Cantonese streets – I
First in the series of many posts capturing my time in walking around in Cantonese streets of Hong Kong.

Oz-zoo
The Taronga zoo was a delight to visit. I may have been the best wildlife enclosures that I have ever visited. Although I judge myself for taking easy way out to take photos of the animals behind bars and glass but I could not feel a little fulfilled after capturing some emotions and tight shots.…

Wings of Oz
I could spot more wildlife and birds in the parks of Sydney than I have been able to spot in the moors of England ( well, to be honest, I have not been birding in England much either ). Walking in The Hyde park along the Opera house in Sydney, the white Ibis does not…

Dream
I am so glad about the subject of lens artists challenge this week. I went for a short photo walk today. the colours of autumn are setting in the south of England. The green is leaving and the skies are turning grey ( well, they were grey to begin with, this is England ). I…

Wooly Walks
The short lived affair with summer is about to end in England but that is not stopping us from taking walks to the misty lakes in Dartmoor National Park. This time, we even found some friends 😀 You can already feel the autumn settling in the woods. The tree leaves whilst drying up are turning…

Bravehearts and Seawaves
Last weekend, my wife and I went on a leisurely bike ride to the cute beach town of Dawlish in south west England. I would say that it is a short bike ride per British standards ( 45ish Kms circuit? ). There was a nice warm start to the day with the golden sandy beaches…

York and Monochrome Sepia
I’ve been looking forward to this weekend when I would get the chance to go through the photos that I clicked in York, Yorkshire recently using my new ( new old actually ) Olympus camera – Olympus OM-D-EM1 ii 🥳 It is quite an upgrade from the 1st generation Oly EM10. I am going to…

Thresholds
Through the streets of some European cities, shots of doors some open some closed. Some with people waiting on the thresholds and some with a blanket of darkness inside. Some of the photos of doors from recent trip to Athens and Lisbon. An art corner in the streets of Athens. Typically, I like to capture…

Backgrounds
This is probably my favourite photo challenges. I love to find stories with multiple layers – something interesting with the subject and how it ties with the background. I captured this shot in Santorini, Greece while walking through the streets of Fira. The Caldera makes for the best background that a photographer could ask for,…

Artwalk in Lisbon
On a 5-day work trip, I skipped out few times to capture the streets of Lisbon, Portugal on my humble Olympus om-d-em10 mark i. I think it is going to be the final trip with my first digital camera before I upgrade to the Oly om-d-em5 mark ii for its better image stabilisation and weather…

Winter Streets
Dawn’s Monochrome Madness post reminded me of the photos that I took in the last weeks of winter. It is interesting that it is not only the humans who feel doleful during winters, the streets also get gloomy. The grand streets of touristy towns like Bath are also not as bustling as they would be…

FOTD – Goldsturm
Brilliantly rendered by Fujifilm C200 on Canon AE-1. The picture almost looks like a painting. I don’t think I want to pixel peep or have the highest resolution and clarity when the picture looks like a painting 🙂 Posted for Cee’s Flower of the Day

Scope
In the midst of a narrow trail in nearby park, a clear winter day offered a beautiful view of a distant church. I love this trail especially because of the canopy of trees which create a tunnelling effect. It is especially fun to play around with vintage lenses in this trail. This photo, however was…

Strada
When in Rome, carry your camera. -Anonymous Photographer There is a beautiful composition in every corner of Rome. A beautiful city with amazing architecture which was a delight for me while trying out my hand at street photography. In this photo, I played a bit with hue and colours to accentuate the yellows of the…

Confined
Turn any corner in Rome and you may find a tunnelling alley leading up to a beautiful piece of architecture. One of the most beautiful cities to do street photography. Posted for Dan’s Thursday Doors.

Windowful
London – she inspires street style of photography. Shoot in colour or without, there are always interesting stories walking around in London. Posted for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness

Dew and Bubbles
While practising photography as a hobby, clicking photos of bokeh has been the most fun. It does not always need to be smooth and silky. Sometimes, the bubbles are fun to have in the bokeh.

Rust
With the spring season upon the northern hemisphere and beautiful colours starting to bloom everywhere, it is almost nostalgic to remember the rustic colours of autumn and winter. Posted for Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge

Sprung
Rome is one of the most beautiful cities that I have been too. Away from the crowded tourist locations and the monuments, the charm of back alleys of Rome is just hypnotising. Posted for Dan’s Thursday Doors
