I was going through my Twitter feed on my iPhone today morning when I came across a tweet from National Geographic (@natgeo) featuring a collection of reader-submitted Supermoon photos. As I had also submitted a few of mine to them as part of their #supermoon weekend hashtag assignment, I clicked through to see if by… Continue reading Featured On National Geographic’s Web Site and Flickr Blog

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.

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
Moon Passing Jupiter
I saw the half moon in the very clear sky tonight and decided to take a photo of it. Using a Nikon FT-1 adaptor, I mounted my Nikkor AF 80-200mm f/2.8D ED-IF to my Nikon 1 V1 to get as much magnification as possible. This combination gives an effective focal length of 540mm, which actually… Continue reading Moon Passing Jupiter
Tokyo From Above
Being a metropolitan city, Tokyo has many skyscrapers, a few of which provides tourists access to an observation deck where they can take in the city view from a high vantage point. I’ve always loved going up tall buildings and other structures when I get the chance to, as I loved viewing a place from high… Continue reading Tokyo From Above
Moonset Over the Esplanade
I was on the seating gallery of the Marina Bay Floating Platform to shoot a panorama of the River Hongbao 2013. As I started to pack up, I caught sight of a crescent moon above the dome of the Esplanade – Theatres by the Bay. Not wanting to miss the shot, I quickly set up… Continue reading Moonset Over the Esplanade
