Fizzy Moments
Part of my earlier orange fizz experiment… This is a horizontal version concentrating more on the bubbles from sparkling water instead of the orange slice. Which one do you like better?

This was taken back in April at Changi Jetty in Singapore. When I captured the shot, my thoughts were on how beat-up the boat looked. However, I was not too happy with the effect I achieved in post-processing — the feeling of weariness somehow did not managed to be conveyed. Recently, I have been experimenting with a Photoshop action I found on the net called Urban Acid. I think the filter pretty much helped me to achieve the original vision I had in my mind when I took the shot.
The idea for this came from a photography magazine I read sometime back. Having a bit of spare time today on a public holiday (and with no where to go due to the recent spate of rainy weather in Singapore), I set this scene up in my balcony using a glass of sparkling water, a slice of orange as well as some blue construction paper. The final saturation and contrast has been boosted up by a fair bit to get the punchy results I wanted.
