Light is
such a beautiful thing, be it soft or harsh. It has the ability to give photos
a totally different feel. It's almost like magic. I guess that's why they're
called the magic light.
Singapore was hit with weeks of haze when the annual burning of forests in
Indonesia started again inevitably. We were faced with thick fog-like haze with
barely any sunlight making it through. There was no magic light or golden hours
for the whole time the haze was around. It had its perks too. Taking photos was
made easy on the streets without the need of constantly fumbling through the
settings. Photos taken during the period of the haze also made it seemed as if
we had fog here too in Singapore, which is something we don't get every day.
But things are only appreciated after they're gone. While it was easy to take
photos on the street, I missed the sunlight that produced shadows and being
able to play with the light and shadows. My photos didn't feel as alive to me
as they did with plenty of light in it. It seemed ridiculous to me that I once
complained of how hot the weather was when the sun was out. Now, the haze has
cleared, thanks to a heavy downpour that washed it all away. And I have come to
appreciate the sunlight more than ever, embracing it as they shine down on
me.
