Weekly Photo Challenge: Shine ( Through Trees and Leaves 6 )

This week’s photo challenge is Shine.

I like photographing against the light; in particular I like photographing trees and leaves against in coming light.

If the camera is set as Automatic, this usually poses a problem as the light sensor will sense there is strong light and the aperture will automatically reduce, giving a picture which is too dark.

I intend to upload a series of photos which has been shot against the light.

Here is a photo taken in a Chinese garden in Zhangjiajie; or was it a scene in the movie On Golden Pond? Haha!

Please enjoy!

Here is a photo taken up in the hills of  South Korea in the Autumn. I have never published it as it contains too much yellow and gold colors. Ideally, I like pictures like this with a balance of green or other colors; on this one, it not only shines, it glitters.

Please enjoy!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Shine ( Through Dark Clouds )

This week’s photo challenge is Shine.

I like pictures which show a lot of contrast.

This picture taken on the eastern side of the New Territories in Hong Kong illustrates my point.

Dark clouds hung over but penetrated by colorful light.

This is another view from Kowloon Bay, on the Eastern side of Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The sun has set but still sending some of its colorful rays up, shining through the clouds.

 It is a spectacular view of the Hong Kong Island with the beautiful streaks of clouds and high rises as the background. In the foreground are some coastal rocks.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Shine ( on the Anglers )

This week’s photo challenge is Shine.

Do you mind the sun shining hard on you when you are fishing?

Not at all, I suppose.

The sun reflected from the sea as if it was a mirror of gold.

These anglers have got their caps on or holding their umbrellas. It won’t deter them from their fishing.
