Pinnacles At Dawn

The mystery of the desert has always been a favorite subject for landscape photographers. I share with you a picture from the Pinnacles Desert, Western Australia, captured during my second visit to this place in November 2003. A polariser was used here to increase the saturation of the blue sky. This image was taken at 5.00am immediately after sunrise. My son, Eng Loy and I stayed one night in a motel that is within one km from the Pinnacles to captrure this. The beauty and serene mood of the early morning, and gorgeous colors are the essentials to this image. I certainly like the lighting and colours that enhanced the visual impact of the image.

Only One Is Free

My last outing in Bali, October 2003 was another successful one (photographically!). Besides photographing other subjects, I came across this interesting image. Cockerels in Bali are reared for cockfight and are considered as precious commodities! Since cockfight was declared illegal, they can now only be seen during the temple festivals. Obviously, this freed one was not one of those that was reared for the cockfight.
