Moon Over The Campo dei Miracoli

Moon Over The Campo dei Miracoli
When I came across the day-lit moon at the Campo dei Miracoli during our tour in Italy, I was reminded of some of the beautiful moonrise shots of James Jordan (who has incidentally started a useful and easy-to-read photography-tips blog at “Ready, Aim, Click“). The skies were remarkably blue that morning, creating a nice contrast to the yellow and brown of the ancient buildings. I switched to a long lens to get the buildings close and keep the moon a reasonable size in the frame.

Twilight At The Esplanade

Twilight At The Esplanade
I brought CY to the Esplanade for dinner to celebrate her birthday yesterday evening. We were early for our dinner appointment and decided to explore the roof-top terrace area. Brilliant twilight greeted us. I originally wanted to bring along a tripod but this was not convenient to carry around, not at dinner time especially! Thankfully, I was able to hand-hold the camera steadily enough. The final shot was composited and digitally blended from two different RAW processes of the same file — one for the highlights and one for the shadows. I like the final effect I managed to achieve.

Searching For Vader

Searching For Vader
I made two trips down to Changi International Airport today… first to send off CY and my in-laws on their holiday trip to Hong Kong, then later in the day to send EK off on his trip back to Glasgow, UK. The above was taken at Terminal 2 at Changi with my mobile phone’s little 2-megapixel camera (I did not bring my 20D since I wasn’t expecting photography). The original image has been rotated and flipped. I am almost tempted to add a Darth Vader or Obi-Wan Kenobi in digitally :P. Perhaps George Lucas might be interested to film further Star Wars productions at Changi 😉
