Riding Home

Lip SengOctober 16, 2004

The colourful young riders of a polo club provided me with good interesting subjects for this image. The dry tree on the right framed the image nicely and created a good sense of depth. The saturated blue of the sky (achieved by colour derivation with diazochrome film — this was done pre-Photoshop days!) further enhanced the visual impact of the slide. This was a fast changing scene that needed quick reflexes to capture the image right on the dot. The slide won a Bronze Medal at the 22nd Los Angeles International Salon, USA, held in 1978.

Red Hat

This is a montage of three films. A piece of high contrast ortho-film for the image of the frame, a orange diazochrome film and the original image of the worker, all mounted on top of each other to create this contemporary effect. This creation won the Best Contemporary Gold Medal of the 18th Wichita International Salon, USA, held in 1975.

Two Workers

This is another example of the usage of colour derivation with violet diazochrome film to enhance the visual impact of the original image. Obviously the panel of judges of 6th Como International Salon, Italy (1969), endorsed my creative approach and awarded this slide a Gold Medal at the exhibition! This is one of the National Gallery, Singapore, Permanent Collections.
