Sometimes I like to walk alone on the street of some foreign land and watch the world go by.
You never know what you will see in another perspective when you switch your mind off.
The clouds talk back to you, the stars wink and passer-bys in different clothing look like a painting. And then the world stops as you sip your tea, resume when you look up. Fast forward as you gaze and slow down when you’re focusing.
I still do that in Malaysia though, sometimes on LRT.
With my camera.
Groping on train
The bridge connecting Kelana Jaya LRT station and 7-11 is always bedazzling to me. I was walking pass one day and decided to pause and play with my camera.
If you set your camera on the edge, set it to manual and capture for however long the camera requires (say 1 second), this is what you will get.
I was shaking a bit to it appears to have two lines for each car light passing by.
If you set your ISO to about 800, you can actually capture the cars in motion.
Return to normal ISO (100 or 200 is fine), increase exposure,
If you’re really able to not move at all, you can create neon lights.
I walked to the other side of the bridge for different effect.
Red light district
It’s amazing how different angle and increased exposure can create different exposed photo.
Add movement to it.
And the world draws with you.
Now this is the fun part.
Go all the way vertical.
Or all the way horizontal.
Why not combine both directions.
I can do this whole night.
Try it. And show me (blog and give me a link if you don’t mind).

Gong Xi Fa Cai! That is quite creative of you. And I like the 'train groping' shot. Nice spot!
ReplyDeleteI actually posted the following quetion in one of your previous post but just in case you missed it and I am still wondering - I was browsing you photos taken during the CNY and something caught my eye. Just curious, are you 'heng hua lang'? If you're not then i guess you won't understand my question but your 'mi suah' photo happen to resemble the 'heng hua mi suah' that my grandma would prepare every year during CNY.
Err....It's look like "art".
ReplyDeleteGood take though.
For me in Hokkien, it's call "Bo Tai Chi Cho" or "Chiak Pa Siun Ge Eng".....Haha.
Hahaha cool shots.. Check mine out

hey, i'm not first!!
ReplyDeleteanyway, nice photos.

makes a very nice image
The best time exposure shot is during a fire performance at AIESEC Malaysia AMAN Night 2007 dinner.
ReplyDeleteYou can see it here. It was really good shot!
Shot 1
Shot 2
The electric shots was taken in a car while driving.. Try it, sit on a passenger seat and use a long exposure shot.
ReplyDeleteBut not too long cause it might get overexposed.
The electric is actually the streetlights.. hehe
thanks for your comments though :)

ReplyDeleteHihi,, Nice photo!!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of camera r u using now?? And how much? I really need a good camera.. haha

ReplyDelete"He does not capture pictures, he captures life..." from a Photographer (^_^)
Heh, looks quite fun. I don't carry a camera, but just sometimes I'm out and wish I did.
ReplyDeleteyou should try with longer exposure timings and it is beautiful,like a city bustling w transportations. neon all over.
ReplyDelete(ok i am finally going to vietnam)
hey nicole dat red light district area looks like kelana jaya LRT station, am I right?
ReplyDeleteDon't think I will see that kind of advertisement in the subway in my area though it will be nice, much better then looking at boring dentist ads or crap.
ReplyDeleteOooookkkk....... Now I am having a headache. Panadol please.
