Back to Klang Valley, I thought I saw an eagle soaring high above misty million-year-old rainforest.
The eagle is actually a 5-foot wide fabric kite flying opposite the fragile Forest Research Institute in Kepong. The mist is dirty haze. Reality bites like an eagle.
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.
