Slow-shutter pictures with motion-blurring effect
A more typical view of the Esplanade but with a slightly different touch! Taken at dusk, a long 13 second exposure gave brilliant saturated blues to the skies. Notice the streaks of light and white blobs on the water? What do you think these are?
Exposure information: Camera – Canon Powershot G3, ISO 50, 35mm effective FL – 39mm, Shutter – 13 seconds, Aperture – f/2.8, Metering Mode: Pattern, Flash – Off
I have always loved the high angles and refreshing perspective that I can inject into my pictures taken at the Tekka Market in Singapore. When rain decided to make a bad day for outdoor photography in my recent outing, I decided to head back once again to Tekka Market for some indoor shots. Adopting a slightly different approach this time, I used a long exposure to capture the movement of the bustling crowd. The above is a result of a montage of two pictures and some post-processing work done in Photoshop. Hope you can make out the chick(en)s on sale at this picture size.
Thanks to dearest CY for brainstorming on the picture title! 🙂
Another image from the archives that will be making its way to Romania for an invitational exhibition…

I was about to pack my bags up for the night after an uneventful shoot when I chanced upon this old man lying on his trishaw opposite the Raffles Hotel. It was a wonder that he was able to sleep so peacefully along the busy street with cars whizzing by and pedestrians crossing the road! Taken on a tripod with a 15 second exposure to create the impression of an oasis of quiet and peace amidst a sea of chaos.
