Parked


This parked bicycle was also spotted at the “bird-song” park at Ang Mo Kio and made a good still-life subject with a natural green and clean background. The yellow bird-cage poles in the background help to give a sense of depth and perspective to what would otherwise have ended up as a two-dimensional picture.

Sailing Through Foul Waters


Labrador Park in Singapore is usually a good place to view sunsets over an unusual industrial landscape formed by the oil refineries on the off-shore islands. I encountered cloudy weather on my visit last Saturday though. The unusual cloud cover (the horizon was relatively cloud free and was lit by a halo of light) provided a dramatic, almost monochromatic setting for this scene of a passing boat. In addition to adding a light crimson hue to the sky, I have boosted up the contrast and saturation in Photoshop considerably for dramatic effect in this final shot.
