Doors to My Photos​

Story Behind the Pix
Since I started photography, I have developed a keen interest on various door knobs and knockers.
This is my first ever door shot which led to many more from every place I have traveled or visited.​

Waiting

Story Behind the Pix
This shoot captures the essence of my take on photography - it can be a single person activity and involves a lot of waiting and patience.

Hard Candy

Story Behind the Pix
One of the very first still life I have tried on. Depth of field then was still a very foreign concept to me. Quite satisfied with the outcome.

Spark from the Sky

Story Behind the Pix
Was on a shooting trip at Singapore Flyer, halfway thru the ride, rainstorm broke out. The group ended up chasing lightning. I was one of the 2 lucky ones who got a cool shot of the lightning hitting CBD.​

Whole Family in Prayers, Grandma Blows Nose

Story Behind the Pix
Finding it deeply touching yet funny when I compose this picture, I trust the whole family is praying for health especially for the aging grandma, yet she is blowing her nose.

Sentosa Sunset

Story Behind the Pix
While waiting for the fireworks, the evening sky put up a nice color display. Using my 12-24 UWA lens for the first time, immediately fell in love with it. Now, it is my default lens for narrow street shots or super landscape.

Jesus in Suffering

Story Behind the Pix
As I pick up this hobby, I learnt that I prefer no-flash photography, or you can call it ambient light photography. Thus, it is always a challenge to play out the scene in places with a good shot but low light level. This is one of my more satisfied shots where the low ambient light and existing spotlight gave a great highlight on the statue.

Against The Storm

Story Behind the Pix
Learning the Thirds Rule and actively compose my photos using the rule vs. trying to crop during post processing. This is one of my favorite straight from camera Thirds Rule shots.

Calm Reflection

Story Behind the Pix
This is Amarante, a small town outside Oporto. It was a beautiful late autumn day with a very calm Rio Tamega. Bracketed this shot and HDR it to get the superb reflection of the bridge on the calm river.

Story Behind the Pix
Always loved autumn for its color. This is an interesting angle, branch-only tree all ready for winter, reaching for the moon.
