The Esplanade Before Dusk

Australians love their Sydney Opera House… Singaporeans love their Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. I think this classical night scene of the Esplanade had become a must-visit for many Singaporeans (and tourists alike) with digital cameras. I should know… This is my third visit with there with a another new digital camera!

This particular one was taken at a slightly earlier time compared to the others. As usual, a passing bumboat (loaded with tourists) provided the “special-effect” streak across the foreground. The lone flash light from someone onboard the boat provided an interesting sparkle of light.

Exposure information: Canon EOS 20D, Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, Shutter – 8 seconds, Aperture – f/11.0, ISO 100, Exposure Mode – Manual, Metering Mode – Evaluative, Captured in RAW and processed with CaptureONE 3.6 LE

At Work (On The Bank Of China)


People at work are favourite photographic subjects for me. In fact, I have got a series of pictures titled “At Work” among the many that I have took since I embarked on digital photography. Hence, I was glad to have the opportunity to add another “At Work” piece to my collection when I first arrived in Hong Kong for vacation just a few days past. On our way to the Peak Tram station on Hong Kong Island, we came across these workmen on gondolas cleaning up the Bank Of China building in the Central District. I was attracted by the clean, simple lines of the composition and took this shot.
