[candycaine] sights and sounds of singapore

[candycaine]

I love the #1, 2, 7... and most of the recent shots.

Felt for #8 maybe a square crop might look good too :dunno:

Hi wildcat,

Thanks a lot for your compliments and support! I don't think a square crop would be good for #8 because the photo would look too crammed. Also, I think the scene at Upper Seletar has a very cinematic feel... for me, 16:9 seems to work best

I like how you processed #2 and made it look like it's not usual of Singapore. . I recently saw a set of photos on flickr that post processes heartland shots in the same theme of colours/tone. Very nice

I face a similar dilemma in #9, instead mine's because I don't like how the trees in our reservoirs looks like in shots - very hard to compose a photo of the sky when they are in it. Personally I don't like how they look in photos. haha!

By the way, what equipment do you shoot with?

Hi chucklestoself,

Thanks very much for your kind compliments! I think the trees look okay... the canoe lanes in the Macritchie water just make the water look very... messy and cluttered!!!

My equipment list is not particularly interesting:
Olympus E620
14-42mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens
40-150mm f4-5.6 kit lens
Hoya ND8, CPL

I think.. that's all. I have a Tianya GND which I don't use often, because I prefer to do exposure blending.

Although this scene has been shot quite a number of times, and I hope this photo gives it a different flavour from what already is out there. My first impression of this scene was that it's pretty cinematic- seems like it's out of a movie like The Lake House or something. Tried to capture/bring out that mood with the crop and processing.

Enjoy!​

Hi Candycaine,
Very lovely pictures..... Maybe we should form a student's thread (Young Sun Chaser). something like that...
I will also soon post some landscape - Sunrise & Sunset for C&C

Hi,

Thank you! I don't usually use my tele-lens, but I thought it would do the job better here

Have a nice day!

Hey candycaine,

Wonderful series! Very good on ya for bringing out the beauty of MacRitchie Reservior.

Staying around Balestier area and have been to MacRitchie a few times to do some morning exercise but didn't really see anything spectacular. Guess you have sharp eye for details.

Maybe can all come out and shoot together someday ya?

Keep it up!
