you make it"
"In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular ... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice."

"There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer." Ansel Adams

Syeff kata

kerja photographer are actually start before taking picture until an image siap. U must know what u want not what ur boss want or anybody" in mine works field, let’s say kalu ade assigntment mcm anuggerah aim anything to do with entertainment ke .. selalu nye banyak I take about 200 to 300 image from that I hav to select the best cut down to only 20 to 30 images saje" kite sebagai shooter kena tau and ambik tau about ur own image kalu tidak sapa lagi ????... edit tu termasukla cropping, adjust color and etc.

I work with magazine shooting covers fashion and etc la. ok kalu shoot cover usually using raw files and take a lot of pixs kadang2 sampai 4 hingga 6 gig. masa shooting kite yg ade kat studio not ur boss ... start dari ape b/ground ape nak pakai, lighting even what the model sesuai to wear ... how u want the model to pose..usually first few shot tak jadi sebab dia tak comfortable lagi ... and abis shoot editing time kite akan pilih lebih kurang 15 to 20 which are the best bukan ur boss pilih or org lain ... that's my scenario at work. Examples if that pix kuar mag tak cantik or ade yang tak kena ... bukan ur boss or somebody else kena marah but yang tukang ambik.

In fotowarung kite ade limited space ... try pick 1 the best u think, u rasa not bm not ur mom or sedare mare ...

Lagi SCENARIO
Mcm bm baru2 nie ambik gambo protest kal masjid negara .. dia ade kat field not his boss know’s in uk ... tak tau what’s going on here kan kan ... so bm kena pilih and edit hantak kat boss dia ... kalu dia bagi semua abis la ape nak cite ... selalu ambik gbr mesti ade 1 main strong pix n that pix mesti jadi kebanggaan u sendiri ... lepas baru bole cite kat org lain.

Some info for editing.
In a traditional darkroom, you control images with choices of films, chemicals, papers and processes. In the digital equivalent of the darkroom, you do so with a computer system and a photo editing program. Just as in a traditional darkroom, the quality of your digital tools has an impact on the quality of your images. However, a digital darkroom isn't like a traditional darkroom. For one thing, the lights are on. For another there is no prep time, so you can work only as long as you want. Costs are also lower because you can experiment and try things without wasting time and materials. If you make any really serious mistakes, you can always use the undo command.Digital images can be edited in a wide variety of ways using photo-editing software. In some cases an editing program is used to "improve" an image by eliminating or reducing its flaws. In other cases it is used to take an image to a new place, making it something it never was. Taken from a site by Dennis P.Curtin.

Because of the popularity of digital cameras, image editing programs are readily available. Minimal programs, that perform such operations as rotating and cropping are often provided within the digital camera itself, while others are returned to the user on a compact disc (CD) when images are processed at a discount store. The more powerful programs contain functionality to perform a large variety of advanced image manipulations. Popular raster-based digital image editors include Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Visualizer Photo Studio, Pixel image editor, PixBuilder Photo Editor. Many image file formats use data compression to reduce file size and save storage space. Digital compression of images may take place in the camera, or can be done in the computer with the image editor. When images are stored in JPEG format, compression has already taken place. Both cameras and computer programs allow the user to set the level of compression.Some compression algorithms are lossless, such as PNG, which means no image quality is lost when the file is saved. The JPEG compression algorithm uses a lossy format. The greater the compression, the lesser the quality. It utilizes the way the brain and eyes perceive colour to make loss of detail less noticeable. Image editors provide the means for altering and improving images in an almost endless number of ways. They accept images in a large variety of image formats, and after changes are made they allow the changed image to be saved in any number of image formats, at almost any size, and in varying degrees of compression. Most serious digital camera users will find the facilities of such a tool indispensable. In the hands of amateurs, they will obviously render amateurish results. However, for a beginner, the novelty of the power and features available to them, combined with their ease of use, image editing can be a lot of fun. Singgah kat Wikipedia site some info for all.

Photography is the process of making pictures by means of the action of light. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects are recorded onto a sensitive medium or storage chip through a timed exposure. The process is done through mechanical, chemical or digital devices known as cameras.

The word comes from the Greek words f?? phos ("light"), and ??af?? graphis ("stylus", "paintbrush") or ??af? graphê, together meaning "drawing with light" or "representation by means of lines" or "drawing." Traditionally the product of photography has been called a photograph. The term photo is an abbreviation; many people also call them pictures. In digital photography, the term image has begun to replace photograph.

Bro. Bazuki,

Thanks for the email. Kawe pilih 3 keping ni Ki, gambar anak sendiri la, sapa lagi.

