Where there are lotus, there is life

We were on the way to do some last minute relaxation and photo session on the grounds of Angkor Wat for sunset when i saw this lady in the moat. Quickly realising what she's doing, i ran off without telling Maya and Tech my destination. I could hear from the distance Tech exclaiming "Dia pegi mana pulak tuuuu?!!" and i was hoping, kneeling by the moat, hop some more, run a bit by the edges hoping i wont slip and fall into the water and hop and knell and taking around 30 photos of the lady. I must have been a sight. Sometimes, there's just no time to explain things especially when the lady was moving, the sun was disappearing fast and we still had to walk 15 mins into Angkor Wat's internal compound for our preferred seating.

The lotus pond was on the left side of Angkor Wat and it is actually a better place to take photos of Angkor Wat reflection in the water or silhouette than the pond on the right. Note taken for future trip there. Had no chance to change spot because i was actually on the way back from the toilet on the left side and Maya and Tech sudah berkampung on the right.

Had to do some post editing with this one...the was a load of sh!t on the ground (pardon my french) and it just wont do. Lots of shitty puns were said during editing.

Sayang oh sayang

Photos with my Sayang taken by Lingling with his...*collective gasp!* iPhone.

He likes this one for some strange reason. I think its the "Private Carpark" sign. read the meaning behind it yourself.


I hold the camera differently for vertical shot than Lingling. Somehow. Thats how we know who took which vertical shot whenever we review photos. Mine would be 90degree off to the left, his will be 90degree off to the right.

Longkang. Something was in it. Worried expression have a lot to do with the cars passing by the very narrow alley.

As i said again and again, it doesnt matter if you have a dslr for pro or for beginner like me, or a simple point and click camera or a PHONE CAMERA, if you have the right perspective, the right eye and the willingness to climb trees, stand on an unstable pile of rock, get wet or/and lie down in a longkang, you will take an interesting shot.


Or balancing on a VERY HIGH ledge taking an upward shot.


Or making your taxi driver stop suddenly and crossing roads to chase elephants.

It all comes down to: will you or won't you?

And another way to take good photos, follow a crazy enthusiastic girl with a big ass camera and you get interesting shots of her doing everything she can to take a photo.

Kejar-kejar

At one of the backlane of Jonker Street, Malacca, Lingling went wild.
