Long Exposure Cityscape Photography at Blue Hour

2025 Top 5 Photos of the Year

It’s that time of the year again! I managed to fill the five slots, but it was a challenging year, especially shooting locally in Singapore, because the water around Marina Bay was almost always choppy, making it hard to capture clean reflections of the city lights.

On the bright side, I’m excited to include a photo taken in Tokyo (3rd one). It was my first visit to Tokyo with a proper camera, since I hadn’t taken up photography as a hobby when I last went there in 2008. πŸ˜… As a cityscape photographer, Tokyo has a special place in my heart, especially since I’m originally from Japan, and I’m already looking forward to going back! For more from this trip, see my post: Tokyo Calling (2025).

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy holiday season πŸŽ„ and all the best in the new year!

Great shots Joey, my favorite is the second one as it’s a view I don’t see as often plus the exposure and contrast are beautiful!

    Thanks, Daniel! I never shot that view before 2025. πŸ˜… Hopefully, I’ll find something new this year, too!
