My recent two trips to Bangladesh's Chittagong and Malaysia certainly Sabah's Kota Kinabalu have been eye-opening at first and inspiring the next, to say the least.
From the last several hundreds of pictures I have taken for that two trips, I have become more flexible in controlling my digital camera which is six years old.
The image quality is sharper and contrast of colours are also stronger.However, there is a far bit away for me to go in terms of capturing what I see straight onto a picture.
Having said that, the inspiration I have got from taking pictures for these two trips had helped me on many different levels. I found myself more prone to taking a step back, tilting my head a little bit,walking to
the back of objects or even squatting down...whatever I do to let my eyes following the curiosity.By doing so, I think I'm gradually learning to look at the world in the eyes of photographer. Hence, pictures with unusual angles can be generated.
This has not only helped me with taking better pictures, but also contributed to my life philosophy.
I used to be a very tensed person who was extremely stubborn, negative and not easily pleased.
I am now able to appreciate matters, objects and people more after gaining perspectives from taking steps back and looking things at another angles.the world is a lot more beautiful that way and it helps you to really get into the present moment, appreciating the power of now instead of worrying what else is lacking to make
the present moment more perfect.
The World is under your feet, it's up to you how to explore it.
