Street Photo - Under The Umbrella Tree

As surreal as it may seem, I came across this location spot while roaming the streets in Little India and took this shot with my iPhone 6 Plus on Chrome mode, followed by some editing in Snapseed. At the time of snapping this shot, I didn't notice that India fellow on the foreground until I post-processed the image. For a moment I thought he is handicapped because of the way he sat on his right leg. Seeing his pair of shoes I believe he isn't.

Street Photo - This Is Our Future SG

Today is our National Day. I took this street photo of a little girl yesterday morning at a MRT station where she was wearing this cute red T-shirt with our national flag. The little girl and her Grand-ma were in red and white. How nice and appropriate to capture this moment in time!

Happy Birthday Singapore! Happy National Day!

Travel Photo - Fishing Boat

Fishing boat sat stationally on the muddy shore during a low tide in Kukup Malaysia, a fishing village located about 40 kilometres southwest of Johor Bahru, in the district of Pontian, Johor, on the Strait of Malacca in Malaysia.

Great sunny weather to capture this on my Apple iPhone 6 Plus on Chrome mode. Post-processed in Snapseed.

Travel Photo - Kelong

Went for a short trip last weekend to Kukup Malaysia, a fishing village about 40 kilometres southwest of Johor Bahru, in the district of Pontian, Johor, on the Strait of Malacca in Malaysia. It was my third trip since last August.

I woke up the next morning to a wonderful cool scenery of this kelong and swallows flying around, which I was fortunate to capture one that flew by in this photograph. It was captured by accident with my Apple iPhone 6 Plus on Chrome mode. Converted to black and white with other tonality adjustments in my all-time favorite mobile photo editing app, Snapseed. Cropped in 16x9 panorama aspect ratio for that cinematic effect.

Cheers for Beer! (A Cinemagraph)

Lately I got interested in cinemagraphs and this is my third attempt. Though not ideally the kind of result I wanted but I'm still quite pleased with the overall effect.

Well initially I wanted to include the flowing beer inside the bottle as it pours out into the beer glass. But that requires some handiwork which is to cut the beer bottle bottom half and clamp it sturdily on a light stand. Actually it's sort of like a funnel. Once the bottle is positioned above the beer glass, the video recording is running and I would pour another bottle of beer which is out of the frame, steadily at a moderate speed through the cut bottle and out pours the beer into the beer glass.

There are more room for improvements and with proper planning I believe I can produce better cinemagraphs.
