Happy Deepavali (or Diwali) to my Hindu friends.
I took the opportunity of the holiday to go down to KL and snap me some pictures. These shots were taken around Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, near the Maju Junction. The Canon 400D and Tamron SP90 were the gear used in this excursion, I was trying to see the effect of using a basically macro/portrait lens for streets photography.

specks of gold
the spiral
In the older part of the city, you can find remnants of architecture from the bygone era. Do we still have dedicated fire escape routes in shop houses these days?
where do you want to go today?
There are a few more of these at my flickr set

Brilliant… Did you use a filter to get the specks of gold out?

Angie,
No, it was just some very simple color channel toying that got me the effect.
