Street Photos – Street Colors

noreply@blogger.com (Martin Liew) — Sat, 26 Aug 2023 17:20:00 +0000

The photo above is inspired by Piet Mondrian's abstract artwork. Mondrian was a Dutch painter and art theoretician regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He was known for being one of the pioneers of 20th-century abstract art, as he changed his artistic direction from figurative painting to an increasingly abstract style until he reached a point where his artistic vocabulary was reduced to simple geometric elements.

Well, I'm not entirely fond of abstract artwork but I couldn't help when I came across this vibrant painted wall and pillars in my neighborhood and thought it would be interesting to take some Mondrian-style street photos.

Here are the rest of the street photos I made in that vicinity.

Street Panorama

noreply@blogger.com (Martin Liew) — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 02:10:00 +0000

Took this panorama shot one week before our NDP (National Day Parade) with my Smartphone camera in Panorama Mode. It was a hot Sunday afternoon and the lighting was beautiful. A man was crossing the road as I was swinging my phone camera. The photo was post-processed in Adobe LR mobile app.

Took another panorama shot of Anderson Bridge at a later afternoon. The area behind the camera is Victoria Theater and the open grass space in front was packed with people on picnics. Quite a number of people was taking selfies and group photos on the bridge too. Managed to get this clean shot without people passing by on the foreground. Minutes after a few panorama shots, the stormy clouds approached, which can be seen in the far right background of this photo. Post-processed in Adobe LR mobile app.

ICM Street Series Vol. 4

noreply@blogger.com (Martin Liew) — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 02:10:00 +0000

Hello everyone! Hope all are well with you in August. Firstly, I apologize for delaying the new ICM series. Today, I'm proud to present you my new ICM photos. So without further ado, sit back and dive right in to view.

Street Photo – Untitled

noreply@blogger.com (Martin Liew) — Sat, 29 Jul 2023 15:43:00 +0000

About a month ago, I was "fishing" around the City Hall area, just at the junction between North Bridge Road and Coleman Street. It was a crowded Sunday afternoon with many Vietnamese and Myanmar people.

Initially, I wanted to take photographs of this young girl standing by the barricades, but she looked away when I pressed the shutter. However, this young guy walked into the frame and stroked his hair. That look in his eyes is filled with self-confidence. Next to him, a masked lady with her sunglasses on her head, frowning. It'd be a better and more interesting street photograph by cropping the photo as shown below, focussing on these 2 characters.

Our National Day is just around the corner and there will be more people hanging out in that area on the coming weekends. I'm planning on doing more up-close street photos of people. Will share the photos when ready.

Street Photos – Primary Colors

noreply@blogger.com (Martin Liew) — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 02:10:00 +0000

Do you know what are the primary colors? Yes, they are RED, BLUE, and YELLOW.

I understand that you, the viewers see lots of yellow color in these 3 street photos as the dominating color, but take a closer look (if you look closely and long enough), there are the reds and blues, and even a secondary color i.e. GREEN. Oh! There are neutral colors too (black, white and grey). Did you spot them all in each photo?

Street Photo – underbar

noreply@blogger.com (Martin Liew) — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 02:10:00 +0000

I was inspired and strongly motivated to do street photography last weekend. I was on alert mode, constantly looking for interesting characters, gestures, body language, facial expressions, human interactions, found objects, etc. And there it was. I was walking along the sidewalk of Bugis+ shopping mall and spotted this man sitting under the mall signboard, if that's what they called it, with that strong peachy pink color tone on his polo T-shirt on par with the same color tone on the letter 'b'.

I titled it 'underbar' because I Google-searched and found there's another name for underscore. That short horizontal pink stripe across the polo T-shirt, positioned right beside the letter 'b', says it all.
