This post is inspired by the wonderful series on lighthouses by my former guestblogger, James Jordan at Points Of Light.
The lighthouse at Cape Leeuwin, Augusta, Western Australia, is situated on the most south-westerly tip of Australia where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet. This famous landmark is over 100 years old and remains an important working lightstation. I had the opportunity to visit during my trip to Western Australia in November 2003.
The second last picture from my ARPS Panel…
The amount of activity at the Tekka Market, Singapore never fails to surprise me. I caught this picture during one of my very first visits to the market in 2003. The balcony overlooking the main market area provided me with a refreshing overhead angle with which I captured the activity of this busy seafood stall. To emphasize the layout of the stallholder and her customers further, I have applied selective masking and desaturation to the rest of the peripheral elements of the shot.
By the way, I have submitted one of my earlier posts, “Elation” for the photo challenge at Photo Friday. This week’s theme is “Success”. Do vote for me if you like the shot 🙂
Another long exposure effort… This particular picture was taken together with the previous one outside the ba kwa store in Chinatown. I had a hard time thinking of a title for this one. Luckily, CY came to the rescue once again with a short, but succinct title 😉
One of the alternatives we came out with was “1:3”, which can mean either: 1) One handphone to three persons, 2) One Coca-Cola to three or, 3) One umbrella for three people :P. I decided to stick with “More Coke, please?” since that came across as simple and punchy :D. What do you think?
