The Town Hall

// January 04, 2006 f/20, 10s, ISO 100 (more •)

Ipoh is the capital city of the Perak state. My first impressions were that of a nice little quiet town. But according to Wikipedia, Ipoh is the second largest city in Malaysia! I realised I'll always feel that about most of the cities in the world, after having lived in Mumbai all m life.

The town hall and the the main railway station (on the opposite side) very much remind of the British colonial history of the town.

How did you get that special sparkling effect? Filters/photoshop or is it all through the lens?
btw..voted for you as best fotolog. I had earlier explored yr photolog via zeeshan. glad to have stumble over it again thru indibloggies. Also want to know what photoblogging s/w do you use?

Thanks.

Suhail, the sparkling effect is because of the aperture size of the lens. Narrower the aperture (the f value increases) the more the number of points the star has (or is it the other way; I did not pay particular attention to that). Read this to get some idea.

I have used Movabletype for this website. And with that, a lot of plugins to give me tight control on te output.

BTW, thanks for the vote.

This is awesome. I particulalry like the way the lights sparkle - and that streak caused by a moving vehicle?
