travelogue (3)
Posted by ally (: (Singapore, Singapore) on 26 June 2007 in Landscape & Rural.
do pardon the random black patch at the top left corner of the photo, as well as the faint lines somewhere near the middle. i took this from the 28th floor of the hotel, through the window. hence, i got a couple of darned reflections from the lobby lights.
no one ever said life was one straight road.
@ling: hmm. not really. haha. maybe a leeetle bit, considering it was on elevated ground ^^"
@ling: yup!
@Amit: thanks (: haha it's Genting. located in Malaysia :D

Oh lovely! sad that i have never been to Genting while i lived in Singapore, absolutely superb location to shoot. The reflections can be taken care of in PS. :)

interesting, iso 800.. add a lens hood and a polarizing filter, so u could control the light reflections better

that's amazing - it looks like the hotel is on the edge of the jungle!

@Art Monkey: well technically it was, sort-of, considering that it was on top of a mountain/hill thing (:
Henri Rabagny from Paris, France
Amazing view. It looks like a shot from an airplane.

..and sometimes random "black patches" and "darned reflections" get in the way of life's "not so straight road." Very inspirational picture allyy'*

I'm sure that road is beautiful when you're on it, and then it's a completely different beauty from above. What a place.
