The Sea, The Beach and The Rain...

I had a facebook group outing with my girlfriend and friends... Due to still a slight drissle... We had to take shelter at Tanjong Beach Club..When I looked around, I saw a flower between the greens of the bushes near my table. Then I went closer and saw an ant moving in and out of the flower looking busy. So I quickly took my macro magnifier and fit it on my lens to take a shot. Due to the flash and ISO control, I successfully darken the background and soliciting the flower and the ant as that's what I want to focus on. But due to it being a macro magnifier, the edges tend to be really soft.

The rain started to clear and the droplets by the leaves are really attractive. So with my macro magnifier on, I carried on taking some shots of it and got a shot.





The rain cleared, and the sun beams through the clouded skies, so I stroll down the beach and walk through the soft sands.. As I walked nearer to the shore, the sands became more rough. I wonder why myself, maybe is just that sands differ in different beaches in this same island , Sentosa? Anyway, something caught my eye. I saw shoe imprints (Unfortunately not foot imprints) near the shore, and further up, I saw a father building sand castles with his daughter. This is a photo opportunity that shouldn't be missed. I manage to take a shot and this is what I got.



The foot(shoes) imprints shows how much our parents carry us before we even start walking and knowing the world. The burden they put on their shoulders which explains the single track of the imprints. And the father and daughter relationship up above shows how much our parents spend time with us even though they have a lot of things to handle especially in their career.

So far , this is one of the most meaningful shots I have done and felt happy to share with you all.

Nature Shoot with Rain Surprise

What a day today at Hortpark, beautiful Garden hub as I walked by garden of different themes. Then a bee startled me when it landed on my arm, got a slight surprise though. My other photographer friend and my gf was taken aback by my reaction. Anyway, the bees are really busy by nature indeed.. Here are my shots showing their busy routine !








but those shots, the skies started turning gloomy.. and yes, even though I thought it would be passing rain, I was wrong... So we turned back and head for shelter, not long after reaching, a sudden downpour followed. It is quite difficult to head back to my car as it was raining heavily and we do not have an umbrella. So we stayed and sit by the table near by... while waiting, i noticed the water splash near the balcony and decided to try taking some water shots... These are what I got, enjoy !
