Out For Class

Out For Class
It has been a while since I visited Changi Village for candid pictures. Keen to test out my new toy (a new full-frame DSLR), I made an early morning trip down for some pictures. The new ferry terminal has removed much of the opportunities for high-angle candid photography and I went away rather frustrated with what I was (or was not) getting. I was on my way back to my car when I came across this group of people at a kayaking lesson by the beach. I thought the juxtaposition of the learners standing in the sea versus the neatly laid-out kayaks in the foreground made an interesting contrast.

Deserted Beach Huts At Budleigh Salterton

Deserted Beach Huts At Budleigh Salterton
Taken on our journey to the Dorset Coast earlier this year… Beach huts are a common sight on many British beaches. Apparently Victorian in origin, they were apparently a means for royalty to preserve their modesty while they change at the beach on holiday. They certainly present a colourful sight on beaches, although these particular ones were rather dull and gloomy during our visit because of the strong winds and wet weather occurring then.

Skywalkers


For the Star Wars fans amongst you (and in myself), no apologies for the title as the figures not only reminded me of literal sky-walkers but also the giant trees on Endor from Return of the Jedi 😛 This picture was taken from our first foray into Gardens by the Bay, Singapore’s newest attraction. The eleven iconic “Supertrees” dominated most of the pictures I took in my short three-hour visit to the Gardens. Repeat visits are definitely on the cards…
