Slow-shutter pictures with motion-blurring effect
Another of the light trial shots I took recently at the Pan-Island Expressway/Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway interchange… I like this particular one for the panaromic effect compared to my previous post. The trick in taking this was waiting for vehicles to come and run by all the flyovers and sliproads so that these paths can be lit up in the final shot.
I got this idea from the latest issue of Photography Monthly. Taking the passenger seat of my car for a change, I asked CY to drive instead while I experimented with long-exposure shots. It wasn’t easy keeping the camera steady at all and I wished that I could have managed to get a sharper rendition of the dashboard instead. I will definitely try this some time in the near future again 🙂
I have been wanting to revisit this stretch of the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) where construction of the new Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) has been going on. When the KPE project is complete, this area will see the opening of Singapore’s first “spaghetti junction”, so-called because of the network of intertwining roads and fly-overs. I was wishing for a little bit of rain on the road to add some reflections and atmosphere when I took this last evening. Despite the absence of rain eventually, I was pretty happy with some of the shots I got.
