A bonus post this week so that I can participate in the Silhouette challenge from the Kat Eye View.
Both of these photos comes from Pulau Ubin - a small island off of Singapore. I spent a fabulous day mountain biking around the island and taking photos. I had an ah-ha moment as I attempted to compose photos there. My history of sports photography has been trying to remove extra people and clutter from a shot. But with landscapes, the composition is more about what I choose to leave in the image.
The calmness of the island was a total contrast to the heavy population of the Singapore mainland. This bay was so calm and quiet that I nearly missed the boat home as I relaxed on the sea wall.
This amazing tree stands in the middle of the island. I love the lace-like quality of the branches and the strength of the straight trunk. How long has this tree graced this earth? What an amazing reminder of Mother Nature's capability to produce something so perfect.
