Unfortunately, Batang Berjuntai wasn’t allowed to hang on to its colourful name. It was renamed vanilla Bestari Jaya. On a sunny day, some of the brightly-painted rural houses dangle like eye candy for the Body Cap Lens. Surreal and visually striking.

Christmas Eve Mass at St John’s Cathedral, Kuala Lumpur earlier tonight. Built in 1883, the Catholic Church’s customary layout resembles a cross. I photographed this view from the left side of the crossbar.

This scene kind of reminds me of 5th Avenue in Manhattan. The Body Cap Lens and OM-D combo reminds me of the Kodak Instamatic camera I had as a kid. No exposure or focus settings to worry about. Just concentrate on composition.
The Body Cap Lens’ 15mm (30mm in old money) viewpoint suits urban landscape and street photography quite well. With a wrist strap on the OM-D and the lens set to its hyperfocal distance of between 5 feet and infinity, I roamed Jalan Bukit Bintang like a happy tourist.
