before you think this is a fish-eye lens photo, it’s not. it’s purely the landscape of the roads that caused this effect.
another example of landscape defining the photo
this is getting to ground level to capture such a shot. learning to take various photo from different angles.
end of the day, the mood is set for a drink somewhere
Our beloved country is celebrating it’s 46th birthday. We are just starting to walk out of the huge financial meltdown happened just a few years back. Now yet again we are facing a possible Euro Crisis.
Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam warned Singaporeans to brace for ourselves for the impact of a sluggish economy in the coming months. This coming just barely a month away from our nation’s celebration. What will become of Singapore?
A grand happy birthday, nothing goes wrong.
We will fly strong and high despite the dark days ahead.
Disaster?
On this trip to Bali, a friend of mine gave me a challenge to go with a theme for photography. I took the challenge and it turned out to be a better photography trip than all my previous trips. Now I have something in mind when I take my photos. I will be on a constant lookout for what I want to take.
A horseman waiting for his next customer. A few times we were really tempted to give it a try.
We see these green square shape thing with flowers and incense almost everywhere we go in Bali. I think it’s got to do with some religious purpose.
90% of the seafood we eat in Bali comes from the daily catch of these tireless fishermen. A lone boat still out there hoping to catch a few more fishes before the light is out.
Tall brick gates are common in Bali. Whenever I see such gates, I will find a temple nearby. Guess it’s a gate to peace?
A woman washing the plates in a small drain just outside her house. Her daughter was actually “doing her business” there.
The sky is so beautiful but the people are oblivious to it’s beauty. A sharp contrast between peace and busyness.
This old lady was actually picking tin cans in the bushes, but she gave me a wide smile when I took out my camera. I just love the simplicity of the Balinese people.
Many would have thought beggars are common in countries like Indonesia. Believe it or not, this man was the only beggar I saw in Bali. In fact, a boat man told me the entire Indonesia economy is very much supported by the money generated from Bali tourism.
A group of kids pulling along a bull in celebration of a temple activity.
Can’t help but being attracted to this small boy by the road side. Again, it’s the smile.
This cute lady was asking me to give her some money when I was taking her photo.
I want to sum up my trip to Bali with this photo. Bali is a peaceful place but not boring. It is a very colourful island.
it’s a pity I didn’t stand slightly further so that I can take in the roundabout road.
this is actually a childcare centre on top of the hill. I was captured by the palm trees so nicely laid out around the perimeter.
if you need a holiday, looking at this photo is like 望梅解渴
just playing around with the colour enhancement mode.
shadows are a cool way of taking photo
$10 durian for a mao shan wang?
a shelter for such a place, really kills the power feel
apparently mummies are not afraid of the sun..was that vampire?
we were at Vivo late one night, took the chance to shoot her inside one of those blue tunnels
