Clouds help me line my shot

Wynnard Quarter (Auckland, 2014) 

Whenever I take landscapes or just photographs that feature skies, I always try to get the clouds to line up in the framing. I guess that's one of the piece of advice that Reimund Zunde (my mentor) taught me that has stuck with me till today (ALWAYS line up your shots! - Rei)

Street photograph of waiting cyclist on Chapel Street, Melbourne, Australia. 

Shot in 2013 on the NIkon D3 at f11, 28mm

I have always enjoyed shooting cyclists in the city. Different styles, different riders. Never the same.

The cool taxi driver (Kuala Lumpur , 2013)

A sad moment. This photograph was taken in May last year, when me and my friend (Michael Raj) were photographing around Pavilion Shopping Mall, Kuala Lumpur.  

This taxi driver was waiting for passengers beside us and we were amused how he kept himself cool from the sun. After some small talk, he agreed to be photographed, under one condition - that he be photographed with his new sunnies! (That's an Oakley Holbrook, mind you) 

I later gave my card to him and he said his wife will email me to get the photo.

A few days ago I got an email from the wife. And when I asked how he was, his wife told me that the Uncle had passed away last year (in December) after suffering a heart attack while waiting for passengers. And she had been looking (and finally found) my card so that she could get this photograph for the family. 

The funny thing about this photograph was that I had already deleted all of the photos I took on that day, except this one. I guess I was waiting for the wife to email me. Just wished it was under different circumstances.

Rest in peace Uncle Thomas Chia. Keep rocking the sunnies in heaven.

Sunset silhouette (Yarra's Edge, 2012)

The sunset silhouette. Building I photographed in Yarra's Edge in Docklands Melbourne. Shot during summer in twilight, Australia has one of the most beautiful sunsets ever. Shot with the Canon 60D with the 24-105mm lens. 

One of my more favourite photographs.

If you go down this way...(Flinders St, 2012)

Shot with the Canon 300mm L f4 lens on Flinders Street, Melbourne

Initially wanted to do a diptych, but it looks better on its own, with its twin of course ;)

Hope you like them

Overloaded: White Night Melbourne 2014

Taken during White Night Melbourne 2014. Didn't photograph much due to the fact it was overcrowded with people. Was still fun though. Hope it gets better next year. Shot in black and white because I got bored seeing WNM in colour. Hahaha. 

Best, Elyas
