Cloud Suspension Over Lake Pukaki

Cloud Suspension Over Lake Pukaki 01
I am back to New Zealand after a gap of thirteen years! I spent 11 days for a fantastic outing with my family. Though the weather was rainy for the first few days, self-driven in a Full-Size, 4-5 Door, Automatic, Ford XR6 for 2400+ km, Eng Loy and I had a wonderful photographic outing at some of the scenic places in the southern island.

I didn’t manipulate the above image with Liquify Filter. But was just one of the fantastic scenes taken on our way to Mount Cook.
You will expect more to come on this site.

Note:On 16th Feb 2012, I donated the original print (36″x24″ printed on Kodak Metallic Paper,limited edition) to St Joseph’s Institution International School. At the inaugural Photography Competition and Photo Auction, Col (NS) Yun Ta chun successfully acquired the print for S$2500/- in donation to the SJII’s Scholarship Fund.

Expedition to Mount Cook

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.
