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 …
Photo of the Month (October 2022)
Photo of the Month (October 2022) This is the same place where I took my POTM for February, which is the front-runner for the best photo of 2022. I’ve always wanted to shoot 1 or 2mm wider here, but this is the widest I can go with my 18-35mm lens, unfortunately. 😅
Photo of the Month (September 2022)
Photo of the Month (September 2022) I skipped POTM in August, as there wasn’t anything worthy of it. 😅 This is the first decent photo taken with Nikon Z 6II that I finally upgraded to last month!
Photo of the Month (July 2022)
Photo of the Month (July 2022) This is the view opposite of the city centre. The road next to the river is my favourite bike path leading to Gardens by the Bay East and Marina Barrage. 😀
Photo of the Month (June 2022)
Photo of the Month (June 2022) Photographed on 26 June 2022 at Gardens by the Bay (Singapore). Followed by May’s POTM, June’s POTM is also Gardens by the Bay photo, but shot from a different spot. Personally, I prefer this spot more, because this is the sun-setting side of the sky with Singapore Flyer included. …
Photo of the Month (May 2022)
Photo of the Month (May 2022) Photographed on 29 May 2022 at Gardens by the Bay (Singapore). When I shoot on weekends, I don’t go to CBD, as not many office buildings are lit up. So, my typical choice is this Gardens by the Bay, as these Supertrees are always lit up on weekends. At …
Photo of the Month (April 2022)
Photo of the Month (April 2022) Photographed on 21 April 2022 at Esplanade (Singapore). I skipped POTM in March, as there wasn’t any worthy photo. 😅 For April, I’ve got one that is a clear choice (to me)! For years, I always shot this Singapore CBD view in landscape orientation, but have recently started shooting …
Photo of the Month (February 2022)
Photo of the Month (February 2022) Photographed on 18 February 2022 at Esplanade (Singapore). I shot from this spot a number of times before, but all in landscape orientation, so this was the first time shooting vertically and quite liked it! 😃 In fact, although it’s still in February, I’d say that this photo will …
Photo of the Month (January 2022)
Photo of the Month (January 2022) Photographed on 14 January 2022 at Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (Singapore). I previously shot this temple in Chinatown a few times, but this was the first time I saw the temple lit up, probably because of the upcoming Chinese New Year. I shot this view from the 12th floor …
