Rowing In The Rhythm of Cloud Reflection


Did I using a drone to capture this image?

Actually I was at the 12th storey of a flat overlooking the Lower Seletar Reservoir on 20 June 2021. A vantage angle that I have been eyeing all this while. During my visit, I was attracted by the lovely cloud reflections on the surface of the water. The restriction of outdoor sport activity due to Covid-19 was just lifted recently. Hence, I was fortunate to have the boat rowing into my sight adding as a centre of interest into such a pleasing scene. Such an image is the result of turning my conception into reality on capturing the final image.

Aesthetic Pleasure Of Pattern


One of the principles underlying my work is pattern, light and shade. On 17 September 2020, I went back to the Lower Peirce Reservoir for my photographic session. Since I arrived at 6:30 am, I expected the maintenance team of the reservoir as usual would start their boat trip around 7:00 am. In order to capture the pattern of the waves on the water surface, I went back to the higher ground on the slope to wait for the right moment. From my vantage angle, I managed to captured the pattern , light and shade of the waves. Such a phenomenon changes within a split of a second. To freeze the moment and turned into an image with aesthetic pleasure is another challenge for me in photography.
