Creative photography on family trips can be tricky time-wise. One way around this is to sacrifice sleep by waking extra early and that is what I did exactly for this shot. Braving the colder morning, I explored the quiet stretch of the Tamar River just outside our hotel in Launceston, Tasmania. The moody mist-filled river banks provided the perfect setting for a short session of morning photography.
From the last day of the Sakura display at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore. Getting a good and unique picture of these tiny little flowers is never easy. I experimented using a close-up macro lens and deliberately overexposed the image for a high-key effect.
I walked past the State Library Victoria in Melbourne during my trip to Australia in December last year after missing the last free tram of the day. Struck by the dramatic evening lighting cast on the building exteriors, I did a web search and found that the La Trobe Reading Room within offers good photographic opportunities. We decided to make our way back and entered the library one morning. In the searing heat of summer, having the opportunity to take some candid photos in air-conditioned comfort (and in excellent photographic setting) was an additional bonus!
