This is one of the many images that I captured at Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia in September 2003. Obviously, I was shooting from a vantage point (Pyrmont Bridge, to be precise) for this image. Basically, I believe that the simplicity of an image is essential to achieve good visual impact. This image was of no exception.
Though this was taken from a fish market in Sydney, the water is rather clean and unpolluted. That shows how successful the environment control is over there. Otherwise, I would have not been able to capture this abstract image of colourful reflections in the water. Another image among the many I took during my last visit in September 2003.
The mystery of the desert has always been a favorite subject for landscape photographers. I share with you a picture from the Pinnacles Desert, Western Australia, captured during my second visit to this place in November 2003. A polariser was used here to increase the saturation of the blue sky. This image was taken at 5.00am immediately after sunrise. My son, Eng Loy and I stayed one night in a motel that is within one km from the Pinnacles to captrure this. The beauty and serene mood of the early morning, and gorgeous colors are the essentials to this image. I certainly like the lighting and colours that enhanced the visual impact of the image.
