Water Fantasy

Lip SengNovember 18, 2004

Waterfalls are one of my favourite photographic subjects. I was attracted by the refracted colours created by the splashing water during one of my visit to the waterfalls at Bali in 1990. The accuracy of the exposure for the rainbow colours of the splash is essential to this image. I utilized a slow shutter speed setting to capture the movement of water at the right moment.

I love the lines and curves that were created by the flow of water. A printed reproduction of this picture was acquired for the permanent collections of a Singapore government ministry.

Wind Surfers No.3

This image of board surfing was captured along the coast while I was in Fremantle, Western Australia, in 1990. Good vantage point, back-lit lighting conditons, gorgeous colours are the important elements of this picture. The decisive-moment nature of the shot was a challenge to capture, providing visual impact to the final shot.

From a vantage point, I captured this fisherman having his early morning catch while I was out on a photographic trip in Bali in 1991. One of the characteristics and important elements of photographic art is to capture the spontaneous moment of an action. This is demonstrated precisely in this image. This image was a Medal Winner of the 22nd Hong Kong Camera Club International Salon held in 1992.
