I was caught in a small jam along the Putrajaya Bridge. A bride was having her pics taken. I rolled down the opposite window and shot this with barely 3 or 4 seconds available as traffic started moving again. The soft filter was added later in Snapseed. If you travel with a camera, always have it nearby and ready to shoot.
That’s what my friends Sherman and Radha shout every Merdeka 🙂 This shot combined a handheld slow exposure to streak the background with a manual burst of flash held with other hand to light/freeze the foreground.
My friend Ani, a restaurant operator, was bugging me to take a pic of her that will make her look like a fashion model. So I told her to get off the car and took this pic of her against a construction site hoarding. The “deer-caught-in-the-car-headlights” look with harsh lighting and resulting shadows was popular with fashion magazines at one time or another. Of course, she didn’t believe me when I told her clients will pay thousands for that style. She was quite pleased with the outcome and it did get her catwalk career going 🙂
