[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today on the 6th July 2008 (Sunday), time at 7.30 am, venue at Gaya Street KK. This my first time taking photo with friends that have lots of experiance. I am so excited walking with them at gaya street, and in the same time taking picture with them. So many things I want to ask, and so many things need to be learned form them, but time and situation of commitment can be distraction of focus. Even though it was only a few hours with both of them, I have learn a lot from them.

Assignment was to take people picture or portrait or faces, but it was not that easy, so many elements need to be aware. Faces expression, BG situation, Light composition, POV, DOF or everything does need be aware of it. So tough.

Who can define BEAUTIFUL, this word is an abstract words, it can be you face, it can be your hearth, it can be your actions, it can be your words, but Beauty always came out from your faces expression, followed by your action and words.

“Beauty is a characteristic of a person, place, object or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology and culture. As a cultural creation, beauty has been extremely commercialized.

An "ideal beauty" is a person who is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture. A number of historical individuals have become icons of beauty - for example, women like Cleopatra VII, Helen of Troy, and Marilyn Monroe.
The subjective experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is a common phrase that expresses this concept.

In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence. An "object of beauty" is anything that reveals or resonates with personal meaning.” (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


Thanks for viewing.

Hi Steve,

Bulih juga ni gambar. This must be the blind musician at Gaya Street. If I didn't know he's blind, I would have thought that he is really getting into the feeling of his music. Superb closeup with very clear details of his face. Composition is also good with nice DOF. I just think there is some distraction in the BG like the blurred elbow and guitar. Very interesting note too.

TFS.

Regards,
Alvin

Tobpinai,
Great note, very interesting. Your shot that captured the expression of the blind performer at Gaya Street is part of the beauty you define. A bit harsh lighting that produces OE, my friend. I also do agree with Alvin's comment. Nanti kita torining lagi. Kalau rajin, saya percaya, kompom bulih improve.

Majulah Fotografi Untuk Negara
