Environment Friendly

Photo Taken at : Mangroves @ Pasir Ris Park

Review : A friend of mine introduce me to this place.The whole area was covered with mud and roots all over, luckily it has a walkway construct on top of it. so it basically walking on top of a bridge. (won't want to get my legs dirty covered with mud.) Spotting of wild life was difficult as the creature are well blend in to their environment.This (photo on top) was taken near the walkway, i had to position my body out of the bridge to get the shot.

Things i like in this photo:

• Reflection in the water
• Depth of field (D.O.F)
• Shadow casting
• Texture & Detail

Tips : When taking a picture try to take numerous shot and angle, so as to have a wide range of selective picture.
