This is another colourful image that I have captured during my 3rd visit to Expo 2010. The Netherlands Pavilion, is known as “Happy Street”. The impact of ambient light on 2 of the 26 small houses along the street is out of my expectation. What is not really vivid in the day, could be very brilliant when the light is turned on.
Capturing the night scene of the Expo 2010, was obviously my main aim of being there.
I came across this setting during my visit to Shanghai Sculpture Space recently. First I was attracted by the lighting condition. On 2nd thought, I realized I could create an unusual image of floral study. Hence, the result shown here. I am quite pleased with the appearance of the whole image. Would you like to guess how such an effect could be created?
On the last day of outing in Bali for the Garuda Indonesia International Photo Competition 2010, our members of jury agreed that the event was lacked of opportunity of capturing the best landscape of places we had visited. We all agreed to cancel the shopping trip to Kuta. Instead we have headed the pantai of Tanjung Benoa in search of landscape image. Unfortunately, the rainy weather set in when we arrived at the pantai. In spite of the bad weather, one of our finalists from Hong Kong has managed to capture the Best Landscape Award from this last minute of outing in Bali.
For myself, I am very pleased to have my version of landscape of the pantai. Indeed, the little bird dropped by has added life to this somber scene. The reflective table surface has also provided an interesting foreground for the image.
I think a serious photographer should not store the camera even on a rainy day!
