Impression of Lowrey


When we mention Manchester, the first thing that strikes many local football fans’ mind would be that of the Manchester United football team. I have visited Manchester many times partly because of my elder son, Eng Kien, who pursued his medical degree at the University of Manchester from 1992 to 1997. I went back to Manchester again in 2003. Visiting the Lowrey area, I was greatly impressed with the brand new architectural additions over there. I captured this image simply because of the good geometrical designs and colour contrast of the setting. The usually gloomy UK weather seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden and I was greeted with such a brightly-lit lighting condition.

Compressed Hay in a Farm


In July, while I was driving along the motorway to Kilmarnock from Glasgow, I came across this farming landscape scene. I decided to stop by to capture some images. The clouds were low and were set dramatically against the blue sky. I used a polariser to accentuate the effect further. As a city-dweller, I was fascinated with the visual impact the scene.
