The Isle of Wight, an island off the south coast of England, can be reached with a ferry. It is a beautiful island with lots of landscape photographic opportunities. This was at Totland.
Visiting the UK, a day or two on the “to do list” is to visit London. We went on a river cruise where we got off the ferry at the Tower Bridge and I spent some time to photograph the bridge.
It is highly recommended to do sunrise at Ankor Wat. Even though there was no spectacular clouds, I still loved the photos I got.
One of my favorite temples to visit in Siem Reap is the Bayon. The Bayon’s most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak (Wiki).
Siem Reap became a very popular for touring as there are many ancient temples of which Angkor Wat is probably the most famous one. This one is East Mebon, a 10th Century temple at Angkor.
Local markets are good places to do some street photography. The markets are usually very colorful and interesting. This was one of the markets in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Thabo & Lineo celebrated their wedding at Tuscan Rose. Sunset time still stays my favorite to end off the couple photo session.
Capturing the little ones at six months are very special, especially if they are as friendly as this little one.
I had the privilege to do a studio wedding shoot with the newly wedded couple.
I enjoyed having a challenge of a theme shoot with a bike. Great fun with smoke and colored gels.
Singapore has so many opportunities for night scene photography.

I had a bit of fun with water droplets. I tried out some new lighting techniques and playing around with the effects of different color filters in combination with the lighting.
Wishing you a blessed Christmas. This is the newest member in our family, Rexie.
"A Supermoon happens when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth; also called perigee. A Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than its counterpart, the Micromoon. The Supermoon on November 14, 2016, was the closest since January 26, 1948. The next time a Full Moon will come even closer to Earth is on November 25, 2034 (dates based on UTC time)." (www.timeanddate.com)
We went to London one evening while we were in the UK earlier this year. This was one of my night shots of St Paul’s Cathedral.
I had the privilege to photograph, my younger brother, Roelof and his wife, Roz’s wedding. Congratulations!! It was very special for me. It was also my first UK wedding.
Hever Castle is located in the village of Hever, Kent, near Edenbridge, 48 km south-east of London, England. It began as a country house, built in the 13th century. From 1462 to 1539 it was the seat of the Boleyn, originally ‘Bullen’, family.
Anne Boleyn, the second queen consort of King Henry VIII of England, spent her early youth there, after her father, Thomas Boleyn had inherited it in 1505. He had been born there in 1477, and the castle passed to him upon the death of his father, Sir William Boleyn. It later came into the possession of King Henry’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. In the 21st century the castle is a tourist attraction (Wiki).
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built in 1886–1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London (Wiki).
