A once in a blue moon event! A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, and it is doubly rare that this December it falls on New Year’s eve. I was at Monument Valley to shoot this rare occasion. I was out at sunset and waited for the moon to rise [...]

It is rare to see cumulus clouds like these over the Singapore skyline. I was at home on Saturday and managed to capture the dramatic clouds changing with the evening light. Quite a spectacular sight!
