hmm.. dont think all those are necessary for me.. i wont be there long enough to prepare everything:sweat: :bsmilie:Mezzotint said:I can see there are no roadside lamp posts or any other light sources and it'll be in total darkness in that area. Hahaha...no doubts it'll be super eerie but dun let yr mind plays tricks on you. All one need to do is to prepare well for some of the essential equipments and tools i.e. insect repellents, strong torch light like Maglite or fluorescent lamp (Energizer 3-in-1 light is cheap) to find yr way and jot down notes on exposures, many spare batteries, safari stool (optional but you need to sit & wait during the long exposure timing), water bottle (to quench yr thrist). The rest are yr camera & lenses, flashlight, notebook, stop-watch, tripod and so on.
Always prepare one important thing with you on such night trips, keep a list of telephone numbers especially the authority help lines (in this case Sentosa security department, if there's any), should any case of emergency or mishaps occur. Never travel alone for night photography. Travel in a small group of 5 persons is just nice.
Most importantly, enjoy the night sceneries and night shootings.

Well said :thumbsup:Mezzotint said:Well that's becuz you're lazy, aren't you? Or maybe you don't bother abt it at all. No hard feelings mate.
I'm talking abt shooting in films for super long exposure timing. With much perseverance and persistence, you make the trip more worthy being well-prepared and most importantly know what you want and what to look for in yr night shooting.
Most photographers think night photography are not applicable to them not to mention of their likings & dislikings. They simply put their cameras away and "call it a day" after sunset. There's always cliches such as "what's there to shoot in the night?" or "So boring!" etc etc. No wonder there are lotsa sunset pictures posted in this forum. On the other hand, some photographers at some point get curious and wander into the darkness with camera and tripod in hand.
However shooting night photography digitally can still be done with, of cuz lotsa experiments to get the right exposures and thereafter some post-editing in Photoshop. Though night photography is nothing new it has the ability to take a scene and cast it in an unusual light - much like the golden hour surrounding sunrise and sunset can add an element of mood and uniqueness to a sunlit scene. The most magical thing about the night is the element of surprise. One can never be sure of what will happen when the shutter opens after dark. Overall it still lies in the photographer himself on how he sees with his creative mind to compose his night shots. No 2 images are alike, as each interprets differently from different photographers.

Slivester said:Yeah, I was just quite forunate to find it while being bored down by the class gathering, and went cycling with another friend.
We went up a slope-cycling track from a rental shop not far away from the rear exit of Costa Sands Resort (where signs said "get off and walk - steep slope"), and exit to cycle on hilly roads. We just kept going forward, until we reach the first abandoned house. That one looked new. We move on, and was nearly a steep downhill before I spotted this gem.
There are no barriers, no warning signs or anything that prevent us from entering. The house's interior is dark, and creeping with lots of ants. I got tonnes of bites for wearing shorts.
