This was taken back during Chinese New Year when Kek Lok Si had over a thousand lanterns lighted up at night. To make things a bit more interesting I tried out the Starburst technique, after many failed attempts I finally got a more satisfied result.

Tip: steady hands and tripod required, don’t zoom in too fast to avoid camera shake

Smoke and light from the burning joss-sticks create a moody feel while the red chinese lantern at the back adds some color to the overall scene.

Tip: Sometimes dark is good, imagine this photo brightly lit! You won’t be able to see the smoke trails clearly and the mood will be totally different!
