i capture what I see ….

… big mirror …
– Lee Filter GND .6s
– Lee Filter 4×4 CPL

sometime we always ask do we just capture beautiful places/view/insect/model pictures ?  this picture just a very simple picture that show the reflection from the lake .. but for me this is a beautiful view and I wish to share with my friends, family … etc .. and why care is this a good “photography” or not 😀

I have friends telling to me recently, “photographer A always shoot the same places … he/she not boring ?” … “aiya his/her pictures so so only, the places are beautiful” … “aiya, his/her picture no foreground one why like that also apture” … “why his/her picture so plain one not creative at all” …………….

I always just reply with .. “ohh” .. “hmmm” , why care other, ask yourself “do you enjoy this hobby?” if YES , then it is enough else why ? 😀

A large, long-tailed blue bird with a white-tipped tail, and chestnut hood and wings.
