Emptiness Road - Moment with Lumix

Me and Liyi overlooked this place when we drove up to Likas Hospital to testify whether or not it actually connect roads from Kingfisher to Kota Kinabalu town centre as we noticed there were pretty much vehicles enter the road from Kingfisher 2nd roundabout (the one near to Kingfisher plaza). 

However, the result turns out negative, the road only lead us to Hospital Likas, and thats the end of the story. Though, as i mentioned earlier, we saw a long path lighten by street lights and it look nice with various light source around it, and we decided to check it out.

The path is going to Dewan Undangan Negeri Kota Kinabalu (DUN) which located near to Kingfisher entrance roundabout. The exact location extracted from Google Maps as below:

Tonight me and Liyi checked them out to see if we can capture some nice night landscape photo but unfortunately its too dark to see anything from the place. Then i decided to take some photograph of Liyi with the empty-road atmosphere.

The flare from the street lamp might look distracting but i do like the shine coming out from it, i boost my ISO to 800 to get acceptable shutter speed @ 1/25sec. Liyi seem to be enjoy the session as she posed naturally to the camera.

#Or is it because GF1 look friendlier than ordinary Black chunky DSLR?

It located just right next to the South China sea and it have good view over the city and the sea. Somehow it has good scenery with trees around. Maybe you can see a better view from the DUN building itself, but I'm not sure whether we can enter without specific task or not. You should try it out yourself?

I really like the dynamic B&W of my Lumix GF1 using the pancake lens, and if u can realize the Bokeh is pretty smooth as well. For a hobbyist like me, a 4/3 camera really doest shines considering it's size and price! If you know how much i bought the camera and lens, you will think that I'm lucky to have it at that price !
