Lunar New Year 2010

This year is the Year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar and the Pentax gang took some time off to capture the color and the sights of Chinatown. Here's a sampling of some of my belated Lunar New Year images.

Early Morning At The Beach

My son was at the beach for his triathlon training at dawn and while he was doing his swim to cycle transitions, I briefly slipped away to grab these quick shots with the DA 50-200mm WR on the K-7. Even as the sun was rising off the horizon, I can well imagine air traffic controllers busy directing planes as they made their final approach towards Changi Airport. I particularly like the colors in this shot.

Here a young mother walks hand in hand with her young kids against the backdrop of glistening golden reflections. The boat in the background adds to the depth in this telephoto shot.
