It is obvious that autumn is here. This is an image that I captured during the visit to the Botanic Gardens, Glasgow, ten days ago. I used an unusual vantage point and a wide-angle lens to emphasize the mood of autumn. I think the touch of colour leaves is one of the essential elements for this image.
My 2nd visit in UK this year, during September-October, is again another fruitful session. This image was captured at Queen’s View, Loch Tummel. My initial expectation is to have another image of the loch with autumn colour. Unfortunately, this third visit of mine at this location was too early for the falls colour. Instead, I ended up with another image with dramatic visual impact. In comparing with“Autumn At Queen’s View” captured almost at the same location, you will realise the big difference between the two images. Personally, I quite like the simplicity and the back lit condition of the scene. I also love the little touch of colour in contrast with the strong monochromatic setting.
The coastal landscape in Bali is actually very photogenic. Location like Ulu Watu, Amed are all very unique. In August, after I completed the judging session of Garuda International Photo Contest in Bali, I stayed back for another outing in Bali. I revisited Tanah Lot in one of the evenings. As usual, I was expecting to shoot sunset. Instead, I found the coast of Tanah Lot is very attractive. I realise that the mood during the twilight hours at this location is even better than the sunset scene. This image was taken during this trip.
