Utakata Hanabi

The festival at the end of August flooded with peoplewearing yukata and geta,*making sounds of click-clack ring.As the fireworks suddenly went off, we looked up,and I stole a glance at your enraptured face. I wish I could hate you.But during days like today, I will surelyonce again remember these memories. I wish I never knew these feelings.Yet even though we cannot meet again,I want to see you. I want to see you.Even now, I think of the summer days when you were here.

Understanding ISO

Photography is built on the three pillars of exposure: shutter speed, aperture and sensitivity. Shutter and aperture are controls for adjusting how much light comes into the camera. How much light is needed is determined by the sensitivity of the medium used. That was as true for glass plates as it is for film and now digital sensors. Over the years that sensitivity has been expressed in various ways, most recently as ASA and now ISO. The "normal" range of ISO is about 200 to 1600. With today's digital cameras you can sometimes go as low as 50 or as high as 102,400. The number chosen has two important qualities associated with it. First, it sets the amount of light needed for a good exposure. The lower the number, the more light required. The more light that's required, the more...

Doa damai buat agamaku dan agamamu

Suatu siang di rumah ibadatkuSepasang tamar telapak tangankuBertemu tenang sedengar berita ituDan berdoalah aku dan begini ku berdoa:Andai kubenarkan anak-anak YesusKrishna dan Budha mengisi ruang masjidkuBiarlah atas nama kasih dan kerana ikhlasSesungguhnya itu ajaran Dia kepadakuMaka ku turunkan layar harapankuUntuk mengaut untung syurga untukku sekaligus kamuSetentunya Yang Esa tidak sia menciptaKebenaran yang satu dalam beraneka rupaKini bila ku bersujud di rumah ibadatkuKusedar kau berbuat sama di rumah ibadatmuTepatkah perintah yang alim dan yang ulamaCara dan keimanan kau tak diredha oleh Yang Esa?Ini akan aku putuskan dengan sendiriNamun pasti kan ku pelawa kau ke tempat suciku nantiDan bersolatlah kami, kau dengan caramuPelawalah juga kau aku ke tempat sucimu nantiDan bersolatlah...

Macro Photography Tips

Much has been written on the topic of Macro photography for those photographers fortunate enough to own a DSLR with macro lenses – but what about if you own a compact point and shoot camera? Can you get great macro shots too? While the results achievable with a point and shoot camera in macro mode probably won’t compare with a DSLR with a purpose built macro lens I’ve still seen some remarkably good shots with compact cameras (all three shots in this post were taken with compact cameras).Select Macro Mode – this is a fairly obvious first step but I’m always surprised by how many digital camera owners haven’t explored the shooting modes...
