Daily Photo – Penang Buddha

Even today I’m not particularly good at taking fastidious notes about the places I photograph. Although I don’t use a GPS attached to my camera, I’ll usually use GeoSetter to tag my photos with coordinates when I import them into Lightroom while I can still remember roughly where I took them. Alternatively I’ll make a snap with my iPhone to capture the coordinates.

This is a roundabout way of saying I’ve no idea at which temple in Penang this Buddha resides. I do know it was not the temple I’ve featured before.

I usually feel somewhat unsettled taking photos in religious spaces, always concerned I’m interrupting an worshiper event though I’m not particularly religious myself. Many houses of worship don’t allow tripods to be used and on this trip I wasn’t carrying one anyway, so this is a hand-held shot in low light so I’m pleased with the way it turned out given the film was Fujichrome 100.
