Resting Nite - Raptures Alight!

February Challenge - RED #1

Those that can read Chinese will realise that this is upside down, however I took this photo looking down my sleeve.

This was from the outfit that I wore when I went visiting this last weekend for Chinese New Year… and I wish you all a Happy and Prosperous year of the rat!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Apologies for the absense, however I had a fall and ended up being on my back for 10 days. I’m getting it looked at this week, however it’s meant that the posting has taken a backseat!

OK - I’m joining this one late, however it’s time to go with the February Colour Theory Challenge from the PhotoChallenge.org blog. It’s summarised below.

I want three images a week. Not bad, no? It’s not one a day, but not one a week. Additionally, I want you to choose the same color for the whole week. Then, a new color for the following week.

For me, this week’s colour will be RED!

I pointed this contrast of busy, colourful street and grey, stormy sky out to my sister-in-law and she said snap it! So I did. I hope you like the contrast as well.

This was taken in the basement of a golf club. It didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted - I was trying to capture all the diagonal lines that were criss-crossing across the roof.

I’m not terribly good at photographing rain, however I couldn’t resist the colours that seemed to almost be highlighted by the deluge that was falling this day.

Some empty settings from a midnight shot at a closed coffee shop in Singapore. I changed the angle and slightly overexposed the shot.

I revisited the same site that I took photos last night, as I wanted to retake one, and there were a couple of possibilities that I didn’t have time for as well.

I like the way the light fell on the path.

It’s my wedding anniversary, and I couldn’t think of a better theme than light! Corny, huh?

Other shots I liked from this evening’s photos:

Practicing Depth of Field (notice the focus on the bird) and keeping lines straight (the drain is vertically positioned).

I’m always amazed at how many small scraps of paper and such are on the ground.

I’ve been meaning to post this shot for a long time… it’s a scene every weekend at a lot of HDB Blocks in Singapore!
