River Of Fire

Traffic flowed like molten lava spilling from a volcano in this long exposure of a busy city street. The rain last night and the resulting wet surfaces enhanced the liquid look.

I was at first tempted to use a Joby GorillaPod to clamp the camera onto the railing of the bridge where I stood. There was too much vibration so I opted for the Manfrotto 190CX carbon fibre tripod on the concrete floor. It is fairly stable given its small footprint and is light enough for gun and run-style shooting. Certain overhead pedestrian bridges are dark and known spots for mugging so is a good idea to stay agile.

A Town Named Titi

A tiny town, a pretty building, a lone pedestrian and a wet road. A photo moment.

Photography Tip: What do you do when the road is sloping and there is no horizon to act as a reference to level your picture? It can get more confusing as some very old buildings tend to appear distorted due to wear and tear, modifications or poor restoration.

When you encounter such a scene, find a centre vertical line to align. In this case, I used the door.

The Ramly burger stall is everywhere. Even high up where lightning frequently strike. See the dead tree?  🙂 Let’s celebrate today with the things we all love. Roadside hawker food and beautiful vistas.
