Nature
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.
Updates for the next 3 weeks or so will be a little slow as I am now busy preparing for a career-related exam. Do bear with me for the time being!
The above was taken quite a while ago at the Botanical Gardens in Singapore. I chanced upon it while selecting pictures for an upcoming public exhibition (more on that later if I get selected ;)). I like the deep green of the pond which was achieved using a polarizing filter. Kudos to dearest CY again for the title inspiration 🙂
It has been become customary for my parents to shop for flowers to decorate the house for Chinese New Year… and for me to take pictures of them for posterity 🙂 This time round, we bought hyacinths. I came home from work on the first day of the New Year to find my dad sitting out in the yard taking pictures of these flowers. Joining him for a short while (before I took a much-needed nap), I took the above picture with the aid of a reflector and a piece of black card.
