Rays of Dawn

Here’s an image taken a year ago from my trip to New South Wales, Australia last year. This sunrise scene was taken at Nobby’s Beach at Newcastle. I have fond memories of waking up really early (between 4-5am on most days) with my dad to catch early morning scenes such as this. The sacrifice in sleep was well worth the nice images I captured!

In A World Of Their Own

I was looking through some old pictures that I took in the earlier part of the year and came across this photo that I took during a Hari Raya Haji prayer session held at the Yio Chu Kang Stadium in Singapore in February.

The Malay children are always interesting to watch during such prayer sessions — many entertain themselves while the adults are busy deep in prayer. Here are two of them seemingly in a world of their own while the rest of the adults are engrossed with prayer. Selective masking and processing has been performed in Photoshop to bring attention to the two children.
