Strolling By The Beach

Strolling By The Beach
I revisited Changi Jetty early yesterday morning again. At CY’s comment that my pictures taken there were getting boring with the same repetitive subjects, I trained my camera elsewhere. Initially, only the lone figure sat on the bench in this silhouette scene. As the morning progressed, more activities began to take place around. I was lucky to catch the lady with the pram walking in step with her partner, who was carrying the child in his arms. To fill up the blank void towards the right, I have additionally composited the extra figures on the right of the frame. The original shot was mostly monochromatic in nature. I have converted it to full monochrome with a sepia tint added in for the final output.

This was taken during my honeymoon trip to Jungfraujoch, Switzerland, last year…

On a different note, I have upgraded my PC to Windows Vista Ultimate. Some things do work differently on the new OS, not all of which are exactly helpful: I had to update many of my old programs to ensure compatibility and there are some issues with colour calibration with the new OS. Thankfully, Photoshop and CaptureONE seem to work fine so far with no issues.

Something semi-abstract from my recent short holiday trip to Ipoh, Malaysia…

This was taken at the Taiping lake during the day-trip we took out of Ipoh. With only a 24-105mm lens, this was as close as I could have gotten for this shot. I have tried to make use of the dividing lines between light and dark to create a zig-zag pattern throughout the picture.
