The mystery of the desert has always been a favorite subject for landscape photographers. I share with you a picture from the Pinnacles Desert, Western Australia, captured during my second visit to this place in November 2003. A polariser was used here to increase the saturation of the blue sky. This image was taken at 5.00am immediately after sunrise. My son, Eng Loy and I stayed one night in a motel that is within one km from the Pinnacles to captrure this. The beauty and serene mood of the early morning, and gorgeous colors are the essentials to this image. I certainly like the lighting and colours that enhanced the visual impact of the image.

The Cockle Bay at Sydney, Australia is one of the places with good potential for colourful night photography. Here, I share with you one of the images that I captured during my visit in September 2003.

It is interesting to know that the architectural design of the Sydney Opera House, NSW, Australia was inspired from slices of oranges and not (as commonly thought), on sails. One of the images that I captured during my visit in September 2003, was a long tele shot (250 mm Telyt lens on Leicaflex SL) of this distinctive design. The evening light has provided me with a nice touch of orange glow for this fabulous place. The darkened cloud-patterned sky in contrast, enhanced the image with even greater visual impact.
