Absorbed By The Lake

Absorbed By The Lake
It has been ages since I went out for a proper photography trip! I wanted to go out early this morning for a shoot but the weather wasn’t too encouraging. By the time the sun decided to show itself, it was almost close to 9am. Even then, lighting was generally soft and undramatic and we decided to call it quits by 12 noon since it was about to pour.

Anyway, we made our way down to the Lower Pierce Reservoir to look for new subjects since we’ve never been there before. As usual, anglers are aplenty (some particular Singaporeans are quite a “fishy” lot! :P). This particular one was so absorbed looking for fish / crabs by the reservoir-side that he completely ignored me even though he was aware that I was taking pictures of him. In fact, the majority of the best pictures I got had him as a human subject of interest. I like this one in particular because of the framing as well as the interesting lines produced by the ripples in the water.

It’s been work, work and more work since going back to my daily job (after passing my professional exams earlier this month :)). I will have to try squeezing in some time for photography this weekend if possible!

Still another shot from the Botanical Gardens from my last visit! After getting bored with the ducks, the lotus flowers, the lotus leaves and dragonflies, I turned my attention to the koi in the pond. This particular one busied itself peeking out of the pond repeatedly (hoping for someone to feed it perhaps?). I fitted a polarizer on and tried to anticipate where it would go… Frankly, it wasn’t easy to compose the shot since its motions were difficult for me to predict! Think this was the best of the lot I got in the end.
