<\/p>\n

The photography talk conducted by my dad<\/a> at the Ngee Ann Photographic Exhibition<\/a> last weekend brought back some good memories of the images I took on outings with him. A collection of some of those images eventually ended up in my portfolio for my successful application for ARPS<\/a> in September 2003. The next few updates will feature images from the portfolio together with my thoughts on them. To start off…<\/p>\n

Emeralds of Spring<\/span> was taken more than two years ago at the Botanical Gardens, Singapore. A brilliant (but hot!) day provided wonderful sunshine by the sundial pond which was filled with brilliantly-lit leaves of the Victoria Amazonica<\/span>. Because of the strong back-lighting, getting a correct exposure was tricky, made even more difficult by having to use the LCD (of my G3) in bright light to compose the final shot. I like the details of the leaf patterns captured as well as the repetitive pattern of the lily pads, whose monotony is broken nicely by the largest leaf at the top.<\/p>\n
