Like last year, this year’s Singapore Night Festival also features several light installations spread over the festival grounds. This year, some of the installations introduced interactive elements, allowing the visitors to be a part of the artwork instead of just being passive displays. Here are some of them I visited over the last weekend. The… Continue reading Singapore Night Festival 2013: Night Lights

Supermoon Redux
Last year, I set out to shoot the Supermoon but it was thwarted by the cloudy weather and I came home without any shots of it. This year, the Supermoon came by again and I decided to give it another go. However, irresponsible Indonesian farmers decided to use the ancient “Slash and burn” technique of… Continue reading Supermoon Redux
A Very Different Marina Bay
A little over 9 years ago, a group of photographers and myself got into a room at the Swissotel the Stamford to do a shoot of the skyline at a high vantage point. It was slightly hazy and overcast, but thankfully cleared up by the evening and we were able to get some decent night… Continue reading A Very Different Marina Bay
Photographing Lightning
It was a dark and stormy night. Frequent bolts of lightning lit up the night sky followed by the rumble of thunder. I never really captured lightning with my camera so I decided to give it a try and quickly set up my camera on the tripod and pointed it out of the window.
Exhibited at SXSW 2013
About two weeks before the South by Southwest (SXSW) 2013 event held in Austin, Texas, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a Flickr Mail from Flickr‘s marketing manager, Theresa Nguyen. Flickr has come across my photo (above) and would like to showcase it in their gallery at Brazos Hall at SXSW and asked me for… Continue reading Exhibited at SXSW 2013

Moonset Over Marina Bay Sands
I was at Gardens by the Bay when I saw a crescent moon floating just above the Skypark of the building. Having brought along my Nikon 1 V1 and no tripod, I set the ISO to 1600 and snapped a couple of shots and it turned up pretty decently. It’s later when I checked a… Continue reading Moonset Over Marina Bay Sands
