The First Task of the Day

Wolverine CAMERA

An monochrome image that I captured more than 60 years ago. I digitalised the negative and post-processed with the soft-ware recently.
Burning and dodging of the selected areas could be easily applied with the high tech. In the early sixties, cottage industry site at Mata Ikan area was a favourite location for our Sunday outing. Besides the atmospheric pictorial quality of the morning scene, most importantly, capturing the decisive moment was utterly essential for an eye-catching image.

Laundry Day At SGH

One of my colour slide captured in the sixties (more than 60 years ago), the colour of the original slide was faded to a certain extent. Recently I scanned the image and decided to convert into a monochrome image. I think the tonal range and the contrast of the image in monochrome format is better than the colour original. Drying the laundry at the open field in Singapore General Hospital was a common sight. The is one of the Singapore heritage image that I had captured during my Sunday photographic outings in last century.
