This is another example of the usage of colour derivation with violet diazochrome film to enhance the visual impact of the original image. Obviously the panel of judges of 6th Como International Salon, Italy (1969), endorsed my creative approach and awarded this slide a Gold Medal at the exhibition!

This was one of the images that I captured during my outing to the Jurong Shipyard in the 70’s. Lighting and colour played important roles in this image. The worker’s action captured precisely at the peak of the moment gives the image its greatest impact. This is one of the medal winners of the 26th Minneapolis St Paul International Salon, USA, held in 1974. This is one of the National Gallery, Singapore, Permanent Collections.
This appears to be a set-up image; in fact, this was captured at a local construction site. I remembered the weather was rather cloudy and the lighting was flat. However, I had the intention of converting the blank sky into a deep, saturated blue with diazo film right even when I took the shot. This is another example that illustrates how an outstanding image can be created from an ordinary scene in daily life.
This image won a silver medal of the 10th CPA International Salon, Hong Kong, held in 1969. This picture was one of the 24 slides that helped me achieve the FRPS distinction in 1970. This is one of the National Gallery, Singapore, Permanent Collections.
