Wonder/Wander

Wonder/Wander
The last (and third) theme for the Canon PhotoMaraton 2024 I participated in last Saturday was “Wonder/Wander”. Heading indoors, we decided to explore this theme using a semi-slow exposure trick I have employed before in urban indoor photography. Looking for a high vantage point in a busy setting is the first step. The next is to look for groups of people with different vibes of activity so as to create what I call an “oasis of calm in a sea of chaos” effect. The effect in my final submission was done all in-camera as required by the rules. This version shown here is enhanced later in Lighroom for colour balance, clarity and luminance but is otherwise largely similar to the original.

My sincere apologies for the lack of updates for more than the past half a year… Lots of life changes have taken place and I hadn’t any time to update this photoblog nor to take new pictures.

New abode, new scenes to explore but I couldn’t help re-visiting a shot I did 14 years ago when heavy rain came this evening. Different window, different surroundings and different lights and hopefully a different feel from what I did previously 🙂
