Square of Justice - Putrajaya Malaysia



This is the Node of Putrajaya 'Dataran Mahkamah'. It was raining and I have no choice but to
shoot for the Putrajaya DSLR(M) Group Outing issue. Taking advantage of the wet polished
granite floor, I took the symmetrical reference from centre of the floor pattern and pull my imaginary
line to the centre flag pole overllaped it in the camera grid. This is a Perfect Centre...
Post process in
Photomatix and final editing cropped in PS to highlight the details and reflection.

Masjid Besi - Reflective Pool


This is a reflective pool transition between the Entrance Arch and the Entrance Foyer.
I was lucky to capture the moment before they switch on the fountain and loosing the
reflective effect. Post process in Photomatix and final editing and cropped in PS.

Malabar Street

I saw this alley of Malabar Street as I walked along my favorite street of North Bridge Road.
I am astonished with the tranquil mood and tone of the building with its strong
perspective capturing vista....

Nostalgia of Orchard Road

As I walked along my favorites street of North Bridge Road I saw this old building at the
junction of Orchard Road. The longest and busiest shopping line at the Business District.
Captured it before it vanished to the new development and converted to Sepia.....

My Beauty

Wheelock Place Singapore



Wheelock Place is a sophisticated shooping mall which linked directly to MRT station undergrond....
I like the structural expression of the main entrance...It takes it form from a conical shape with
glass cladding and form of a structural web in the interior....

Marina Bay Singapore

Captured these latest glass office buildings at Marina Bay Singapore from the floating deck.
Took from the best angle at 7.30pm on tripod. I like the panoramic view and the
outline of the buildings with the blue hue in the background.

Nusajaya Johor DT


I went to Johor Administration Center at Nusajaya for quick shooting of various Admin
Buildings this morning. The weather was hazy and not suitable for Architectural Buildings
shooting as no shadow casting and the color will be fairly plain. I took this shot of the State Sec.
Building post process in HDR and converted to monocrome with slight tweak on the tint...

Young Lotus Leaf

Captured closed up shot of lotus leaf in its rolled form at my home garden. The single leaf took
a few days more to widely open directly to sunlight. Never took the shot from this angle before
and it turns out quite unique in its double rolled effect and eventually formed a very nice LOVE symbol outline..

Afternoon at Kg Tj Langsat



Revisited this place again recently and I am lucky to get full sunshine and

and moods ...I like this shot overlooking the cove of Sungai Johor.

Underground Bikers

Captured this window dressing in one of the health product shop in KLCC. I was attracted
to the details and the accessories of the bike in contrast of the product display
and the lighting was good. Quickly captured without being noticed by the shopkeeper until
forgotten to increased the f no...but I loves the scene and the colour.
