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
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
Marina Bay Sands At Dusk (Or How I Failed to Shoot the Supermoon.)
I had originally set out to shoot the Supermoon which is supposed to happen on the 5th and 6th of May 2012. With some research and help from YS and excellent tools like Google Earth, we found that the moon will rise at about 6:20pm on 5 May 2012, at an azimuth of 106°. With… Continue reading Marina Bay Sands At Dusk (Or How I Failed to Shoot the Supermoon.)
Dawn of a New Day
On this brand new day of this brand new year 2012, David, Kit and I, along with several ClubSnappers went for a morning shoot. We went to the waterfront in front of the Artscience Museum at the Marina Bay Sands to shoot the Singapore Skyline. I usually prefer the view over from the Esplanade Theatre… Continue reading Dawn of a New Day
Daybreak at Bay East Gardens
Situated near Tanjong Rhu, the Bay East Gardens is part of the massive Gardens By the Bay project which is dubbed the “Garden In the City” by the Singapore Government. As part of the 2010 Youth Olympics, an interim garden was developed on Bay East and it’s fronted by a 2km promenade which faces the… Continue reading Daybreak at Bay East Gardens
Morning Shoot with YS
Went on another early morning shoot with YS at the amphitheatre of the Esplanade. On this day, the waters aren’t as still as one of my earlier shoots, but it’s still a reasonably good time to shoot the Marina Bay Sands and the skyline as the water is still calmer compared to the evening. The… Continue reading Morning Shoot with YS
Marina Bay Sands Skypark
Went up the Marina Bay Sands Skypark, hoping to catch some shots during the magic hour. However, I did not expect a long and slow queue which took more than 20 minutes due to printer failure at 3 out of the 4 counters. To top that off, I was told my Manfrotto 190B tripod was… Continue reading Marina Bay Sands Skypark
Early Morning Shoot at Merlion Park
Joined Kit and several other ClubSNAP members this morning. As I found out from an earlier trip, the waters are stiller in the early hours, resulting in near-perfect reflections. This is shot at about 6:30am, just before the Merlion water jet is turned on. Here’s a slightly tigher crop. As the day breaks, I decided… Continue reading Early Morning Shoot at Merlion Park
