Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope
After a short reprieve from the rainy weather last week, the rain-gods are at it again — it has been raining continuously again for the last 24 hours.

Getting home after a tough day at work, I decided to try out a little indoor abstract photography. Noticing the beads of rain water on my bathroom window pane, I tried a close-up shot on them. Using a wide aperture setting, I threw the streetlights in the background into nice blurry circles. The whitish circle of light came from the passing headlamps of a car in the distance.

Thanks to darling CY for the succinct title for the shot! While not quite truly a kaleidoscope by definition, I think the title is appropriate in describing the colourful patterns and details captured.

Foraging

I went out this morning for some photography at the Botanical Gardens with my father. Part of the trip was about testing out my new 24-105mm lens. Ironically, my most favourite shot of the day came instead from my trusty 70-200mm. I like the colours, the backlighting as well as the framing of the shot. The foraging ant brought some action and life into the picture.
