Climbing Up

Wolverine CAMERA

I have managed to scan some of my old transparencies. The result of the digital copies was much better than I could expect. This one seen here, was my entry in the international salon.
I still remember him as James Lee, the son of the late Henry Lee H M, one of the renowned Singapore photographers. It is a pity, Henry passing one year ago!
Though this image was captured many years ago, I still like the composition and colours of the decisive moment. The back background is a montage of a piece of Orthochromatic film.

Dawn At Tiananmen Square

The popularity of cyclist in our local street reminds me of: in 1978, the Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China, was flooded with cyclists on their morning trip to start a day. I think the air pollutions was from other resources but not from the vehicles. You could hardly come across any private motor vehicles on the street. Though the image was captured 44 years ago on analogue format, the image is still as good as brand new.

Perching On The Tip Of A Dried Branch

My perception of capturing an image of a dragonfly is mainly on the lighting of the subject. The perching position of the nature subject is also an important element of the image. Last but not least, selecting a suitable background is equally essential for the visual impact of the image. Ensuring the subject critically in focus in order to have a sharp final image is the upmost requirement. Orienting all these elements and capture the image from a vantage angle is the end result of freezing the moment permanently. This is an image that I captured at the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 12 June 2021 with Leica Vario-Elmar-R 80-200 mm lens + Leica Apo-Extender-R 2X on SonyA7RIII body (manual focusing).
