Expedition to Mount Cook

Lip Seng

An assignment with the New Zealand Tourism Board in 1994 gave me an opportunity to capture images of this beautiful country. Making a trip to Mount Cook depends very much on the weather conditions. This was taken one day prior my actual visit… This is the kind of plane that you would take to reach Mount Cook. Obviously, I was shooting from another plane right across. The weather was bad, the lighting was rather soft but I like the moody atmosphere. It was really an exciting experience especially for my first impressions of this enchanting land.

Fishing at the Jetty

Share with you an image that I captured during my visit to the Barrack Square, Perth in November 2003… The sign at the jetty clearly states that no fishing is allowed. These youngsters were either ignorant or too anxious to catch fishes and forgot all about their safety. Luckily, they were there for only a short while. This is an exception to the “no-overhead-lighting”; the lighting provides good relief to the subject.

Clear All the Way

The International Fountain in Seattle is a good location for photographing people, especially children at play. This was taken during my first visit in 1999. The image presented here is the result of manipulation with Photoshop. The colour print of this image is still circulating world-wide for the “Best of International Representative of PSA” exhibition.
