Barricades

March 22, 2005

An image from the archives… Making the mundane/routine look unusual is one of the joys I find with photography. The above shot of lines and patterns was taken at a jetty by Sembawang Park in Singapore in 2003. I love the strong lines of the jetty contrasting with the patterns of the barricades and their shadows, lit dramatically by the strong morning sun.

None Of My Business

March 12, 2005

Being able to capture the humour of the situation is the fun of candid photography sometimes. This shot of an ibis standing on one leg (minding its own business by sleeping!) as the crowd of people gathered away from it was caught at Darling Harbour, Sydney, in September 2003.

Where have all the beach-goers gone?

March 1, 2005

A couple of months ago, I came across this news item on a proposed ban on photography on the famous Bondi Beach in Australia. I wonder what the outcome of the proposed ban has become. According to this article, sensible parents will not support the ban. Personally, I think the ban, if enforced, will mean a great loss to photographers as the Beach provides an abundance of good photographic opportunities. I was fortunate to be able to enjoy taking great pictures there on my visit in 2003. It’s just a pity that I didn’t have a good DSLR with me then!
