Photo of the Month (April 2023)
Photo of the Month (April 2023) Photographed on 4 April 2023 at Helix Bridge (Singapore). April’s POTM comes from my bogey spot where I previously tried many times with no satisfactory result (especially in portrait orientation). My previous attempts had no or very subtle reflections, but finally I’ve got something I’m happy with. 😀 I’m …
Tulipmania at Gardens by the Bay (Singapore)
This is my rare flower photo taken inside Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, which is also my favourite local spot to shoot long exposure photography at blue hour. By the way, this photo was shot with Olympus PEN E-PL10 using M.Zuiko 45mm (f/1.8) lens. Whenever I shoot cityscapes at blue hour, I’m …
Making of a Photograph: Part 9 – Singapore Skyline with Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
This photo of Singapore Skyline with Buddha Tooth Relic Temple was photographed during the week leading up to Chinese New Year in January 2022. I shot it from a corridor of an HDB (public housing) flat located behind the temple, which is quite a popular photography spot among local photography enthusiasts and even tourists. In …
Photo of the Month (March 2023)
Photo of the Month (March 2023) Photographed on 28 March 2023 at Esplanade (Singapore). I skipped POTM for February, as there wasn’t any good photo to share. 😅 I previously shot from this spot many times, but my first time trying to include the whole CBD skyline (as I’ve always excluded those few buildings on …
Making of a Photograph: Part 8 – Singapore Skyline from Esplanade
This photo of Singapore skyline was shot in February 2022, and was my most favourite photo of the year. When I took this picture, I knew instantly that it’d top the list for the year (although it was still February), and it did, as you can see in my Top 5 Photos of 2022 post. …
Making of a Photograph: Part 6 – Singapore Skyline with Merlion
This is my most favourite version of Singapore skyline with “Merlion” (a mythical creature with a lion’s head and the body of a fish), which is probably among Singapore’s best-known landmarks. Normally, I’m a bit reluctant to come here (Merlion viewing platform) and shoot, as the place is always crowded with tourists, which makes it …
Photo of the Month (January 2023)
Photo of the Month (January 2023) Photographed on 17 January 2023 at Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (Singapore). POTM is back after skipping November and December 2022, as there wasn’t any worthy photo to post. 😅 In recent years, I came here to shoot the temple + cityscapes during Chinese New Year weeks, as the temple …
Making of a Photograph: Part 4 – Singapore Skyline from Esplanade
This is a signature view of Singapore photographed back in February 2019. I’ve shot this same view for uncountable times (probably between 50 and 100 times) so far, but this edition is my most favourite, although reflections of city lights are a bit weak. 😀 I have some other photos shot at the same spot …
Making of a Photograph: Part 2 – Marina Bay (Singapore)
This photo was shot at Gardens by the Bay East back in January 2017. 6 years on, I feel it’s still my personal best to date and the only photo that I’ve purchased a canvas print to hang on my wall. 😅 On that very day, the sky, the light, and reflections all came together …
Top 5 Photos of 2022
It’s this time of the year again! As with the last two years, all top 5 photos were photographed locally in Singapore (although I travelled overseas a few times this year). The first photo (that I consider the best) was shot back in February, and I instantly knew that this photo was going to top …
