This image of board surfing was captured along the coast while I was in Fremantle, Western Australia, in 1990. Good vantage point, back-lit lighting conditons, gorgeous colours are the important elements of this picture. The decisive-moment nature of the shot was a challenge to capture, providing visual impact to the final shot.
This was a view captured from Penanjakan lookout point, East Java, in 1992. The volcano that is in middle of the image puffing out a plume of smoke is the famous Mount Bromo. To date, two out of the three volcanos shown in this image are still active. A recent eruption of Mount Bromo in May 2004 killed one little boy (a tourist from Singapore), and injured many others that were visiting the area. At present, the area is temporary closed to tourists until further notice.
This slide won the Best Landscape Award (Photo Travel Section) of the 1993 Golden West International Salon, USA.
From a vantage point, I captured this fisherman having his early morning catch while I was out on a photographic trip in Bali in 1991. One of the characteristics and important elements of photographic art is to capture the spontaneous moment of an action. This is demonstrated precisely in this image. This image was a Medal Winner of the 22nd Hong Kong Camera Club International Salon held in 1992.
