Trip to Labrador Park.

On Sunday, I went to Labrador Park to take a look at the place. I often see photos of the rocky beach shore and wanted to take a look at it myself. There was a lot more than I expected there, and some disappointments. 

I believe I saw a path of a nature trail there, but I didn't have the time to venture. My parents and I took I walk along the shore, which is blocked up by railings probably cause it's pretty steep and rocky. There are some ancient war relics there, but I didn't stop to read about it. To my disappointment, I found out that the jetty and the beach front were closed off for safety reasons. :(

My father is a blogger and here he is busy snapping shots for his blog, http://www.gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/.





Here's a shot of my parents. [awwwww.... :)]


Of course I have to have photos of the famous rocky shore. This is the first time I'm trying out manual mode. All the while I've been using Aperture mode. I actually wanted to have those soft waters effect, so I decreased the shutter speed and increased the aperture. But I ended up with an overexposed photo. :/ I used Lightroom to get this effect. 


The other problem I had was that the photos are blur because I did not bring my tripod, so the slight shake resulted in the blurring. :(





At this portion of the shore, the waves were rougher, giving those splashes when it hits the rocky shore. So I decided to try to capture the impact instead of having the soft waters.






Wandering further in the area, I found a maze (made out of wooden pillars?) in the sandy playground. Thought I might get some interesting shots.



As the sun was setting, the lighting was getting better and I found a few trees where only portions of it were illuminated by the sun light. I asked my Mum to stand where the light was and out came these photos. :)




As were we leaving, I realised that the setting sun was really making the photos so beautiful due to the lighting. I had to get my Dad to stop for one last shot. He was laughing at something we said and out came this very natural shot. 


 Hope you enjoyed looking at the photos! I do welcome feedback, but I have not gotten by chatbox up yet, sorry about that. I'll do it soon! :)
