The Indian Temple

Imagine freshly painted murals on the Temple walls. Can't resist

taking a shot. No manipulations here, straight from the camera.

Alec Ee nice image, like to see just the foreground, background is a bit distracking even it add abother thought too.

 

Regards.

The slight white outline on the main maroon column is from the side wall which is painted yellow. Bolti, I made a higher DOF to show all the details found in this temple. I shall go back to take some mood shots when the light is good.

An explosion of color, very nice.

Very good capture.I also find the bakground images distracting.

Wow! Very good capture of that excellent pice of art!!....Saludos.

Saturation for the eye and mind. Fine vivid capture Alec.

I like the background to the left, since it adds depth to the image: showing the surroundings proves this is just one image and makes you imagine a very complex structure. I do not like a lot the background to the right for two small reasons: some highlights toward the bottom, and some electric appliance on the roof.

 

However, is nice and colorful and I will be waiting to see what you will get in your next visits to this venue.

Colorful and eye-catching. I agree with the comment about the left background being more appealing than the right side background. You could play around with different crops on this one, Alec, and see what different effects you get from doing so.

Thanks for coming by guys. Sal, Kim this temple along Serangoon Road is part of "Little India" in Singapore. On week-ends there are thousands of Indian permanent resident workers who congregate and just have a good time.

 

As you can see from the attached image, the temple is freshly painted and can provide many interesting backdrops for those creative minded. The morning light is at a super angle so I'll go back again when it's good.

 

Ian Lloyd, a National Geograpic photojournalist who resides in Singapore for more than 25 years took a very interesting portrait here for NG's January 2005 issue. Will post it when I can find the digital image on the web.

Interesting place and lots of photo ops there, Alec. I'm jealous!

Again, excellent colors here Alec. Quick question: does the D70 work ok with regular Nikon/Sigma AF lenses, I'm thinking of getting one & using the Sony 828 as a spare as it's so light. Advice - cheers buddy - patrick

Right Kim wish you were here. To make you more jealous here's an attachment from photojournalist Ian Lloyd whose image appeared in the Jan 2005 issue of National Geographic.

 

 

Patrick, definitely. Nikon D70 can use Sigma lens. I understand the Sigma AF 70-300mm Apo 4-5.6 Macro super 11 provides very good colors and clarity. I think it is also one of the very few in that range to give you the option of using macro settings as well. So it's a good buy.

 

Alec, fantastic colours. It's your excellent camera or your skills? : ) I would say your skills manipulated the camera.

Thanks Cherlyn. Any reasonably good camera can take a clear image of this composition. You're right to say it's spotting it which makes the difference. ^_^

So Alec is this image Shiva?...think so. May be the same as this image of mine but not exactly sure...if u know would like to know. Great colour here and excellent shrine this is. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3091297

Kim is not the only one that is jealous...Alec being a color freak..the colors are great,and posibilities are endless.!
