Fleeting moments frozen in time
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?
Turning my attention from the Lowry, I caught sight of this man bringing his child out for a walk (and taking pictures of him presumably). Seeing a photo-opportunity myself, I took a quick snap of him just as he was about to adjust his son’s jacket. I like the strong pattern and framing formed by the suspension bridge, which I have further enhanced here with a solarization filter.
I conducted a mini photography workshop last Saturday at the Botanical Gardens for a group of amputee patients as part of a series of art activities organised by the SGH Arts for Health programme. In between, I caught some pictures at the Symphony Lake. The lighting that day wasn’t exactly great (I’d have liked if I could have started earlier during the “golden hours”). In the end, I did manage to catch a couple of pictures I was happy with.
