Tight security on the 10th anniversary of Sept 11. This photo was taken on Sept 11, 2011 at Bukit Bintang area, Kuala Lumpur. The first time I took part on a photo walkabout organized by members of PhotoMalaysia.com

The theme for the shoot is something to do with Sept 11. At first, the only thing I could think about it damaged building, plane crash etc. How does one find that in the heart of KL.

The next best thing I could come up with is security. So we walked around shooting security guards till I got this nice sign at the Pavillion. Managed to get this shot. Did you notice another palm behind the Security Check sign? It was just a coincidence.
 

Butterflies Flying At Night

Butterflies at night. No they don't really fly at night. Only fake ones do.



Painted with light.

Dry Flower In The Dark

I tried out the FA 50mm f 1.4 lens and was really impressed by its sharpness. Off course, I can only compare it to the 18 - 55mm zoom. If I see the photo below at 100% crop at the base of the vase, I'm truly impressed. This has really gotten me to look at prime lens more than a zoom.



This bunch of dried flowers sits on my coffee table. Lit with a LED torchlight that gives out white light, I had a bit of fun experimenting with lighting it from the top and the side.

Butterflies In The Dark

I've often wondered what butterflies do at night. Do they sleep? Or do they just find some flowers and wait there till morning? Or are they as busy as us? I found out that they like to be photographed. The fake ones anyway.

I took the vase into the bedroom and set it away from the wall. We have a lot of windows so the room wasn't totally dark and I worked quickly to the this photo.

Been Thinking Lately

 

I've been doing a bit of thinking lately. Since I don't have much time to shoot outdoors, I decided to shoot this fella. He's been created to think, this wooden sculpture. I didn't have a model so he's the next best choice.
