Joshua & Jasmine

Two weekends ago, my photography buddy arranged a shooting session for us. This time it was a pair of brother and sister. We wanted to go to the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching for the shooting but my friend was told by the security guard there that photo-shooting is not allowed in the premises.

That didn't demotivate us from shooting, so we decided to move to another location. We finally chose the Traffic Garden for the photo-shooting activity. It was another fun session with the models and photography buddies.

It's Getting Dark at Sydney Opera House

One of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, if not the most; is the Opera House at Circular Quay. It is perhaps the most photographed building in Australia.

When I had the opportunity to visit Sydney in August this year, I did not let the chance of photographing this building slip by.

I planned my time of the visit so that I could spend time taken photos of the Opera House during the golden hour.

By the time the sun had just set, the sky turned into turquoise blue.

When the natural light is almost completely dimmed, the sky turned into a shade of sapphire blue. This is the best time to photograph 'night' scene, especially when the floodlight is turned on.

By the time the sunlight was totally dimmed out, the sky turned into pitch dark, leaving only the floodlight-lit shapes of the Opera House.
