Candid, people photography
This was taken in Osaka’s Universal Studios right before I took this other shot. Sometimes, pictures of parade spectators can be as interesting (if not more) as those of the participants. Selective background desaturation done here to bring out the main subjects of the shot.
Update – CY has suggested that this shot be called “Freeze” instead — because the action has been frozen, as well as the fact that ice-cream is being enjoyed. What do you think of this alternate title?
It has been a while since I posted a Singaporean street scene 🙂
When CY had an appointment in town yesterday, I took the opportunity to wander around and take some pictures around the Singapore River area. Just when I was wrapped up with my shoot, I came across this scene of a lorry driver stopping by the roadside to make a phone call. I was amused by the irony of the scene since he seemed to be asking directions on a one-way street. I do wish that he had a more brightly-coloured vehicle though. In any case, I did a Photoshop-added, zany-coloured treatment for the fun of it although both Mum and CY thought that I over-did it a little 😛
This child was collecting confetti for fun with some of his friends after a parade at Universal Studios, Japan in Osaka. I was seated across the street on a bench resting my feet when I caught sight of him. The dramatic and brilliant side-lighting highlighted his actions perfectly, providing me with a natural spotlight to capture this shot.
