Landscape Pictures
How can I tell that the dreaded seasonal haze (caused by man-made “agricultural” fires in neighbouring Indonesia) has returned? Answer: When the sun starts looking like a big orange egg-yolk even at such a distance above the horizon. Taken at the Merlion Park overlooking the Singapore Flyer.
The words “Light” & “Shadow will be commonly heard on this website for this coming one-and-a-half months as my father gears up for his solo photographic exhibition. Titled “Painting With Light & Shadow: A 50-year Chronicle”, the exhibition will showcase nearly 400 of his works from over half a century of love with photography. Do take a look at the exhibition preview website at www.lite-n-shadow.com for a sample of some of the images that will be exhibited!
About the photo: This was taken at Derwent Water soon after this shot as the sun started to set over Keswick. I like the simple lines, silhouettes and interplay between light & shadow that formed the basic elements of the shot.
We arrived in Keswick after lunch on our recent trip to the UK in April. After checking into our accomodation, we headed straight for Derwent Water. Parking our car, we were walking towards the lake side when the sun blazed strongly over this field of sheep. Despite the sunshine, the wind was quite strong and chilly actually. This is my version of this shot which my father posted up earlier.
