The pasar malam is such a riot of colours. Muting the saturation alone, yielded a charming pastel effect. Although it is known as a night market, business is already brisk when the stalls open around 5 pm.

Saw this backpacking cyclist in Brickfields today. The area is also also known as the Little India of Kuala Lumpur. In a brief chat, found out he is from the USA and his last stop was Bali. I like the colourful backdrop provided by the Indian ornament shop.

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.
