Whisper after me; "I see dead people"

Whisper after me: “I see dead people”. Chinatown as seen from this spirited junction.

Flying Peanut Butter Jelly

A speeding LRT train becomes peanut butter jelly in a slow six-second exposure.

Since I have a stack of ND (Neutral Density) filters left over from the Transit of Venus, I thought I might as well put it to good use. After all, the next occurrence is in 105 years.

So interestingly, 4 pieces of ND8 (3 stops x 4 = 12 stops in light reduction) created some strange and bizarre images in bright sunlight. Because the exposures took as long as 3 or 4 seconds, a tripod was necessary. The Cokin filters also introduced a severe colour shift when stacked together.

Frame The Frame

A lone Chinese temple in the middle of the green acres, presented me with an unusual visual frame to juxtapose the vastness beyond.

Golden Harvest

This farmer said it was perfect timing (for me) as the crop would have been harvested within a week. Land will be scorched and barren, ready for replanting. The Panasonic 7-14 mm ultrawide angle lens was deployed for this shot.

Sekinchan, the “rice bowl” of Selangor, is a picturesque place with friendly folks. The farmers were harvesting when I arrived at the padi fields, after photographing the Transit of Venus from nearby. With many seafood restaurants dotting the coast, starting from Kuala Selangor, Sekinchan is a great place for a day trip for residents of Klang Valley.

There I was flying a kite, minding my own business, on a Sunday evening. A breathtaking sunset had to unfold…

The Kite Park

Silhouettes in the wind. You know a good sunset when you see one.

Layan Layang Layang. Good thing I always have the lightweight OM-D with me.

Kicks and Kites

Kicks and Kites. ISO performance is pretty decent considering it was already quite dark around 7:30 pm. Metropolitan Park is located along the MRR2, near Kepong.
