Celebration in a village such as Tenganan, Bali, satay is always a favourite dish. My perception of this satay cooking session, besides focused on the ordering manner of the people and their action, my focus was also on the separation of the backdrop by the dispersing smoke. I was also attracted by the colourful setting of the scene. Such an approach, is one way of capturing a busy environment with greater visual impact.
The weather forecast on 16 02 2022 was mostly cloudy. I had not given up my expectation of capturing a good image first thing in the morning. As usual, I made a trip to Upper Peirce Reservoir. When I arrived there, the weather sudden turned bad. But the sky appeared amazing dramatic. My perception oriented me to shoot a number of images of the vibrant sky. If black and white photography is your cup of tea, I think you would like the visual impact of this image.
One of the colourful birds in Jurong Bird Park, Singapore is Malay Crested Fireback. The unique features and colour are the attractions for me. I was fortunate to capture two of them facing each other. Most importantly, one was well lit and the other one was subdued and thrown slight out of focus. To me, a well composed image is essential for a greater visual impact.
