This is the night view of the Astana, located in Kuching. You can read more about it in our previous post. If you notice carefully, there is a UFO on top of the sky!!! Can you see it? Let me zoom it in.

It is actually the DBKU Building (Dewan Bandaraya Kuching Utara or Kuching North City Hall) where the cat musuem is located. It is located across the Sarawak River from Kuching Waterfront.

Finally, I have broken the bottle neck again to come out with Light in the Night 5. From Series 1 - 4, they all are quite similar. This time, let me tell you a new method I used.
I did not bring my tripod because it is too bulky. I held my camera steadily to take all of these photos. Some of them are blurred because of shaking. Some of them were purposely shaken to create the panning effect.

The method I used this time compare to the previous method is the shaking times were reduced. If I released the shutter for 5 second, I let it held still for 3 second and the last 2 second I shook the camera. That’s why you can still see the reflection on the river remain the same.

This photo is produced by hold still first to let it absorbed the building light and shake it vertically. That’s why the building can still be clearly seen.

This is the view of Kuching Waterfront from the Ala Cart building (from Star Cineplex floor).

Can you see the Tua Pek Kong Temple? Recently they have just removed the green fences that they used when they did the renovation.
From both of the picture above, please take note on the green-lighted-trees on the left corner. Here come the new series of Light in the Night 5.
On the next four pictures, you can see the green horizontal lines; can you guess what are they? This is the effect of hold still before shaking – my new panning photography method.

Again, let imagine and put yourself into the world of abstract art.


Let me give you another clue: - the photo is taken in vertical, but I do not even bother to rotate it since it is the abstract art.

The four horizontal lines are actually the green-coloured trees.
