It was a slow Saturday afternoon. I didn’t plan for anything much. I was walking aimlessly around the rooftop garden at Orchard Central when I chanced upon this sculpture by Victor Tan. This sculpture is part of a series of 5 figures contoured from steel wires, titled “The Stair, The Clouds and The Sky” that dot the open space on the 12th floor of this shopping mall.
As usual people were engrossed in taking selfies with the sculpture, more than they were appreciating how the sculpture and granite stairwell framed against the sky. The woman walking up the stairs had just taking her mandatory selfie with the sculpture, and was joining her companions on the upper level to take more selfies with the other sculptures. Alas the 3pm sun makes it pretty challenging to take a decent picture. Harsh light from the sun is a pain… Well that isn’t too much an issue with me, I take pictures at all times in the day. Well… With a little help from my circular polarizer! 🙂
Picture taken with my Fuji X-T1 paired with the XF 23mm f1.4 R lens and the Zeiss circular polarizer, with very minor tweaks. It’s my staple combination for this body, works well within my casual daily use.
