It has become customary for me to post a flower picture almost every Chinese New Year… I am a little late with this year’s post (my parents didn’t buy any photogenic blooms for the New Year this time around :P). Here’s making up with a picture that I took during my visit to Loch Tummel last year. To those who can’t read Chinese, the title means literally to “rise (to greater aspirations) with every step”… In other words, may you reach greater heights in whatever you do in the New Year. 新年快乐！(Happy New Year)

Orange Fizz

Orange Fizz
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.
