BOKEH

Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light.

Bokeh is different from sharpness. Sharpness is what happens at the point of best focus. Bokeh is what happens away from the point of best focus.

Bokeh describes the appearance, or "feel," of out-of-focus areas. Bokeh is not how far something is out-of-focus, bokeh is the character of whatever blur is there.










Lovely Night

There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are - Edward Steichen

Night Photography and a use of Long Exposure,

Finding my self in world of hate and fear.

ong for anything that i can live with while having this FEAR, Fear of leaving my comfort zone to shoot things that i havent encounter yet.

shooting in low light is one of the toughest experiences when you shoot at night.

some photograhpers dont use their camera beacause low light photographer needs some basic skills and talent that you can only learn while doing it.

setting up your camera for the right exposure and white balance,

puting it on a tripad and looking for a good location on where you can stand and think of random ideas that you wanted to by your audiences.

timing is the very important key for doin this.

looking at the spot where your eye can only see.

then press that Shutter button and wait to a moment..

and reviw your shot.

adjust this,

adjust that.. is one of the key components of Night Photography.

until your satisfied to the result that will come out.


Finding you self at the place where you have those FEARS with you, is the adrenaline that keeps you shooting for more.





Fear+Ideas.

In front of me

Here are my entry to the Keeping.Our.Hands.Tied. exhbit

"A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety."
Ansel Adams

"The Tribute"

You Dont Take Photographs, You Make Them.


"You don't make Photographs,
You Make It." - Ansel Adams.


Having a camera on your hand is not just pointing a viewfinder to you subject, taking them make those moments sealed from the past.

Pressing that shutter is like grabbing a piece of that subject and making it as your own.

Adjusting the setting on your camera makes your subject alive in your mind.

Looking at them and seeing things, moments and idea that your eye can only see.

Taking Those shots will make you feel glad and yet at ease.

Being the one who have the idea and the vision that only you can think of,

and telling to your friends that idea and the story in the picture.

Teaching other to make there own photographs, how to look at things, how to play with a stuff that you only see in your silly mind.

Having a jerk feeling while taking funny shots to your subject,

Kneeling down on things that you only see when you look closer to things and using them as your leading actor to your masterpiece.

Looking up in the sky and seeing Shapes and figures in clouds, think of what angle and feels to use the Rules and yet Breaking Them.

Have you ever felt this way before?

Having a camera on your hand makes you a creator, that create ideas to share to the world that those Eyes Can See.


I love Reading Quotes and Saying of the photographer who make me do things that my eye can see..


having their saying give me sa encouragement that i need when i came to a moment that don't touch or click that shutter button to my camera.


Why I am i doing this.. To see if other persons will like my story on the particular Photograph. sharing the same moments when they remember the same moment that i have when i took that shot.

hearing from their comments and affection to that photo helps me to do more and think out side the kulambo for ideas to add to my collection.


NOW i leave this page to a quote from a famous Photographer Diane Arbus:


"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know. "
