Street Photos – Street Colors


The photo above is inspired by Piet Mondrian's abstract artwork. Mondrian was a Dutch painter and art theoretician regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He was known for being one of the pioneers of 20th-century abstract art, as he changed his artistic direction from figurative painting to an increasingly abstract style until he reached a point where his artistic vocabulary was reduced to simple geometric elements.


Well, I'm not entirely fond of abstract artwork but I couldn't help when I came across this vibrant painted wall and pillars in my neighborhood and thought it would be interesting to take some Mondrian-style street photos.

Here are the rest of the street photos I made in that vicinity.

Street Panorama







Took this panorama shot one week before our NDP (National Day Parade) with my Smartphone camera in Panorama Mode. It was a hot Sunday afternoon and the lighting was beautiful. A man was crossing the road as I was swinging my phone camera. The photo was post-processed in Adobe LR mobile app.


Took another panorama shot of Anderson Bridge at a later afternoon. The area behind the camera is Victoria Theater and the open grass space in front was packed with people on picnics. Quite a number of people was taking selfies and group photos on the bridge too. Managed to get this clean shot without people passing by on the foreground. Minutes after a few panorama shots, the stormy clouds approached, which can be seen in the far right background of this photo. Post-processed in Adobe LR mobile app.

Street Photo – Untitled

About a month ago, I was "fishing" around the City Hall area, just at the junction between North Bridge Road and Coleman Street. It was a crowded Sunday afternoon with many Vietnamese and Myanmar people.

Initially, I wanted to take photographs of this young girl standing by the barricades, but she looked away when I pressed the shutter. However, this young guy walked into the frame and stroked his hair. That look in his eyes is filled with self-confidence. Next to him, a masked lady with her sunglasses on her head, frowning. It'd be a better and more interesting street photograph by cropping the photo as shown below, focussing on these 2 characters.

Our National Day is just around the corner and there will be more people hanging out in that area on the coming weekends. I'm planning on doing more up-close street photos of people. Will share the photos when ready.

Street Photos – Primary Colors
















Do you know what are the primary colors? Yes, they are RED, BLUE, and YELLOW.

I understand that you, the viewers see lots of yellow color in these 3 street photos as the dominating color, but take a closer look (if you look closely and long enough), there are the reds and blues, and even a secondary color i.e. GREEN. Oh! There are neutral colors too (black, white and grey). Did you spot them all in each photo?
