Glowing bright and beautiful in the darkness of night
A more typical view of the Esplanade but with a slightly different touch! Taken at dusk, a long 13 second exposure gave brilliant saturated blues to the skies. Notice the streaks of light and white blobs on the water? What do you think these are?

Australians love their Sydney Opera House… Singaporeans love their Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. I think this classical night scene of the Esplanade had become a must-visit for many Singaporeans (and tourists alike) with digital cameras. I should know… This is my third visit with there with a another new digital camera!
This particular one was taken at a slightly earlier time compared to the others. As usual, a passing bumboat (loaded with tourists) provided the “special-effect” streak across the foreground. The lone flash light from someone onboard the boat provided an interesting sparkle of light.
Exposure information: Canon EOS 20D, Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, Shutter – 8 seconds, Aperture – f/11.0, ISO 100, Exposure Mode – Manual, Metering Mode – Evaluative, Captured in RAW and processed with CaptureONE 3.6 LE
