Having A Splashing Good Time

Having A Splashing Good Time
If there’s anything I’ve learnt about photography during theme park parades on at least two of my previous holidays, concentrating on the audience action can sometimes be more rewarding than concentrating on the parade itself. The above shot was taken during the Mickey’s Waterworks Parade on my visit to Hong Kong Disneyland recently. We were in the “wet-zone” of the parade itself. While CY and me hid under an umbrella to prevent getting splashed, I managed to sneak in a shot of the people seated opposite me having an equally splashing good time 😛

Reflecting Within The Christchurch Town Hall

Reflecting Within The Christchurch Town Hall
During our last couple of days at Christchurch, New Zealand, we spent out time relaxing and took a cruise on the Avon River. Stopping at the Town Hall for a toilet-break, I caught the nice reflections within the building complex. It was Citizenship Day apparently, with a lot of immigrants getting their citizenship certificates presented to them. This accounted for a fair amount of human traffic within this hallway. I thought the particular group that passed through made a colourful addition to the scene.

Balloons for Sale

Balloons for Sale
This colourful balloon peddler caught my eye amongst the cacophony of the traffic in Ho Chi Minh City. Between watching the traffic and strolling along the street, I managed to catch the peddler taking a break and sitting down by the roadside. The lighting then wasn’t exactly fantastic — I thought the colours of the balloons made up for that, though, especially after post-processing with selective desaturation.
