guess what this is? from a different perspective, the work of the merlion (see other photo of the merlion). Water and light can be such a mystifying duo. Graininess (thanks to this vintage scanner of mine) is rather suitable this time round in my own opinion. Like light breaking forth in the heavens. To the astronauts of the Shuttle Columbia. God's speed.
thanks! the flash of light is actually a spotlight planted in the shallow waters to light up the merlion statue in the night. incidentally, i stumbled onto this position behind the statue and composed this. By shifting myself, i managed to get the shaft of light shining directly into the ejected water hitting the surface. if i didnt remember wrongly, it was a 4 sec exposure.
i fiddled a little of the contrast in MS picture-it, to give the colour saturation. Cheating, i know!
This photo is almost out of this world! I can only begin to imagine what it could actually be. Great effect with the water, but where did that flash of light come from?
