Perching On The Tip Of A Dried Branch

Lip Seng

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).

Climbing Chameleon

Came across a chameleon climbing on the tree trunk while I was having my photographic session at the Lower Seletar Reservoir (02 06 2021). I was also attracted by the texture and colour of the tree trunk when I spotted the lizard. The brilliant morning lighting gave a sparking touch on the subject. The next thing I had in mind was using the out of focus green background in the distance. A very simple approach to capture the colourful image of a nature subject.

Heron Resting On A Plate Form

I have not seen heron at the Lower Seletar Reservoir for a short while. On 27 05 2021, I came across one and only heron resting on the plate form of the water area. I was also attracted by the waves of the water generated by the fogging boat. I was very pleased to utilize the pattern of the waves as the backdrop of image. Orientation of my observation of such happening ended up with an interesting image being captured.
