This was taken outside Scarlet Hotel at Erskine Road, Singapore. We celebrated our second marriage-registration anniversary with a dinner at the hotel’s restaurant after I read this review. I came across the above scene after our sumptuous dinner. Not having brought my usual kit/tripod then, the Canon S5 IS’s image stabilisation feature certainly came in handy, although this advantage was offset by its high noise level at ISO 400 (relative to my 20D). Thankfully, I have been able to reduce the noise in post-processing. I have also added a sepia filter-effect to what was essentially a monochromatic scene.
I noticed that I have been getting visitors to my photoblog but hardly any feedback or comment of late. Too busy to leave a comment? If you like my pictures, try rating them easily by clicking on the stars at the bottom of the post! I appreciate your feedback! 🙂
Hi hi,
This is a nice capture of lights and shadows. The framing is great! it’ll be useful to stretch the tonal range alittle to include the “darkest of shadows” to add some punch to this. =)
Hi jcyrhs, long time no see! 🙂 Thanks for the comments. I guess a revisit to the same place might be a good idea (with better equipment of course). The S5’s tonal range is generally good, but with no RAW mode, I’m not sure how much further I can push the processing of the shot without introducing extra noise and artifacts.
