Glowing bright and beautiful in the darkness of night
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 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.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! Otherwise known as Moon Festival, Mooncake Festival, Lantern Festival or ä¸ç§‹èŠ‚ (pinyin: zhÅngqiÅ«jié), Chinese family members and friends will traditionally gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together. Children join in the festivities by carrying brightly-lit lanterns — I remember the traditional candle-lit ones that Grandma used to buy us, which in my opinion, was much more fun to play with (especially if they caught fire! :P) compared to the battery-lit ones of today. As part of the celebrations, the Chinese Gardens in Singapore has put up impressive display of large lanterns to lure in the crowd. I was there over the weekend with Mum and CY to soak in the festivities (as well as to take some pictures).
