When Fireflies Sleep

You may have taken a river ride on Sungai Selangor to see the fireflies in action at night but have you seen the place in the morning? The jetty at Taman Kelip Kelip in Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor was so serene and quiet that I felt like lying on a boat to drift away.

When there is sun, the Body Cap Lens shines. Think of it as a body cap with the added bonus of being a lens. Then, you won’t be disappointed and will learn to work around the so-called limitations. After all, the optional lens hood of the kit lens cost as much.

The Firefly Colony photographed with the Olympus OM-D @ ISO 200, f8, 1/1000 sec with the Body Cap Lens. Corner vignetting applied with Snapseed.

Frame The Frame

A lone Chinese temple in the middle of the green acres, presented me with an unusual visual frame to juxtapose the vastness beyond.

Golden Harvest

This farmer said it was perfect timing (for me) as the crop would have been harvested within a week. Land will be scorched and barren, ready for replanting. The Panasonic 7-14 mm ultrawide angle lens was deployed for this shot.

Sekinchan, the “rice bowl” of Selangor, is a picturesque place with friendly folks. The farmers were harvesting when I arrived at the padi fields, after photographing the Transit of Venus from nearby. With many seafood restaurants dotting the coast, starting from Kuala Selangor, Sekinchan is a great place for a day trip for residents of Klang Valley.

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

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