Carefree Highway

The under-utilised LEKAS Expressway near the Mantin mountains. In the age of digital filters, the physical glass filters are also under-utilised. There are still some things that can only be achieved by placing a specific optical filter over the lens.

On this sunny day-journey today, the Circular Polariser enabled easier shooting through the windscreen. When rotated to the correct position (angle), it lessens reflections of the glass and darkens / deepens the colours of the sky.

This weekend, I’m shooting a favourite urbex subject in line with @Instagram ‘s Weekend Hashtag Project. The theme is the underside of an overpass. Many have driven on the elevated sections of DUKE (Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway) but few have seen its underbelly. In Sentul, the underside is like a forest with giant tree trunks rising to the sky. This lone, stray puppy has made it its home.
