Nature
From the Botanical Gardens… on a rather lacklustre day for photography. Some heavy post-processing done in Lightroom 3 to bring out the colours. I am quite happy with the sharpness on the dragonfly I managed to get with Live View manual-focusing on a tripod.
Taken at the Botanical Gardens. Conventionally, I would have opted for a vertical composition for this but there were some distracting elements surround this shot (and the dragonfly wasn’t going to wait forever for me to adjust my composition!). In the end, I opted for a bolder use of negative space to the right of the subject.
My next post will be at least 10 days from now… will be on vacation again. Hoping to bring you some new pictures when I get back!
I have always held a fascination for the classic Pac-Man arcade game since childhood. The game celebrated its 30th anniversary a couple of weeks ago, with Google coming up with an ingenious version which you can still play (for free) here. The lotus and water lily leaves at the Singapore Botanical Gardens has reminded me time and again of the game. The above is another shot whose title I have dedicated to the long-lived classic 🙂
