How much would you pay for this if it’s printed on a large canvas? A play with HDR from 3 images shot during a sunny afternoon.

I know quite a number of HDR fans prefer the more dramatic effect to the photo but I prefer to keep it to this style where we can still see some semblance of the actual shot looks. In this case, the actual photo is actually quite dull but with a few tweaks here and there. We get this. So what do you think? Would you buy this image if it’s printed on a canvas? How much would you pay for it?

Clarke Quay & Fullerton: Day & Night

On a recent trip down to Singapore, I join up with some backpackers from around the world (there’s 2 Japanese, 1 Indian from UK, 1 Vietnamese from Ireland, 1 American, 2 Spaniards and a Greek) on a little walk around Clarke Quay and Fullerton area.

Here’s what I’ve gotten at.

Playing in the Lalang field

I know over the past couple of months, you’ve been seeing a lot of sun set photos from me. Well, I can’t really help it as that’s one of the most beautiful and magical hours to me.

The play of light at that hour is just magnificant, God’s wonders never cease to amaze me. How the heaven turn the day to night and the colors that appears in between that switch. It’s incredible don’t you think so? (more…)
