Amongst Hairy Companions
A different viewpoint of the same cacti display I took at the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow, UK. I like the details of this shot so much that I have set this as my Windows wallpaper graphic for now 🙂

Taken on vacation trips
“Cruise Loch Lomond”
How can a visit to Scotland go without a trip to the famed scenic Lochs? During my visit last month, we paid a various viewpoints along scenic Loch Lomond. Stopping at Tarbet after lunch, I was impressed by the still waters contrasting with the brightly lit cruise ferries. I have metered this shot using the bright white areas of the ferries to achieve a nice colour and lighting contrast in the final shot.
Dark Skies Ahead
The conference I attended in the UK last month took place at the London ExCeL. This place reminded me of the Singapore Expo convention and exhibition centre. The UK was experiencing one of its worst summer weather-wise. The temperamental weather did gave opportunities for dramatic lighting and skies though. I snapped this at the Custom House DLR station on my way to my hotel located just opposite the conference venue.
