There Must Be An Angel Playing With Your Heart

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, in an enchanted forest, there lived an angel with a big heart. In this modern version, the leaves are LEDs, the forest is i-City and the heart drawn by my assistant and model, Carmen.

This shot was done with her drawing the heart with a pair of LED lights held in each hand. We tried the LED light from two Samsung phones and it worked just as well. It should also work with torch-lights, glow sticks and sparklers.

The tricky part was figuring out the optimum time and speed to draw. Another challenge was in lighting up her face without too much ghosting since the FL-50R flash was fired in slow shutter sync. Light Painting is an established photography genre and art form. Hope to bring you more such pictures and share with you the techniques.

City Of Digital Lights

If you were driving along the Federal Highway near Klang and you thought you spotted a new theme park, you are partially right. i-City the new ‘tech city’ of Shah Alam decorated their grounds with enough lights to make electricity-generating companies smile.

Living up to its own moniker of ‘City Of Digital Lights’, i-City may have bought up all the LEDs from Pasar Road 🙂 The end result is quite impressive and folks are flocking there like moths to flames…

The Digital Forest

The 'digital forest' is the most popular section and during twilight it appears surreal

Digital Night Safari. The giraffe is life-size

This section reminds me of the other unintended theme park in Dong Zen Temple, Jenjarom
