Another post from the Salford Quays area… Shooting into the sun is never easy with the high contrast involved. For this shot, I decided to make the bright morning sun part of the focus and composition. Using a small aperture helped to create a starburst effect to what would otherwise been a bright over-exposed orb.
Taking a break from the landscape pictures from the Lake District… Our trip to the UK this time around was a short one. The main priority was work but that obviously did not stop us from walking around to take pictures on our days off. We were lucky as we enjoyed relatively good weather throughout our stay. This was taken in the morning on the next day after we arrived in Manchester. The Salford Quays has always provided us with great photography opportunities and our visit this time round was no different 🙂
This year’s Tulipmania Inspired display at Gardens By The Bay takes inspiration from the artist Vincent van Gogh. Taking cue from this, I have tried to instil a painterly style into the shots I took when I visited the display last weekend by making use of the out-of-focus, shallow depth of field, bokeh effect.
