Textures... in photography

To be able to demonstrate textures in 2 dimensional photographs, and exhort the inner urge touch the objects captured in the photos... is rather fascinating.

The rugged bark of tree...demonstrating toughness and tenacity!

The soft velvety feel of the "heart-warming" robe...

Mid-autumn Festival @ Mooncake Festival 2022

I had taken snap shots of light decor in celebration of Mid-autumn Festival over the past few years. 

Went out for brief walking tour, to capture some photos of the light decor this year.

Somehow, the protagonist of Mid-autum Festival, Chang-er (嫦娥), the moon fairy is missing this year. Instead, her faithful company, Jade Rabbit 玉兔,takes centre-stage this time round.




The light decors were rather bland and subdued in colour. 


Fortunately, the colourful home-made lanterns by young children on display at the foyer of ChinaTown Point more or less compensate for the inadequacy.


Hiding among the light decors showing the various types of mooncakes from different dialect groups was a rare glimpse of "family photo" depicting Moon fairy 嫦娥, together with Jade Rabbit 玉兔, and 吴刚。

Time must be rough this year, they have to advertise for Maxi-Cash!

Even the billboard advertisment looks more interesting and eye catching than the light decors!

闹市里的葱郁

 


在喧吵的闹市里,能拥有一片葱郁的树林草地,着实难得!


居然能看见类似梯田的景色,更加可贵!虽然这只是花园里的一个布景。

 
周末穿行“林中小道”,吸取分布于四周的负离子,更是另一种滋味!


缓步于公园小道, 或来个健身操。。。运动运动肢体,不亦乐乎!



鲜艳夺目的花朵枝叶,多么养眼!


不过,偶而有些被人丢弃的杂物,破坏了那宜人景象。。。唉!

Put into practice

Have kept myself busy reading some books on photography. The gist of what I have learnt - practice makes perfect... no matter how much you have read, you won't learn anything unless you venture and try out the various tips.

Hence, here I come with some of the photos.

quite surprised with the pastel like colour of the leaves.

Reminded me of Shadow play /Wayang Kulit

This will brighten my day!

雨中即景

傍晚时分,与往常一样下楼到附近河道慢步运动。在运动人行道步行时,只见前方不远处乌云密布,心想一场大雨是免不了的,但也许不会来得快。

哪知才在河道上拐了个弯,用随身带的相机拍了几张照片后,老天便憋不住气,下起倾盆大雨来。幸好我当时已靠近走道上的一所亭子,忙快步奔上前避雨。

闲着无聊,便拿起相机拍了几张雨中即景来打发时间。

倾盆大雨

正值放学时刻,学生们提着雨伞回家。



也有人骑着铁马向前冲。



亭子下的砖瓦,路边的引水道与街灯,及梯级下的积水。。。






无奈地承受风吹雨打的卡车,面包车,电单车。








露天的砖瓦。


那一脸无奈!

Colours of life

Life is truly full of enchanting colours.

The bright colours can be very pleasing, and help to lift up our spirits!

I was rather pleased with the photos below...

Soothing texture of a robe

The clothes waiting to be folded

Wow.. the orange tree trunk!

The colourful leaves

The flowers

"Christmas tree"?

CJ Moving back to NTU Hall 12

It's the beginning of new academic year and the final year for CJ.

He moved back to a new double-bed room at Residential Hall 12 today.

His room mate has placed his belongings into his cupboard, and made his bed. But CJ is yet to see his new room mate.

Mopped / clean the bed, table and the floor. Some items were left at home -> drove back to get those items, and went for dinner @ Beo Crescent Hawker Centre before making a return trip to NTU.
