SnapIt!! (Kuala Tungkal Feb 2014)

Currently I am on trip back to hometown. There is no great architectures to shoot nor any amazing landscape. Located next to the seaside, Kuala Tungkal is a good location for sunrise/sunset photography. 

I have decided to strol around the ferry terminal one morning hunting for good spot for sunrise. I found this good spot with wooden jetty to be the the mid-ground object in the scene and little reflection of the sun shine on the sea water. The entire scene feels pleasant for the start of a day. I always believe that in order to have a great day, it has to start with something warm and pleasant. And this photo is exactly what I feel.

SnapIt!! (Chinatown 24 Jan 2014)

Chinese New Year is around the corner. Year 2014 is the year of horse. Chinatown Singapore is lighted up with horse lanterns and 1000 of giant ancient coin lantern. The theme for this year's CNY festival is "Galloping to Prosperity". We have been strolling around the Chinatown area and found a few good spots for night photos. Here's the results. Enjoy!!

Galloping to Prosperity

Giant Ancient Coin Lanterns

 Lesson Learnt:
1) Explore the area to find different spot
2) Take time to compose
3) Try different perspective
4) Light trails not necessary a plus point for night scene
5) Take note of horizon during post processing

SnapIt!! (Marina Barrage - 18 Jan 2014)

Finally, I made a trip to explore the other part of Marina, the Marina Barrage. The night view from the top of the building is magnificent. The wind is so strong, yet so many people enjoying the city view of Singapore from its top. It's the perfect location for some great night shoots. Here's some of the photos.

Synchronicity

Serenity

Lesson Learnt:
1) Night photo looks better with different colour
2) Stop down 1 stop to prevent overexpose of neon lights
3) Adjust angle and perspective

SnapIt!! (MBS - HDR)

The last few weeks, I have been busy with works and too tired to get out there to shoot. I spent most of the time in front of my computer working on my HDR photos. I took whole lots of bracketing images at Merlion Park during the sunrise and I am really glad I did that. Here's another HDR photo I took at the Merlion Park. Compared to the non-HDR version, this one IMO gives a different feeling to it. Enjoy!!

SnapIt!! (MBS Sunrise - HDR)

I took a lot of bracketing images yesterday morning at MBS for my HDR practice. Here's one of them.

Comparing with the single exposure image, the details of the building is more visible.
