one of the mosque at putrajaya



this fireworks competition is held at Putrajaya, the first kind in Malaysia. Yesterday, team JAPAN performed a stunning 30 minutes fireworks show that was magnificent. if you feel you have missed out this chance, dun worry, this sunday night will be the grand Finale, that means the winner of this competition will perform again, and i think the winner will be.............err..should be Japan.

Hello! Your pictures of the fireworks are very detailed! I was there for Team Japan too but obviously, my pictures are not as good as yours (dont have "gears") FYI, Team Australia won, and I'm glad coz they were really good! Japan was too draggy on some parts in my opinion :p and also, the Finale is not by the winner but by Pyrofest Canada, a fireworks company, which wasnt as exciting as the competing teams. so, great pics and cheerios :)

i notice there is some tension between you and Wen Sen. He has a compact point and shoot while you have a dSLR with a flashgun. however, he takes far greater pictures than you do. his pictures are better in composition and 'soul'. he is also versed in Photoshop, which seems to be your weakness. you should improve your photography skills fast, and don't be 'the guy who uses a dSLR'. be the photographer!. :)

*you can delete this if you want. this is just my advice to you

hmm..anonymous, i need to agree on what you say, true fully wen sen is much better than me.
1. do you expect everyone to be good when they use DSLR? is DSLR only for professional?
2. Wen Sen started his photography interest much earlier than me, i just follow on and i have a lot of commitment and other hobbies that hinder me to improve and learn fast on photography. my stong point is not my photography skill, i have other interest and hobbies that i am stronger in and wen sen does not have
3. if you use photoshop to heavily improvise on your picture, is it considered as photography? i do not have a problem with photoshop, but the pictures here are all mostly not corrected with photoshop. if i want to heavily post-processed those photographs, i would prefer to be a graphic designer, not a photographer. can you understand what is the differences between a photographer and a graphic designer? quality of the pictures does not depend on how good our photoshop skill is
4. do many professional or even enthusiasts post all their best pictures on the internet where people can steal the pictures? this is not my portfolio, it is just a simple blog i have.
5. pictures here are just random pictures. i cannot put good pictures here as i get involve with stock photography and competitions. the terms and condition for stock photography and competitions are that we are not allowed to post the pictures else where.

Last of all, i wonder are you a photographer or someone who knows nothing about the computer & technology...thanks for your advice

i am a photographer for your information. where do you sell your stock photos ? let me see, i might want to buy one.

VIEWFINDER said...

are you sure you want to view or buy my photos? i am using dreamstime but i am not going to give you my ID yet as my pictures are of coz not up to ur standard, and the end result is...i will receive criticism again. btw, after doing some investigation, i'm quite sure you are not more of a photographer, but you are more of a graphic designer. am i right?
