ARPS #5 – Spikes

Lest you think that all the pictures in my ARPS panel are nature/floral pics…

This was taken at the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, which by now should be a familiar icon to all Singaporeans. A shot with some difference though compared to most waterfront shots of the Esplanade flooding the Internet. I took this at the foot of the Esplanade building using the natural spike-like patterns of the palm leaves to contrast with the man-made spikes of the Esplanade. The unusual angle was of no problem since I was able to compose easily thanks to the flip-out-and-twist LCD screen of my Powershot G3.

At Work On The Hospital

Updates to my photoblog will be a little slow for the next few months since I will have lesser time for updates due to my upcoming post-graduate examinations…

A picture from the past archives…

As part of the 80th anniversary celebrations of the hospital that I work at, photographs depicting hospital staff at work (from technicians, maintenance, to health care workers) will be put up at a commemorative exhibition. I went around the hospital looking for pictures to take (when as luck would have it) I came across this scene of cleaners at work on the exterior of the hospital building. I like the contrast of the human activity against the patterned backdrop of the hospital building windows.

NB: I no longer working at this hospital currently and the above-mentioned exhibition has already taken place.

Above The Concrete Jungle


Apologies for the lack of updates to my photoblog… I have been away for a short break in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The hot and hazy weather did not promise too much photographic opportunities during my trip. To reduce baggage, I brought what I thought was a bare minimum set-up in the form of my 20D, two lenses (covering a focal length of 18-135mm) and a small tripod. This particular aerial view of the city was taken from the Menara / KL Tower through glass on a blazingly hot day. The particular hotel I was staying at is just partially hidden behind the AXA office building.
