We took a short little hike through the Southern Ridges in Singapore today, starting from the Hort Park. I was expecting to do some macro photography and brought along my macro lens and tripod. Ultimately, I relied more on the longer reach of my 70-200mm lens. As for the tripod, I had to abandon it and use the surrounding railings for support since the metal bridges of the Forest Walk we were on magnified the tremors from the footsteps of every passer-by, making the use of the tripod pointless. I am happy to have gotten some decently sharp pictures in the end!

This busker was right in the midst of his performance at the Darling Harbour in Sydney, Australia, when we visited the area earlier in November last year. He spotted me as I was trying to get a shot of him performing in front of his audience and gamely struck a pose, much to the amusement of the children in the audience. I have post-processed the shot in Photoshop to bring attention to his pose as well as his brightly-dressed audience.
