Landscape Pictures
A postcard from the UK where I’m currently touring before flying back to Singapore in two days’ time… We had brilliant weather over the weekend, especially when we came to Buttermere in Lake District in Cumbria. The views we had easily rival those that we got from our tour to New Zealand last year. Dad told me that I’m lucky, because this was the best view he had ever gotten out of 4 visits to the area 🙂
Greetings from the UK! Taking an opportunity to squeeze in some photography before my work-related course commencing on Wednesday, we visited Queen’s View where we caught this yacht cruising along Loch Tummel. I like the simplicity of the final composition I managed to achieve.
One of the satisfactions that I get from photography is when I am successful in making the seemingly mundane look interesting. I am glad to come across this essay on the web today which shares a similar opinion. The idea of creating something interesting from the mundane was also what I had in mind when I captured this shot almost 2 years ago during my trip to Switzerland. Hope that I’m successful here 😛 The ice must have been frozen for ages on the Alps. The thought of actually seeing water that has been frozen for what might have been millennia was certainly mind-boggling.
