esplanade

February 2nd, 2009

Thought I’d share a few photos I took a couple of Saturdays with you folks.

I wasn’t really planning to shoot that day, merely having brought my 50mm f/1.8 attached to my camera body for testing the wireless flash triggers I was collecting that afternoon.

Turned out that with the most basic of Canon lenses, I managed to shoot one of my best sets of photos ever! Bearing in mind that this is a sub $100 lens, I present to you, Esplanade. Also not much editing has been done, aside from slight tweaking of colours and contrast.

My fave of the day, I love how the lighting is so moody, and the contrast of light on the metallic spikes of the Esplanade rooftop, backed by some nice parting clouds in the sky!

A better view of the spikes, and the sharp lighting cutting right across the spikes.

A clearer patch of sky, for a nicer bluey background.

Turns out one doesn’t really need a fridge to freeze water.

Feels very zen-nish. On hindsight, I should have cleared the lower pebbles for more impact.

Assymetry in symmetry; symmtetry in geometry, asymmetry in lighting.
