The Silver Chariot

The Silver Chariot

The annual festival of Thaipusam saw thousands of Hindu devotees take to the streets of Kuala Lumpur last night. The 15-km procession of the golden statue of deity Lord Muruga on a silver chariot started around midnight and ended at Batu Caves just before noon.

Photography Tip: To add some glow to the chariot, overexpose it slightly and apply either some greasy  fingerprints on the lens filter or use a software haze or fog filter.

Hail The Wheel

Remember, once upon a time, Kuala Lumpur was part of the Great Big Ferris Wheel Club along with Yokohama, London, Dallas, Singapore and other cities?

This girl was setting up her camera on a mini-tripod for a self-timer shot with her friends. At places of attraction, combine the frequently-photographed landmark with unusual subjects for a different picture.
