Pelican Gossip

November 22, 2004

Australia remains as one of my favourite holiday destinations for photography… My visit to both Sydney/New South Wales and Perth/Western Australia last year were fruitful photographic trips. The above picture of pelicans preening their feathers by the harbour was taken at Kiama, south of Sydney. Waking about at about 5.30am in the morning, we encoutered a large flock of pelicans perched by the waterside grooming their feathers. Taking cautious steps towards them, we were pleasantly surprised that they ignored us totally as we snapped picture after picture of them, squawking away in their own chattery gossip.

The Dummies And The Blonde

November 15, 2004

My first visit to Perth, Western Australia was just over one year ago in 2003. I was there first for a work-related conference. Staying back after the conference for a vacation, I was joined by my dad. While exploring the streets of Perth, we chanced upon this candid moment of a sales assistant enjoying the sun outside her shop, right across the street. We were struck by the wonderful lighting as well as the wry humour of the situation. Making a quick grab of my camera, I was fortunate enough to capture this shot right before the girl realised that a candid photo of her was being taken.

Fun Within The Spirals

November 2, 2004

The above picture was taken during the same session as About The Curves at Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia. I entered this shot for the monthly member’s competition of the Digital Imaging Group of RPS in October and came in third place overall. I like the spiral patterns of the fountain spiced up by the touch of human activity in the two children at play.
