There’s one thing that I learned from doing photography as a hobby: make it easy for the audience to discover … Continue reading Photography Tip: Make It Easy For Our Audience to Discover The Subject in Our Picture
In the last few years, I’ve improved my photography skills to a point where some random people DM-ed my Instagram … Continue reading Photography Tip: Take Pictures With Level and Upright Lines.
“Dear passengers,” kata sang kapten sambil mematikan lampu kabin. “In 10 seconds, if you’re sitting on the left side of the plane, you’ll see the Northern Lights from the window seat.”
Anjayyy!
Seketika itu juga, kabin penerbangan Norwegian Air itu riuh rendah. Semua penumpang celingukan mencoba melihat langit melalui jendela di sisi kiri pesawat. Mereka yang duduk di bangku kanan cuma bisa gigit jari di 10 menit pertama, sampai penumpang yang di sisi kiri puas melihat Northern Lights.

Sejak gue kecil, gue selalu pengen nyoba naik kereta di pegunungan Alpen. Seperti yang gue lihat di film-film, gue pengen naik kereta yang melewati pegunungan bersalju, sambil menikmati indahnya gunung berselimut salju lainnya di horizon…
Terus sambil menyeruput coklat hangat. Beuh.
Dibandingin berlibur di kota-kota besar, gue lebih pengen backpacking dan menikmati suasana desa-desa atau kota-kota kecil di Eropa yang tenang dan indah. Gue pengen menjelajahi kastil-kastil dan rumah-rumah tua di sana. Gue juga pengen mendaki gunung. Gue pengen melewati lembah, juga melihat sungai yang mengalir indah ke samudera. Siapa tahu nanti gue ketemu Ninja Hatori.
Coba bayangin: Malam itu, lo sedang berdiri di tengah lembah bersalju, gelap, lembab, dan jauh dari kota di mana lo menginap. Lo menggigil berjamaah, bersama beberapa turis dari beberapa negara berbeda. Langit tidak berawan pada malam itu, dan bintang-bintang yang terpampang terang membuat lo tersadar, “Langit malam ternyata bisa secantik ini juga.”

After using Fujifilm X-T20 for two years, I found two things with the camera that limited me in doing my photography style. The camera autofocus, when paired with wide-aperture lenses, can be unreliable in capturing movements. Also, the lenses I have don’t allow me some flexibility in focal length while maintaining really shallow depth of field at the same time. In summary, I like having a wide-aperture zoom lens, and the best that I can get is a 16-55 f/2.8 lens.

Moving to Copenhagen gave me a lot of free time for myself. I still remember the very first few days I working here: it was 5:30 PM, I was already home, and I did not know what to do! As an Indonesian, I was never used to having so much free time after work.
So I decided to pick up photography again after several years, and started thinking to get a proper camera. “What kind of camera do you want?” I asked myself.
