Though without realising during my trips I capture lots of picture of local people while they were doing their activities. I am often amazed about how a facial feature, skin and hair colour of one ethnic is different from another. To me all the differences makes this world even more beautiful and travelling becomes more interesting.
I was looking through my photo collection when I said to myself, "Okay, I guess I'm not that lousy at candid photography. These pictures looks quite decent." So I thought I would share some of my faves with you...

Do you have any good tips for candid photography? Please share with me :)
DebbZie, these are one of the most interesting travel pictures I've ever seen! Honest to goodness. I think we've seen many pictures of famous landscapes or other typical tourist pictures (kissing the Sphynx, etc). I think your photos describe a lot not only about the place, but also about how people live there. Pictures of little kids selling souvenirs always break my heart :-(
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like this post, Halida :)
DeleteSomehow most of the time I take pictures of elderly people and kids. I didn't realize that before, hihihi
Apanya yg terrible yak?? Bagus2 semuaaa gini kokkk... Paling keren ganya si polisi di Itali dong..haha.. Polwan nya kek nantangin gitu yahh :p
ReplyDeleteIni yang foto2 candid masih ok sih, kalo suruh motret orang pas dia hadap camera biasanya jelek hasilnya, hihihihi. Si Polwan keliatan jutek ya, kayak cewek ngambek sama pacarnya :p
DeleteI LOVE this! I do a lot of people watching when I travel and I love your photos, they are really good!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Aggy. It's interesting ya, one of my faves things to do while traveling :D
Deletembak debby, sepertinya anda sudah layak mempunyai album foto yang dijual di rak buku travel photography. Saya bakal beli bukunya. Pengaturan komposisi yang ada di foto2 portrait tersebut, nampaknya cuma ada di benak seorang yang telah menemui berbagai macam jenis suku bangsa. Saya suka sekali. Terima kasih untuk pengalih pikiran dari rutinitas nya, mbak. :D
ReplyDeleteTerima kasih, Fanny. Aku masih harus belajar banyak lagi dan lagi karena seringnya masih malas memotret dengan tehnik yang benar, hanya mengandalkan mode auto di pocket camera :p
DeleteTapi senang sekali kalau foto-foto ini bisa memberi hiburan di tengah kesibukan kamu :)
yang paling juara itu foto yg 2 polici di Italy, sumpaah kayak diarahin gayanya :) dan backgroundnya aaaaak, keyeeeeennnnn
ReplyDeleteitu ambilnya aku ga berani arahin camera ke polisi *takut dikeplak*. Jadi asal jepret aja gituh, hihihi
DeleteI wish.. how i wish i can travel the world. More and more. Like you :'(
ReplyDeletenothing is impossible, right? Just dream big and make it happen :)

ReplyDeleteMakasih Ankhe :)
DeleteBoleh dech dibungkus bawa pulang, mereka emang unyu yach, hihihi
Hi, Debb!
ReplyDeleteJust like your tagline says, "when picture speak thousand words"
I can feel the local honesty throughout your pics. And... off course, photography is not just about composition, view, angle, but also the right moment.
"Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but pictures. Kill nothing but time"
yup, that's why I love taking candid pictures of the local people :)
DeleteLove all of your pictures Debz... And I must say I have "the seaweed farmer in Bali" picture too and that is because of you hahaha
ReplyDeleteThanks Halim. Same person (seaweed farmer), same place but different time and outfit ya :p
DeleteThe last photo is ... MAN WITH BOOBS?
ReplyDeletewakakakaka....perhatian banget sihhhh :))
Deletefoto ya bagus2 kok walau candid, kyya mbk candid profesional nih...
ReplyDeletepny pengalaman abis foto candid, trus dimintain duit, kl gk orangya marah2, atau mau ditipuk pake batu atau hal2 yg tidak menyenangkan gk mbk ?
kl pengalaman sy, mau foto wanita di dubai diem2, eh.. ketahuan, doi marah2 pake bahasa planet, sy oke..oke aja,
abis itu saya tanya ke tour guide, teryata kita tdk blh sembarangan foto wanita di dubai tanpa persetujaun orang itu....
pasti pernah donk, ketauan motret ibu pedagang daging ayam di Taiwan, marah banget sampe maki2 sambil ngacung2in pisau gitu, ihihihi
DeleteSaya terkesima dengan hasil potret orang-orang yang berbeda di setiap tempat yang berbeda pula, dunia ini luas :)
ReplyDeletebuat aku perbedaan ras itu cantik. sayangnya buat sebagian orang malah dijadiin alasan buat perang :'(
