Storming the quiet streets

It was a gloomy Saturday morning, when 3 dudes decided to storm the streets of Pudu shooting everything in its way. Yes, it was the normal weekly shutter therapy again. Lately, I have been filled up with tonnes of mixed and unwanted emotions which I shall try to keep it to my own and not to flood any of my posts here no more.

Back to shutter therapy, though it was a gloomy day, it did not stop us from shooting. No sun, more clouds = more people on the streets. But my goal of that day was to frame everything and anything around not only people. Oh, and check other previous posts for the rest of the photos.


A true photo enthusiast will go places no one will just to get the perfect shot.

Best way to keep your helmet safe, hang it above you.

Rusty gears. Not Rustie gears, my gears are still fine.


Tools. Yeah, the tools are immaterial, the resulting piece is what's most important. Sound familiar, look up the top of my blog.

Another safe way to secure your helmet, hang it by the rubbish bin. People are unlikely to steal rubbish. Do they?

The moment of truth, live or die


Ham Jin Peng

Great pics! But I can see lots af artifacts (stair-like edges). Too much sharpening or is my browser defective?

Hi SvenReinhold,
Thanks for the comment. Yes, there were certain amounts of sharpening done but it shouldn't affect much on the final image. Mind sharing what browser were you on?

Cheers.
