Another Piece To Put Up

Lip Seng

On 08 October 2015, at Mount Rainier, Seattle, USA, I was attracted by this interesting image. The staff of the national park was putting up wooden panels to cover the door and windows of a building. Though I did not know the concept of this practice, my perception was on the pattern and colours of the whole setting. The orientation followed my observation was to capture the happening at the right moment. Obviously, I was very pleased with the colours and the design of the entire image.

When Ripples Occurred

The mood of tranquillity of a lake at Mount Rainier, Seattle, USA, is a pleasing moment to enjoy.
I admired this moment when I was there on 08 October 2015. My perception of beautiful reflections of the lake actually is beyond my words of description. To top up my satisfaction at the end of my day’s visit, the ripples occurred within my sight. An immediate orientation to capture the awesome image followed.

Perching On The Tip Of A Dried Branch

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).
