Landscape Pictures
Some greenery to refresh my tired eyes…
The Kapok trees at the Botanical Gardens in Singapore has always served as great photographic subjects. One of my more recent pictures of these great trees have been selected and will be exhibited at the upcoming Ngee Ann Photographic Exhibition 2006. This particular one was taken way back in 2003 with my old Powershot G3. I like the contrast not only in terms of the lighting, but also the contrast of young against old in the subjects.
Digging deep into the archives as I update this photoblog sporadically till I finish my exams (in 17 days’ time!)…
This is a wider view of the “face-rock” (seagull’s nest included) featured in my previous post. I had some trouble recalling the name of the place after visiting it in 2003. Dad had told me that it was called Two Rocks but a search on Google in the past found no information on this landmark except descriptions of a region in Western Australia of the same name. I wasn’t fully convinced of the Two Rocks name till I finally found confirmation here.
The recent images by pfong on Western Australia brought back memories of my 2003 trip there…
Farmscapes of hay fields are common for many living in big countries with temperate weather, but are impossible sights in hot and humid Singapore. I have always dreamt of taking pictures of these hay fields especially after seeing the works of others on the Net. This dream was finally answered during my visit to Western Australia in November 2003. Actually, I didn’t really go out in search for such a scene, but just happened to chance upon it while driving through the rural suburbs with my dad. We just had to stop the car and take some pictures! This was taken by the road-side next to an Australian farm.
