On The Way To Maintain

I have been observing the different height of tress at this location of Upper Peirce Reservoir.
Simply, I love the composition of the tress from my vantage angle. To date, expecting a colourful sky as a backdrop of the image has never happened. The soft lighting from the overcast sky on 17 Aug 2021, has not deterred me to capture this image in monochrome mode. Most important, the maintaining vehicle came into the right position to add interest to the image. Besides capturing the moment within a split of a second, I love the richness of the tonal range of the final monochromatic image.

All Standing Still

Since I gained the ARPS in 1964, my passion of B&W pictorial photography (now known as visual art) has not died off. This is one of my new addition captured on 07 July 2021 at the Lower Seletar Reservoir. The soft lighting condition of cloudy weather did not deter me from capturing this image in monochrome format. My perception of tonal range still very strong. This is one of the important principles when doing monochrome photography.

A Free Flow Art Of Ink

The silhouette of the trees reflection in the water against a lighter area impressed me with a creative idea of having an illusion image. I oriented my personal observation and capturing the movement of the reflections. To me, the end result of the monochromatic image thus captured is similar to the art of ink in Chinese painting . I think if you are an impressionist most probably you enjoying seeing this image. I captured this image at the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 08 June 2021.
