Looking Within

Looking Within
You might have seen a similar posting on my dad’s photoblog for this picture, which was taken at the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh, UK… That’s hardly surprising as we took the pictures probably just seconds apart. I took the lazier way out though (with my point-and-shoot G10) as I had already kept my 40D in the bag. Hence the difference in aspect ratio (the G10 is 4:3 whereas my dad’s Nikon D700 is 3:2). I think my dad’s DSLR version probably has better detail and colour rendition if seen full-size although I must admit that the results I got from the G10 weren’t too shabby either! 🙂

Waiting To Dine

Waiting To Dine
This was taken while we were waiting for dinner to be served at Hard Rock Cafe, Edinburgh. The beads of condensation on my glass of water and the laid-out cutlery formed interesting reflection patterns on the glossy surface of the dining table. The handy G10 came in useful for this particular picture — all I had to do was to lay it on the table with the self-timer set, and shoot… all without having to use a tripod 🙂

Barcoded Steps

Barcoded Steps
The morning sunlight cast against these steps leading to The Lowry in Manchester created interesting patterns of light and shadow, creating an almost abstract picture when taken up close. Photography is in essence, painting with light (and shadow) and this picture exemplifies this concept.

Talking about light and shadow, my father will be exhibiting close to 400 photographs in a solo exhibition that chronicles his involvement with photography for the past 50 years. If you are in Singapore, the exhibition might well worth a visit! More details at https://www.lite-n-shadow.com
