Candid, people photography
The same man from my earlier post… If this had been a apple tree, I might have named this “Modern Day Newton” :P. Dad suggested an alternative composition for this one which I will post up later for comparison. I personally like this one for the clean lines and simple composition. The lone figure added an element of human interest.
It has been ages since I went out for a proper photography trip! I wanted to go out early this morning for a shoot but the weather wasn’t too encouraging. By the time the sun decided to show itself, it was almost close to 9am. Even then, lighting was generally soft and undramatic and we decided to call it quits by 12 noon since it was about to pour.
Anyway, we made our way down to the Lower Pierce Reservoir to look for new subjects since we’ve never been there before. As usual, anglers are aplenty (some particular Singaporeans are quite a “fishy” lot! :P). This particular one was so absorbed looking for fish / crabs by the reservoir-side that he completely ignored me even though he was aware that I was taking pictures of him. In fact, the majority of the best pictures I got had him as a human subject of interest. I like this one in particular because of the framing as well as the interesting lines produced by the ripples in the water.
A break from the close-up / nature shots for a change…
These were part of the group of junior college students that came with us on a trip to the Botanical Gardens last Sunday. While some were still busy taking pictures around the area, this group decided to take a break to ask for some pointers from my dad. I took the opportunity to squeeze off a shot of this candid moment 🙂
Note: If you are one of the junior college students who joined the trip, do contact me or my dad if you need to discuss on the pictures you took during the session!
