Candid, people photography

“Smile! You’re On Camera!”


A slight variation on my previous post… this time with my dear wife adding a touch of human interest to the shot. I have been trying to interest her in taking pictures so that she wouldn’t be bored sitting around when we go out on photographic trips. Getting her a P&S camera (the Canon Powershot A510) for her birthday was a start. Now to get her to use it more often… 😛

The Little Water Guru


Taken at the Bugis Junction fountain featured in the previous shot, this boy was also having fun with the water. At one moment in time, he decided to play-act as a master/guru of the waters. He sat on his knees in a meditative pose and pretended to raise the waters with his mind power, oblivious to this photographer who was busy snapping pictures of him 😛

“Don’t you think we’re drenched enough?”

Finally, a new picture in quite some months!

Given the hot weather here in Singapore, the outdoor fountain at Bugis Junction has always been a welcome place among children for great cooling fun, and especially so this week since it is school vacation time. I have always wanted to take pictures of children enjoying themselves there but have never really gotten the time to go down to do so… till yesterday. This is the first of a series of shots I took.

Exposure information: Canon 20D with Sigma 70-200mm f/4-5.6 APO II Super Macro lens, Aperture – f/8.0, Shutter – 1/60s, ISO – 200, Aperture Priority Mode, Flash – off
