Distinctive Architectural Design

Lip Seng

It is interesting to know that the architectural design of the Sydney Opera House, NSW, Australia was inspired from slices of oranges and not (as commonly thought), on sails. One of the images that I captured during my visit in September 2003, was a long tele shot (250 mm Telyt lens on Leicaflex SL) of this distinctive design. The evening light has provided me with a nice touch of orange glow for this fabulous place. The darkened cloud-patterned sky in contrast, enhanced the image with even greater visual impact.

Waves of Cottesloe Beach

Cottesloe Beach, Western Australia was selected as the Best Beach of the Year for 2003. The attractions there, are more than just sand beach and waves. As a matter of fact, this place has lots of photographic potential if you happen to be a photographer! During my visit in November 2003, I was attracted by the strong waves from the sea. Will feature more images of this beach on this web later.

Light House of Cape Leeuwin

The flowers were blooming when I revisited (last visit 1989) the light house of Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia in last November. Using the polarizer, I was able to darken the sky to a saturated blue that gave the image a much stronger visual impact. The gorgeous colors of the flowers are added bonus to this well lit light house of Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia.
