Ready For Take Off

Ready For Take Off
Having some free time while on vacation leave, I decided to venture out for some photography this morning. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t the best for shooting pictures. I ended up wandering over to the Changi International Airport for a look-see. I remember drawing pictures of the control tower as a kid when the airport first opened in 1981. Now, 27 years later, here I am taking pictures of the control tower from Terminal 3, which opened earlier this year. The gloomy weather today made up for my lack of lighting for photography by providing a dark backdrop for this particular photo. I like the inter-play between the different colours in the final shot 😀

Spikes Of The Durian

Spikes Of The Durian
The Esplanade – Theatres On The Bay, also known affectionately by Singaporeans as “The Durian”, has a special meaning in the hearts of Singaporean photographers. I myself have taken many pictures of the place on repeated visits. On my last visit in January earlier this year, the warm glow of the morning sun bathed the theatre buildings in golden splendour. This is an almost abstract, closer look at the “spike”-details that I caught.

Glowing At The Lowry

Glowing At The Lowry
I first learnt about The Lowry (at Salford Quays in Manchester, UK) from Photography Monthly last year. When I finally got there on my visit to the UK last July, luck was in store for me photographically since the skies were nice and blue with the sun blazing (only momentarily though!). The most recent issue of the magazine has featured yet another picture from the area. This prompted a revisit to the pictures I took in the area last year which I have yet to post so far 🙂 I found this particular one unusual: although a close up that is seemingly flat in perspective, I found that the myraid of interesting textures contributed by the various buildings still helped to make the picture interesting.
