Moon Rise at Mount Cook

Lip SengNovember 7, 2004

One of the images that I took during my first trip to New Zealand in 1994 was “Moonrise at Mount Cook”. I was commissioned then by the New Zealand Tourism Board to shoot images for the “1994 NATAS Fair” in Singapore. When I reached the hotel after a hard day’s work, I was attracted by this refreshing landscape scene of Mount Cook. The setting sun gave just a touch of light to the tip of the mountain. At the same time, the half moon was surprisingly visible in the sky too. The mood and colours of the image is what I like best about it. You really have to be at the right place at the right time to catch such scenery.

Bromo Village at Dawn

The early hours of the day are always regarded as the golden hours for mood photography. This landscape of a village near Mount Bromo, East Java is illustrative as an example. I captured my first impressions of the misty mood and atmosphere of a village near Mount Bromo in 1980. The smoke from the lit cigarette of the rider added interest to the whole image. This image won a Gold Medal at the 25th Maitland International Salon, Australia held in 1982..

Terrace Field of Belimbing

A typical scene of a terrace rice field captured in Bali while the farmers were busy at work. The main important elements of the image are the composition, colour, curves and lines. The early morning lighting added the sparkle to the shot. This image was awarded Honourable Mention of the PSA International Salon held in Atlanta, 1993.
