I came across this on this morning’s visit to the open-house at the Istana. The Istana is the official residence of the President of the Republic of Singapore. The weather was characteristically hot for this time of the year. I like the high-key feel and the rich greenish hues juxtaposed with the details in the backlit silhouettes of the tree branches.
Scorching hot weather in Singapore made a visit to the newly-opened Bird Paradise very uncomfortable over the Good Friday weekend! I was lucky to find a spot later in the afternoon where the flamingoes contrasted nicely with nice dark waters and spent some moments getting the right shot.
It has been a while since I updated this photoblog! Most of my photography experiments over the past year have been with family portraits using strobes which for privacy reasons, I will not be sharing here. Nevertheless, I have been continuing to take other pictures, frequently using the camera that I have handy with me, which will invariably turn out to be my mobile phone. The above is one of these shots I caught right after a evening storm, just before the sun was about to set.
