Parked


This parked bicycle was also spotted at the “bird-song” park at Ang Mo Kio and made a good still-life subject with a natural green and clean background. The yellow bird-cage poles in the background help to give a sense of depth and perspective to what would otherwise have ended up as a two-dimensional picture.

“Rise and Sing!”


Making a trip back to the “bird-song park” at Ang Mo Kio (pictures featured here and here), but this time with my 20D, I was able to capture some more nice pictures of bird-song lovers hanging up their prized song-birds in cages for unofficial bird-song competitions. The faster focusing of the 20D enabled me to capture better action. What I need most now is a good enough lens (thinking of getting the Canon 70-200mm f4 L eventually, when I get the $$!) as I find the general results obtained with my Sigma 70-300 just a little too soft at wide-open apertures.
