CnC are welcomed.
I bet all the photographers have heard this term, but do they understand it? Not all of them understood the terms comment and critics are welcomed. Yes, normally for beginner photographer, they like to post their pictures or images on web, good; they are showing their determinants on learning photography.
Normally at the bottom of the sets of photo they will write cnc are welcomed or sila komen, kritik, puji, kutuk dan sebagainya. But some of them, are getting naik darah or melenting when the pictures get kutuk-kutuk so worse. Some of them are unacceptable of the comment they get, and then becoming balas-balas cakap on that forums. Come on guys, the point is, whether you get praise or kutuk, you must accept it. Dah kalaw kaw tak mahu kene kutuk, share-share jerlah gambaq yang kaw tangkap itu dengan nenek or maktam kaw. You have upload the pic, so bear for it lah.
So many times I have found people like this. You know my style, saya suka memberi komen dengan setulus dan seikhlas hati, jika gambar itu macam bole buat wrapping paper for nasi lemak, I would say that, if it is nice, it is nice. So many times also I have been blacklist from some baru nak up photographer because of that. Yet the conclusion is, don’t go for it if you don’t dare for it. Thanks.
hambik kaw!!

Nilai wang anda bagi jurufoto perkahwinan
Untuk Apakah Anda Membayar Jurugambar Anda
-Seperti yang tersiar di dalam majalah Pesona Pengantin
Oleh: Hasnuddin Abu Samah, Pengarah Urusan, Adan Impresif.
Apabila anda mengupah seorang jurugambar untuk merakamkan gambar majlis perkahwinan anda, beliau akan mengenakan sejumlah harga tertentu bagi perkhidmatannya. Sekiranya anda tidak memahami akan proses yang terlibat dalam menghasilkan gambar perkahwinan, anda tentu akan menganggap harga yang dikenakan adalah tidak setimpal. Berikut saya senaraikan 5 kos utama yang sebenarnya terlibat dalam menghasilkan gambar perkahwinan:
1) Kos Peralatan Kamera
Untuk menghasilkan gambar perkahwinan yang baik memerlukan kamera yang berkualiti. Satu set kamera digital yang baik berharga dalam lingkungan RM 10,000. Selain dari kos pembelian, kos pemeliharaan juga diambil kira. Set kamera ini perlu dinaiktaraf, diservis dan diperbaiki jika berlaku kerosakan. Peralatan digital mengalami susut nilai yang lebih cepat berbanding peralatan kamera analog. Dengan mengambil kira semua kos inilah jurugambar mengenakan harga tertentu untuk perkhidmatan mereka. Ini bermakna, selain mengupah jurugambar, anda juga sebenarnya membayar kos sewa peralatan mereka.
2) Kemahiran Jurugambar
Untuk menjadi seorang jurugambar yang baik, seseorang itu perlulah mempunyai kemahiran fotografi yang tinggi. Selain dari itu, jurugambar juga perlu mempunyai kemahiran lain seperti kreativiti, pandai berkomunikasi, mempunyai citarasa yang tinggi dan kemahiran lain. Kemahiran ini hanya dapat dikuasai dengan pengetahuan, latihan dan pengalaman. Ini bermakna, semakin tinggi kemahiran seseorang jurugambar itu, semakin tinggi pula harga yang akan dikenakan untuk perkhidmatannya.
3) Masa Perkhidmatan
Jurugambar adalah seorang profesional. Ini bermakna, beliau hanya akan mendapat bayaran dari kerja perkhidmatan yang dilakukan. Seseorang jurugambar cuma boleh merakam gambar untuk satu majlis sahaja pada sesuatu masa. Ini bermaksud, masa adalah satu faktor yang amat bernilai kepada seseorang jurugambar. Dengan itu, jurugambar mengenakan harga untuk perkhidmatannya berdasarkan berapa lama masa yang perlu diambil untuk sesuatu tugasan.
4) Perkhidmatan Selepas Rakaman
Setelah jurugambar selesai merakam gambar untuk majlis perkahwinan anda, tugas beliau sebenarnya tidak habis di situ sahaja. Beliau perlu menyunting kesemua gambar yang telah dirakam dengan memilih gambar yang terbaik sahaja. Sekiranya perlu, gambar yang terpilih akan diperbaiki lagi dari segi kecerahan, kontras, warna, ketajaman, komposisi dan sebagainya. Seterusnya, barulah gambar anda tadi akan dicetak. Selepas cetakan gambar siap, jurugambar akan meneliti kembali kualiti cetakan gambar. Gambar yang tidak sempurna akan dicetak kembali agar mencapai tahap kualiti yang dikehendaki. Akhir sekali, kesemua gambar-gambar tersebut akan disusun ke dalam album sebelum diserahkan kepada pelanggan.
5) Kos material
Selain dari kos perkhidmatan yang disebutkan di atas, kos material juga terlibat dalam menentukan harga perkhidmatan seseorang jurugambar. Antara kos material yang terlibat ialah kos pengangkutan, cetakan gambar, album, bil telefon, kos promosi serta lain-lain kos peniagaan.
Dengan mengetahui kos sebenar yang terlibat dalam menghasilkan gambar perkahwinan, diharap anda akan lebih menghargai peranan seorang jurugambar walaupun anda terpaksa mengeluarkan sejumlah wang untuk membayar perkhidmatannya. Walau apa pun, sememangnya berbaloi untuk membelanjakan wang kepada sesuatu yang boleh anda tatap sehingga ke akhir hayat. Tambahan pula, ianya adalah gambar hari yang paling bahagia dalam hidup anda.

