Pet portrait done from photo.

A4 size pet portrait.
Medium used: Soft-pastel on white paper.
Client's purpose: Personal collection.

The owner of this dog did this portrait so that he could display it proudly in his living hall. As a memory too when it's no longer with him. To date, most of the pet portraits I did were dogs. I guess people like to keep dogs as pet more compared to other animals. They are also willing to spend for their pets' need. As you can see in this picture the way the owner dress it up, it's not surprising that he would spend on a hand painted portrait for the sake of owning it.

Photography-Lower Seletar Reservoir.

I was driving around Yishun area on a Sunday late noon recently with my buddy Henry Foong to hunt for something to shoot. We came across this place that has some satelite dishes & a pond. As we went nearer, we discovered that this was an interesting place for photography. There were motorboats floating around as well as a few mini jetties. We could also see the satelite dishes opposite the reservoir. Apart from that, the golf course of Orchid Country Club was visible from quite a distance away.
After surveying the area for a while, we started to set up our tripods to try some shots while waiting for the sunset. Sunset came & gone, we've had some nice shots in our pockets. Happily headed for our dinner before going home.
For this session, I used my Sony DSLR A700 with my latest lens SAL 50mm f1.4.
