Crepuscular Rays Over Upper Seletar Reservoir

D700 70-300mm @ 98 ISO400 f/11 1/1000

Crepuscular rays are often seen through the narrow breaks that separate strato cummulus. From the huge collection of photography books available at the National Library, I had picked up "Photographing Weather" by Storm Dunlop some time ago. The book inspired me to experiment when the light was going to be right. Here it was.

This is a detail of the van used to supply the bunker fuel to the boats kept off the jetties at the kampong. I liked the soft color combination.

The Weighing Scale - Singapore Kampong Life

The kampong is mostly populated by fishermen and boat keepers. This scale might still be used to weigh the catch. A play on color and depth of field here.
