Photo of the Month (October 2024)
Photographed on 28 October 2024 at Bayfront Avenue (Singapore). EXIF: 18mm, f/11, 160 secs, ISO 100. “Photo of the Month” for October is another Singapore skyline, but with a slightly different take this time by including the Louis Vuitton Island Store in the frame. This wasn’t my planned shot, though. The surface of the water …
Achieving Sharp Long Exposures: Try L-Bracket with Tripod for Your Vertical Shots
When I started photographing cityscapes with a few minutes of long exposure, I took almost all shots horizontally (in landscape orientation), but this has changed in recent years, and I now shoot most of my cityscapes vertically (in portrait orientation).

Photo of the Month (August 2024)
Photographed on 27 August 2024 at Singapore CBD. EXIF: 22mm, f/5.6, 256 secs, ISO 100. Choosing a photo for August’s “Photo of the Month” was a no-brainer. It was a perfect day with “the good sky” and “the calm water” (for clear reflections), two prerequisites for any decent waterfront cityscapes. Ticking either one alone isn’t …

2023 Top 5 Photos of the Year
My top 5 lineup of 2023 is a little weak, to be honest. The first two are my favorites and are included in the Top 40 Photo Gallery, but I couldn’t make the full lineup with blue hour cityscapes only, so I included a Squidward photo to make up the numbers.
