The best present for me on the Australia trip wasn’t the free air tickets or accommodation, not the wonderful experience or fabulous company, but the light that allowed me to paint my photos (Thanks both Lyana and Jim Khor).
After the Shangri-La trip, I wanted to explore more of the back light technique and Australia has given me the best opportunity to practice with its light. For those who live away from equator might not understand how prestigious of the light in golden hours, but it’s the limitation for us who live in Singapore. At least now I have better understanding the character of light and hopefully I can break the barrier and produce a better shot within the limitation we had back home.
There’s still lot of skill issues to be solved, the hard edges of the flare, the focus point in slow shutter, etc. But for now I’m happy to show you some of my satisfy shots of Velda and Fred in Australia.
