ARPS #6 – The Esplanade At Dusk

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?

Exposure information: Camera – Canon Powershot G3, ISO 50, 35mm effective FL – 39mm, Shutter – 13 seconds, Aperture – f/2.8, Metering Mode: Pattern, Flash – Off

ARPS #5 – Spikes

Lest you think that all the pictures in my ARPS panel are nature/floral pics…

This was taken at the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, which by now should be a familiar icon to all Singaporeans. A shot with some difference though compared to most waterfront shots of the Esplanade flooding the Internet. I took this at the foot of the Esplanade building using the natural spike-like patterns of the palm leaves to contrast with the man-made spikes of the Esplanade. The unusual angle was of no problem since I was able to compose easily thanks to the flip-out-and-twist LCD screen of my Powershot G3.
