It was in Vietnam first time seeing the riders were well protected traveling on a bike. I hope this practice will be a common scene not only on the road but also in the daily life of Vietnamese. This is another candid shot that I captured in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, July 2018. Since the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, as a matter of facts, wearing a mask has been a daily practice for the people of whole world.
It was a cloudy weather forecast on 05 July 2021 at Lower Seletar Reservoir. My perception of the landscape was attracted by the awesome cloudy formation. I was fortunate to have a solid stone table to stand on and raised my vantage angle in order to achieve a better perspective for the image. Most importantly, the orientation of using the gigantic tree to frame the pleasing landscape image followed. Waited for a moment only when the lighting was perfect on the scene before the final image was captured.
Since I gained the ARPS in 1964, my passion of B&W pictorial photography (now known as visual art) has not died off. This is one of my new addition captured on 07 July 2021 at the Lower Seletar Reservoir. The soft lighting condition of cloudy weather did not deter me from capturing this image in monochrome format. My perception of tonal range still very strong. This is one of the important principles when doing monochrome photography.
