Fleeting moments frozen in time
I took the above shot at the Festival of Britain at Southbank in London a month ago because of the interesting context and composition, not realising the romance that was taking place in mid-air until I got home and loaded the pictures on my Macbook! 🙂
Taken at Lizard Point, the most southern point of mainland Great Britain… You might have noticed that my recent posts have been taken with a Panasonic Lumix G3 compact system camera. The initial plan was for me to survive on the Powershot G10 and S90 till someone could bring my DSLR kit over to London. Unfortunately, that would have also meant that I would have to miss the most of photography-friendly summer as my kit will only arrive in November! In the end, I decided on the G3 as it was reasonably-priced and still flexible enough for my photography-needs. The G3 has the advantage of being extremely portable — bringing the camera, its 14-42mm kit lens and an extra 45-200mm lens around my travels is a joy! It also means that I should have no trouble bringing it to Singapore when I eventually end my stint in London.
We spent a day this weekend visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. With the weather nice and sunny, we spent almost six hours exploring the Gardens. I am missing my DSLR for walks like these — it is no fun composing pictures on an LCD screen in bright sunlight. Despite this, I managed to catch a few pictures that I am happy with 🙂
