Shakti Temple

Chanced upon this new landmark in Kuala Selangor the other day. What struck me most was the single earth tone colour used. The Shakti Hindu Temple in Bukit Rotan stood out beautifully as it basked in the warm rays of the setting sun.

While the axis of great temples are usually aligned to ancient precepts, it took 10 seconds for Photoshop CS6’s powerful “Content Aware Fill” to remove an unsightly telecommunications tower at the back.

Pearly Towers

The Petronas Twin Towers glisten in the sunset just now. I changed the camera’s white balance to the tungsten preset for a cool, bluish moonlight hue. To better expose the pearl-like highlights, I used spot-metering on the shiny parts.
