Perching On The Tip Of A Dried Branch

My perception of capturing an image of a dragonfly is mainly on the lighting of the subject. The perching position of the nature subject is also an important element of the image. Last but not least, selecting a suitable background is equally essential for the visual impact of the image. Ensuring the subject critically in focus in order to have a sharp final image is the upmost requirement. Orienting all these elements and capture the image from a vantage angle is the end result of freezing the moment permanently. This is an image that I captured at the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 12 June 2021 with Leica Vario-Elmar-R 80-200 mm lens + Leica Apo-Extender-R 2X on SonyA7RIII body (manual focusing).

Amazing Cloud Formation

Prior to the capture of “Double Rainbow Over The Reservoir”, I was attracted by this unusual cloud formation and the gorgeous colour. This was one of the two landscape images that I captured on 17 June 2021. Immediately after I captured this image, I discovered the double rainbow over the opposite site of the sky. It was one of my unusual reward with in a split of a second at the Lower Seletar Reservoir. I love the spectacular formation of the cloud and vibrant colour of landscape image.

Gorgeous Colours Of Landscape

Some of the principles underlying my work in capturing a landscape image are framing, foreground and distance background. In the middle level is the main attraction of an image. Pattern, light and shade are also the additional usual observation before my orientation to capture the final image. Capturing this image at the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 25 April 2021, fulfilled what I was looking for from the vantage angle.