Bokeh
In photography, bokeh (/ˈboʊkə/ boh-kə, Japanese: [boke]) is the blur or the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of an image, or the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—”good” and “bad” bokeh, respectively Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.
Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.

open house
The open house or rumah terbuka is a unique and peculiar Malaysian tradition. Celebrated for the last 51 years since attaining independence on Aug. 31, 1957, this is one tradition that is not only hard to beat but even harder to let go. Held during major festivals and celebrations, people “open” their doors and welcome friends, relatives and even strangers into their homes.
The tradition of holding open houses during festivals such as Christmas, Hari Raya, Deepavali, Chinese New Year, Hari Gawai, and the Harvest festival, promotes among other things good neighborliness, racial harmony and understanding. The significance is, in an open house lies an open heart.
As festive seasons unleash a fury of merriment and joy, there is great enthusiasm for social visits. To host or be hosted is an unparallel Malaysian tradition.
Christmas and New Year is just around the corner and Christmas is celebrated in Malaysia with much pomp, religious ceremony and glamour. With no expenses spared for the must have Christmas pudding, turkey, and new clothes, it is a day people look forward to celebrate with family and friends alike.
This is also a time when politicians in Malaysia unfailingly retort that festivals and celebrations provide a golden opportunity for improving relations with brothers and sisters of different races and religions.
Undoubtedly, visiting each other creates goodwill and camaraderie. The Hindu festival of Deepavali or the festival of lights is a grand occasion,which commemorates the triumph of good over evil. Likewise, Hari Raya Puasa or Aidilfitri marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and Muslims celebrate it by keeping in check their baser instincts, for a whole month. During this period, many Muslims lead exemplary lives by engaging in community and charitable deeds.
In recent times, open house has transformed to a rather sorry state of affairs where this truly beautiful tradition is under threat. There are people within the establishment advocating not to patronize open houses hosted by people of other faiths. Fortunately, Malaysians are known to rise to the occasion, being staunch believers in goodwill and with a positive attitude are able to reject the claims by bigots that open houses compromise their beliefs.
It seems, Malaysia as a nation, with many “first” to its credit, like building the first tallest twin towers, has retrogressed in fostering race relations. Historically, it has been a harmonious community where people of different races and religions have lived together in peace. However, that has changed in recent times leaving behind the good old era.
Managing race relations should start with the individual. If there is unity, goodwill and a genuine concern across the religious divide, then, fellow citizens will surely reflect it in the way they treat each other.
Another perceived threat to open house has emerged within government circles. Officials believe that the annual government hosted Aidilfitri open house should be reviewed as it poses a security risk to VVIP’s.
Even if the government were to discontinue open houses at the national level, it is quite unlikely that this would spell the end of the time-tested tradition. Rather, Malaysians will continue to open their houses for the sake of goodwill.
Owing to unwise policies and activities, polarization has taken root, which has impaired inter-racial mutual understanding and respect for each other. So, it is imperative that Malaysians should get back on track, at least for the sake of children, to ensure that the tradition is preserved by successive generations.
Whilst the suggestion to set up a Race Relations Act is being mulled over by the general public, it confirms the decline in racial harmony and unity in Malaysia.
Malaysia is indeed sick and at the heart of it is the issue of race and race relations. A Senator who recently quit now plans to set up a foundation to improve race relations. A new institution called the Race Relations Council is being mooted and courses on race relations are being conducted. As a society, Malaysians need to integrate. What is not required, however, at this juncture is more laws and courses.
Efforts to enhance racial harmony should be a priority and all policies and decisions should ensure that the foregoing is not undermined in any way. I believe, money, resources and time spent in running courses is irrelevant and irksome, which instead, can be better utilized in improving and enhancing the education system, which is in shambles.
Are we forgetting that we exist in a global village? No man is an island, the proverb says.
open house on last Hari Raya, together by Uitm members. Such happy and enjoyable moments.

uitm night-view
UiTM’s main campus started with the laying of its foundation stone on 14 October 1967 by Tun Abdul Razak and by the mid-70s, the campus was already in full operation. It acts as the focal point of development and expansion to a network of other campuses. This campus is very close to Shah Alam city centre. Therefore, public facilities and services are within easy reach. An added advantage is the fact that Shah Alam is the hub of information technology and multimedia applications. It is also easily accessible via the major highways that link the city to strategic locations in the country.
