As it happens with each Eldership adventure, after all the ups and downs, the transits to and from, the good places and not so good places to stay, our time in SE Asia (Now with Special Added Australia!) is coming to a close. Yesterday Wife wanted to cover the area of downtown and old town that we'd done our first day with the 3's to be more able just photograph.
So we took our Grab to one of the downtown malls to have our afternoon big meal at another branch of the restaurant we visited during our tour day. We also made a decision that we were going to later in the day. That put is in a good place to retrace our steps but going in the other direction. It also meant we missed the hottest part of the day. (In the post-trip navel gaze post, I will discuss our feeling that we need to change our daily life pattern when we are in the tropics like this.)
I was perusing YouTube looking for some guidance on photographic composition when I came across a piece of advice that one should know what one's focus/subject is when one shoots as the underlying guide to your composition. 🤔 I don't think I've ever done that. What did I want to capture on this last shoot? I decided I wanted to give my readers a rather real, unvarnished feel for what central JB is like. Whether I succeeded or not is not as important to me at this point as the process of trying to do it.
So without commentary let me give you my impression of a Sunday evening going through downtown and old town Johor Bahru
BUT STILL
SIGNS OF THE WORLD
Auto Curry is one of the delights of Malay cuisine. But catching an auto to make the curry is strictly limited as many who own cars get quite upset with their being turned into a celebratory meal. You can only fish for autos in certain areas.
