An image captured during my visit to the Sydney Opera House in September. This image was photographed from a vantage point with a 28mm lens. I love the low light condition, long shadows , the lines and textures of this image. This is one of the my numerous works that illustrates the advantage of shooting pictures during the golden hours of the day.
This is another image that I have captured from the Singapore Botanical Gardens during my visits last year.
The colours and pattern of the subject are all natural. The only thing that I am demonstrating here is my perception of an ordinary place but full of photographic potentials. This image is also served as sample of the effectiveness of top lighting condition. A polarizer was utilized to minimize the reflection of the water and increased the saturation of the colours.
It is interesting to know that the architectural design of the Sydney Opera House, NSW, Australia was inspired from slices of oranges and not (as commonly thought), on sails. One of the images that I captured during my visit in September 2003, was a long tele shot (250 mm Telyt lens on Leicaflex SL) of this distinctive design. The evening light has provided me with a nice touch of orange glow for this fabulous place. The darkened cloud-patterned sky in contrast, enhanced the image with even greater visual impact.
