50 Favorite Shots VI
….Every picture tells a story. Here, I present to you my favorite 50 shots taken around Malaysia….
Balik Pulau, Penang. My late grandma’s place. I have gotten myself a new digital camera Ixus 50 for free due to some manufacturing default in my previous model, Ixus 3.2 which I used for about 15 months. I tried to get used to the new camera before I go on a trip to Bali the following month, so I snapped away.
#26 Explosions. Fireworks during eve of Chinese New Year in Selayang. It’s never easy to capture fireworks. This was a lucky shot.
# 27 It’s a Bug’s Life. This leafy bug was hanging out in the kitchen where the family congregated. At first, I seriously thought it was a fallen leave and it was not unusual to have leaves around the kitchen as the house is near the forest. But this leaf could move!
# 28 Two Lives. The egg plant with my nephew riding a bicycle as background. How one fuel the other in order to survive.
#29 Weeping truck. The major cause of most jams in Malaysia. Keh Poh Chi aka Busy Bodies slowing down to look at accidents by the Simpang Ampat highway. We didn’t stop though. This photo was taken while the car was moving. A painter friend said this photo has interesting composition. It was as though the truck is weeping in front of the fireman. Intriguing take.
#30 Infinity. Simpang Ampat, Perlis. A day after the paddy is harvested. Visiting my brother’s wife and family at her home.
