Taken on vacation trips
I had a chance to visit Windermere in the Lake District Area in the UK earlier in July. This was the same place where dad took “First Light At Bowness On Windermere” last year. However, we arrived later this time round and therefore was not able to get the golden light captured in dad’s shot. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the compositional opportunities the place had to offer despite the gloomy weather 🙂
This was taken in Osaka’s Universal Studios right before I took this other shot. Sometimes, pictures of parade spectators can be as interesting (if not more) as those of the participants. Selective background desaturation done here to bring out the main subjects of the shot.
Update – CY has suggested that this shot be called “Freeze” instead — because the action has been frozen, as well as the fact that ice-cream is being enjoyed. What do you think of this alternate title?
Turning my attention from the Lowry, I caught sight of this man bringing his child out for a walk (and taking pictures of him presumably). Seeing a photo-opportunity myself, I took a quick snap of him just as he was about to adjust his son’s jacket. I like the strong pattern and framing formed by the suspension bridge, which I have further enhanced here with a solarization filter.
