Photographing on the streets of Cabramatta, NSW

Cabramatta, NSW.

I’ve just coming back from a Tasmanian roadtrip a couple of weeks ago. Work has kept me preoccupied, which resulted in one week of silence on this blog. This has been the first instance since I got back to work on the next blog post. After an enjoyable day in the Blue Mountains, we spent a few hours exploring the streets of Cabramatta and finished off our day enjoying some Vietnamese food in the heart of the one of the largest Vietnamese communities in Australia.

The Three Sisters Lookout in the Blue Mountains

Continuing on with my series of photo essays from my Sydney trip last year. Today’s photo essay is part one of my day trip to the Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains is less than two hours drive west of Sydney. It’s an easy and well worth day trip if you are visiting Sydney for a few days. To make the most of our day, we headed out the door fairly early in the morning. I previously posted a HDR composite photo of the Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains. In this blog post, you’ll find images showcasing the Blue Mountains in it’s full glory from Echo Point.

Chinese New Year Lanterns, The Twelve Zodiacs

Even though I brought along my camera to Malaysia, I hardly took it out to shoot unless there was something in particular that I wanted to capture. I found as Malaysia is somewhere I visit quite often, I’m much more deliberate in what I photograph. On one of my last few nights in Penang, we visited the colourful Chinese New Year lantern display at Dewan Sri Pinang. Being Chinese New Year, Penang island was packed full of tourist. The lights attracted plenty of visitors even at 11pm at night. I enjoyed trying to compose photos with and without people in my shots. As it’s the year of the rooster, that was the most prominently displayed zodiac in the crowd.

Life in transit

I had a couple of hours to spare waiting for my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang during my trip to Malaysia back in January. While I was waiting in transit in KLIA 2 airport, it came to me to shoot a short photo series on life waiting in transit. A mini project of sorts. I envisioned it to be a black and white series. Focusing on contrast, lines, curves and symmetry. I also wanted to encapsulate the typical scenes you find in any airport in the world. Walk ways, seats, large windows facing the tarmac, people walking, people resting. I couldn’t wait to load up the photos in Lightroom and convert them to black and white shots.
