Picture taken on 27 Oct 2008
It was Deepavali and Uncle Tiong Chin invited me to join him for a nature walk cum photo shoot session. We started from the drain/river opposite Ngee Ann Poly. Interestingly, you will spot foreign workers hauling up fishing nets from the river. They seem to be resident fisherman and look very familiar with the surroundings. Not to forget, if you ever need waterplants for your fish tanks, there are tonnes of them in the river!
As we continue our walk, we crossed a railway track. What is so different about this scene is that the railway track leads to some private houses and by the sides of the track are abandoned wooden planks which might be left there after track maintenance.
Although armed with a 100-400 telezoom lens, I took a picture of the scene. I knew immediately that this has to be converted to a muted image. With some recommendation from a forum friend, I decided to try the Orton effect. It is an effect invented by Michael Orton. It gives the image a dreamy effect.