(1) Ameerah masa main kat luar rumah. Kawe suka gambar ni sebab jelingan dia pada kawe dan tone muka yg bagi kawe (yg baru belajar ni) nampak natural. Standard
lense, 50mm, aperture priority, f/2.8.

(2) Ameerah mandi kolam (mudah alih dan mudah lipat). Dia nak simbah kawe. Tetapi guna standard lense 50mm set f/2.8 aperture priority. Kawe suka gambar ni sebab
sempat freeze kan action dia dgn air tu sekali.

(3)Ameerah masa tunggu abah dia balik kerja, kawe shoot guna standard lense 50mm, kalau tak silap set f/2.8, ikut tuk guru la, Mr. 2.8, no flash, wb direct sunlight nak bagi warna kulit nama real (ye ke?).

Harap tok guru buleh komen dan juga fotogang2 lain pd kawe yg baru belajar ni. Hentam teruk2 sikit pun takpe coz I want to learn from the pro!

fi, gambar kurang "matured", spend more time, normally u will get better pic. gambar yg dier simbah air sepatutnyer ader i contact. dier dok bergurau dgn demo, jadi biar gambar tu ader connection dgn demo, nampak lebih meriah. get that moment yg dier dok ketawer giler.

Attached are my submission for this weeks fotopic.

About the picture.

"Happy Mood"
Saw some old men loafing on the beach talking and laughing. This was taken @ Barka beach.

"Mahmood"
He was fishing by the cliff with his young son and an uncle. He came all the way from Seeb (approx. 20-30km away from Muscat). However he was not so lucky as he has not caught any fish when I spoke to him.

Both images were taken using EOS 10D & EF70-200mm f/2.8L lens. "Happy Mood" was taken @ 200mm focal length and "Mahmood" @ 70mm

Cheers,
kijal

GIRLS LOVE THIS ONE ...

2006-07-05T19:39:00.000+08:00

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.

He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.

I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen.

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.

He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the chequebook. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back."

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were."

You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."

after i went thru my digital album this morning, i could "show-off" nearly 20 pictures .... he he .... tapi tak acilah! i tunjuk yang ni dulu lah .... lepas ni, kalu ader peluang i tunjuk yang lain lak. i pun nak tengok orang lain punyer ...

this is julie, during rayer. i always took the opportunity to capture my family members during rayer, coz everybody would try to look at their best during the the big day. julie is my wife's sister. bersama-sama kita sedekahkan Al-Fatihah kepada julie - we lost our beautiful julie about two years ago.

intan and cousin along farhana, kat kampung maser kenduri kawin.

my companion azu, about ten years ago. when we just finished university and just got married.

this is hairil. hairil is arwah julie's the only child. julie gave birth to hairil, even maser tu julie tak sedar diri, at the hospital a few weeks before she passed away. we feel that julie was aware that she had given birth, coz she was slowly touching her tummy after the delivery, but unfortunately she had never had a chance to "pangku" her beautiful son ....

sorry, ader ceriter sedih sikit dalam gambar-gambar ni, it was unplanned, cumer i just ter pilih gambar-gambar ni ....

The ruling comes amid calls for capital punishment for apostasy, and follows a spate of civil suits by Malaysians seeking official recognition of their decision to leave Islam. Half of Malaysia's 26 million people are ethnic Malays, who by law must be Muslim, while its Chinese and Indian minorities include Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs.

Assalamualaikum Mr Bazuki!

My name is Ahmad Safri Yusop and I'm in love with photography. Only started serious in this hobby about a year ago. I took a lot of pictures but I really like some positive comments to improve myself; I self-learn photography by reading and trying out and looking at other pictures. So still a looong way to go for me =).

I took this particular picture in Corn Exchange, Leeds. It is a mini-shopping complex converted from corn depot (I guessed...). The round shape of the building plus nice roof making it interesting to take photos inside it. As for technical-side, I used Aperture-priority f/9 with shutter speed of 1/4 second, with 18mm focal length (it's Nikkor 18-70 kit lens) and ISO speed of 400. The lens tilted about 30 degrees. Barrel distortion characteristic of the lens exagerating the roundness of the corridor. I would love to recompose/rotate the image as I want to get it straighter, but better keep it original yeah?

Hopefully this photo is good enough for a critique =)

ps-I used to rely on matrix metering. But yesterday whilst browsing fotowarung I read on how to use the spot metering. YEAY! after all these time I had trouble using spot metering (masih cetek sangat ilmu photography ni). Now I have the idea of using it and to better control the outcomes =D!

Thank you very much for putting up this fotowarung!
