On 17 08 2019, I was at the Gardens By The Bay to capture the firework. I remember a slow shutter speed was set on my camera. With a slight movement of the camera, the final image that I captured turned up to become a painting of light. My concept was to alter reality into am illusion of colour. To me, creativity has no border. It is up to you to realize your conception into an image with greater visual impact.
The famous Fuzhou umbrellas were discoloured during my visit on 12 Oct 2017 at Yi Jin Fang, Fuzhoou, Fujiang, China. My application of photoshop brought back the brilliant colours of the umbrellas. The added saturated blue sky increased the visual impact for the whole image. My concept is an artistic creation of turning an ordinary image into a contemporary effect . This is my way of altering reality of an image into an extraordinary impact.
During the years of sixties, my favourite of montaging a blue Diazo chrome film on the original image of the colour transparency to create a bas relief effect was the fruitful result of hard work. At present, a click of mouse with proper application of Photoshop, such an effect could be achieved without tears. Perhaps , if such high techs was available in those days, my passion of photography may not be so challenging. Most importantly, the perception and concept of capturing an outstanding image remains as individual. To me, capturing and freezing an image within a split of a second is still the upmost important requirement in photography. I captured this image in Shantou, China on 15 Oct. 2016.
