Eye on Malaysia - dancing lights and water cinema

Took these pics last weekend. It was an impulse stopover at Tasik Titiwangsa....was driving along Jln Tun Razak and saw the banners promoting Water Sky Display at the Eye on M'sia. Happened to have my camera and tripod in the car boot and made a quick detour to Tasik Titiwangsa.

#1: The laser lights at the bottom left were dancing and the long exposure captured the sinusoidal wave forming an alien-like disposition. Used an ultra wide angle lens to emphasize the ferris wheel's "presence" and low ISO 50 to allow details to be captured

#2: The girl's image was projected onto a screen of water mist generated by two powerful pumphouses in the middle of the lake - quite interesting to see a floating cinema!

#3: Took this just after sunset; and before a mob of photographers from a local photo club gathered around me to take pictures. There were also two pairs of bride/bridegroom with flowing gowns and crisp tuxedos taking pictures with the same background. Well, as for me, I can always cut & paste my wedding picture onto this background to get the same effect (albeit 14 years too late!)
