Abstract photography
This was taken after the fireworks shoot at the Kallang River waterfront. The complex of restaurants at the Oasis next to the Singapore Indoor Stadium has always been a good potential subject for night photography. I decided to make use of the colorful reflections in the water this time round to create an abstract, long-exposure shot.
I made a recce trip today to Changi Coast Road to see what photo opportunities were available but ended up at Changi Jetty yet again. Just when I was about to leave for good, a group of canoeists lined their canoes by the beach prior to their practice. The strong sunlight and patterns of the canoes caught my attention for this close-up, almost-abstract shot. I have converted the original to a sepia-toned monochrome shot to emphasize the strong patterns and lines.
After a short reprieve from the rainy weather last week, the rain-gods are at it again — it has been raining continuously again for the last 24 hours.
Getting home after a tough day at work, I decided to try out a little indoor abstract photography. Noticing the beads of rain water on my bathroom window pane, I tried a close-up shot on them. Using a wide aperture setting, I threw the streetlights in the background into nice blurry circles. The whitish circle of light came from the passing headlamps of a car in the distance.
Thanks to darling CY for the succinct title for the shot! While not quite truly a kaleidoscope by definition, I think the title is appropriate in describing the colourful patterns and details captured.
