IOI City Mall, Putrajaya – Part 16

It may not be the best place to shoot from as some skaters tend to come near to grab the rail. If you are unlucky, one of those hand-holding couples will block most of your view.

If you attained a fast enough shutter speed, you can capture any unexpected subject. Don’t forget that relative speed is exaggerated when a subject is too close and thereby is harder to freeze or to capture without motion blur.

Skaters do slow down though when they consciously aim for the rails. Speaking of freeze, her meager attire bears testimony to my previous observation that so-called ice skating rinks nowadays are no longer the freezing chambers they used to be.

IOI City Mall, Putrajaya – Part 15

As a kid, I have only tried the rinks in Sungai Wang Plaza and at Asiajaya mall. Many younger people only know of the one in Sunway Pyramid nowadays.

The Sungai Wang and Asiajaya rinks were like cold meat storage rooms. Completely sealed from outside, they were cold as winter inside. That attracted people, I suppose. The massive refrigeration costs may have made them broke though. I wonder if Asiajaya mall still exists.
