Osmoxylum at The Secret Garden of 1 Utama
Osmoxylum lineare – The Secret Garden of 1 Utama.

The osmoxylum lineare has a unique cluster of flowers. Little buds of white seemingly burst forth from the closely packed black seeds underneath. The juxtapose of colours and texture make for an interesting sight, and photography opportunities. Apparently, osmoxylum thrives in Southeast Asian countries, namely Malaysia and the Philippines. I have not seen one before until Wuan and I went to The Secret Garden of 1 Utama. This photograph was taken with the Canon Powershot A610 attached to a monopod to reduce camera shake. I have very unsteady hands.

Table accessories - silk flowers, soya sauce and toothpicks
Table accessories – silk flowers, soya sauce and toothpicks.

This shot was taken with the Canon Powershot A610 while I was waiting for my food at the Restoran New Curry inside Taman Maluri Shopping Centre. I turned the dial to P, set ISO to 100, turned off the flash and fiddled with the white balance. This camera has been with me for four years and it was only recently that I started using the manual focus function. The result was better than I expected. I am slowly weaning myself away from using the Auto mode to learning to play with the manual settings.
