Looking Within

Looking Within
You might have seen a similar posting on my dad’s photoblog for this picture, which was taken at the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh, UK… That’s hardly surprising as we took the pictures probably just seconds apart. I took the lazier way out though (with my point-and-shoot G10) as I had already kept my 40D in the bag. Hence the difference in aspect ratio (the G10 is 4:3 whereas my dad’s Nikon D700 is 3:2). I think my dad’s DSLR version probably has better detail and colour rendition if seen full-size although I must admit that the results I got from the G10 weren’t too shabby either! 🙂

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.
