Taken on vacation trips
Taken in Langham Place Shopping Mall in Mongkok, Hong Kong… One of my favourite angles for photography in crowded places is to adopt a top-down, bird’s-eye view. This angle not only gives an unusual perspective of things but also helps to de-clutter the background. Unpredictable crowd behaviour and a slow shutter speed add to the ingredients of an interesting, unconventional shot!
Durdle Door on the Dorset Coast was a place that I wanted to photograph before I left the UK for home. I wasn’t too hopeful about the weather then as strong winds, rain and floods along the south coast of the UK made travel tricky. Thankfully, the weather cleared up when we finally arrived at Durdle Door. Dad has a similar version of this shot with a different colour balance due to our different cameras and processing.
This picture was taken near the Valley of Rocks on the north Devon coast. The title in Chinese means literally “Thinking of eating trodden grass” which is a play on the Chinese idiom “好马不吃回头草”. The idiom literally means “A good horse does not look back to eat grass” which can be translated to mean that a smart person does not dwell on past actions.
