Lunch break at a MRT construction site in the city. Photographed with the new OM-D EM-1 and the Zuiko 12-60mm f2.8 lens.

Giraffes In Love
Under a romantic Serengeti sunset, two giraffes stare at each other lovingly. Kuala Lumpur city is like a safari, if you open your eyes.
Yesterday, I saw two lovey-dovey construction cranes but they were like 5 kilometers from where I stood. Quickly mounted the 75-300mm (150 to 600mm) zoom lens. Turned on the 2x extender and it became a 1200mm lens effectively.
At that extreme focal length, it was almost impossible to hold steady, let alone frame accurately. With the sun setting fast, setting up a tripod may mean losing the shot. The only option was to set the camera to a fast shutter speed and fire a burst. Love is fickle.

What A Caper!
I am not photographing an illusion created by shooting through glass. There is no glass, only a frame. Neither is this a distorted reflection off a skyscraper window. It is the actual shape of the buildings. Notice how the other buildings are not bent? I like the design of the The Capers in Sentul East. It dares to be bold and different. KL’s skyline needs more funky architecture.
