It may be Tulipmania at Gardens By The Bay currently but blooming daffodils and narcissuses are displayed as an interesting contrast. Collectively, tulips, daffodils and narcissuses are spring-flowering bulbs. Compared to the tulips, narcissuses are trickier to photograph. Patiently waiting for the right lighting conditions is the key!
Not only could we see beautiful tulips at the Tulipmania display at the Gardens By The Bay, visitors over this weekend were also treated with take-home tulip blooms… good enough for a nice exercise of still-life photography at home, using window-light and a dark background to bring out the glow in the colourful blooms!
A candid moment caught on the grounds of the Istana (the official residence of the President of the Republic of Singapore) captured rather appropriately on a mobile phone camera! Taken during the recent Istana open house to celebrate Hari Raya Puasa and Labour Day.
