When Fireflies Sleep

You may have taken a river ride on Sungai Selangor to see the fireflies in action at night but have you seen the place in the morning? The jetty at Taman Kelip Kelip in Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor was so serene and quiet that I felt like lying on a boat to drift away.

When there is sun, the Body Cap Lens shines. Think of it as a body cap with the added bonus of being a lens. Then, you won’t be disappointed and will learn to work around the so-called limitations. After all, the optional lens hood of the kit lens cost as much.

This scene kind of reminds me of 5th Avenue in Manhattan. The Body Cap Lens and OM-D combo reminds me of the Kodak Instamatic camera I had as a kid. No exposure or focus settings to worry about. Just concentrate on composition.

The Body Cap Lens’ 15mm (30mm in old money) viewpoint suits urban landscape and street photography quite well. With a wrist strap on the OM-D and the lens set to its hyperfocal distance of between 5 feet and infinity, I roamed Jalan Bukit Bintang like a happy tourist.

A Pavilion Christmas

Pavilion KL Shopping Mall always have the best festive décor in town. Their Christmas decorations are not only elaborate but very classy. Sweeping mistletoe curtain, giant chandelier, lighted stagecoach and a train moving around Christmas trees with carollers taking center stage. Simply magical.

It is also a good place to test the Body Cap Lens indoors. Now; some of you may think that the modest lens is inadequate in low light, what with its f8 fixed aperture. Combine the OM-D’s good high ISO rendition with its 5-axis image stabilization and I was able to get good handheld shots. More to come.
