Last Task For The Day

Last Task For The Day
First post of the new year… Obviously, I haven’t had time to go out to take some pictures as yet, so one from 2012 will do for now. We made a short getaway to Western Australia just a month ago. The weather was supposed to be hot but an unusual day of heavy rainfall greeted us when we arrived in the Margaret River area. After a whole day of rain, I was glad that the sun made a dramatic appearance during our evening drive. With little time to spare, I headed towards the beach. I was initially dismayed when I saw the vehicle on the jetty. In the end, the occupants and their activity actually proved to be nice foreground subjects to contrast against the dramatic scene behind them.

The iconic exterior of the Selfridges store at the Bull Ring provided the perfect backdrop to this candid moment I captured on my recent visit to Birmingham. I was thankful for the sunshine that I encountered — not only did it provide lighting for the shot, but it kept me warm in the cold weather then!

Update 27 January 2013 – Thank you for making this picture Noteworthy on photofriday‘s challenge on the theme “Pattern“! 🙂

Out For Class
It has been a while since I visited Changi Village for candid pictures. Keen to test out my new toy (a new full-frame DSLR), I made an early morning trip down for some pictures. The new ferry terminal has removed much of the opportunities for high-angle candid photography and I went away rather frustrated with what I was (or was not) getting. I was on my way back to my car when I came across this group of people at a kayaking lesson by the beach. I thought the juxtaposition of the learners standing in the sea versus the neatly laid-out kayaks in the foreground made an interesting contrast.
