The Decisive Moment

I took these two pictures during National Day Parade this year. I was one of the participants so i managed to get a lot of nice photos of all the behind-the-scenes preparations of the performers.

We were all taking photographs with one another as it was the last preview before the actual parade itself. We also went about helping other people take photos. I took this photo of a friend taking photo of another two friends as we were 'fighting' to see who take that photograph. In the end she took the photo and i only manage to capture her taking the photo.
Rule of thirds and The Triangle applied.


This photo was taken on 8 August itself. I was done with my make-up and all and went around taking photographs of others. I captured this photo of my friend having someone putting make-up on her face.
Rule of thirds applied.



I took the next two pictures in Sentosa. The rain just cleared and the sky was still overcast so i figured it was better to take photos in black and white instead of in colour because the colours in the photo would look dull.

The guys were in the water and were trying to lift one guy up to do a flip.
I took the photo with them slightly off centre and zoom-in until no one else was in the background so as to give a negative space.
Rule of thirds and Negative Space applied.



My friends played a friendly match of captain ball and instead of joining in, i figured i could take some photos and i managed to capture this photo. The defender was trying to block the ball flying towards the captain and it shows Decisive Moment.
Rule of thirds applied.
