This girl was flying her kite so gracefully, from faraway. The light at the Kite Park was perfect. Backlit and gentle wind lifting strands of her hair. But I needed one more element to frame the subject, make it a balanced visual composition.

Unexpectedly, a little girl next to me started shooting soap bubbles into the air. The telephoto lens (600mm) defocused the nearer floating bubbles into colourful circles. Unwittingly, the toddler created the most beautiful organic Instagram filters ever. Magical!

Imagine a paradise where every adult and child is playing with a device that requires no battery and it has no screen. Can that be possible? Yes. It happens only for a few hours every Sunday at the Kite Park. Photographed with the Olympus OM-D, Pana Ultrawide Lens and Olympus Dramatic Tone Art Filter.

Lingering Sunset

Past 7:30 pm, the beach at Bagan Lalang looked very dark to the naked eye. It was so dark, I didn’t even realise there were still beachcombers around. The camera saw the lingering sunset differently with an exposure of 1 second at f 1.4.

Don’t carry a tripod when you are on vacation. Make do with any solid surface you find around you. I parked the camera on some rocks by the seafront embankment. The 2-sec self-timer was used to eliminate camera shake during pressing of shutter release button.

In the background, the chalets of the Golden Palm Tree Resort (Sepang Goldcoast) extend from the coastline into the Straits of Malacca.
