Laser Night
Manually blended over 20 exposures taken on Pentax K5IIs+Sigma 10-20
Debut photo taken on my K5IIs and it is the first time I buy a first-hand camera since the 1000D. Finally a setup I can call my own, I feel.
Decided to go crazy on this. Spammed the shutter so much, the camera hang for awhile as it couldn't cope with the number of exposures recorded. The lasers blended was so much that I created two separate laser show layers and used one of them and blended with the blue hour shot to get this. Enjoy.

Nice work! Personally would prefer lesser green on the left , the river trail is nice leading lines into the MBS. Just my 2 cents

This is the cat (same as #25) whom always come over to my car when I stop below my girlfriend's block, or wait there every night at the same time I send my girlfriend home and comes over to my leg when I step out of the car and keeps looking at me and mew.
One day, meowmeow looked very sick and feeble. I squat beside meowmeow and wondered what happened. Don't know if meowmeow was sick and I thought just like human can be sick, cats can be sick as well.
Meowmeow is gone for weeks. Thought I saw meowmeow the other day and ran to find but then the realisation also hit me that meowmeow could have been really so sick and passed away from old age. The only cat whom I truly feel endearing and because of the interaction daily, I felt very sad when I realised meowmeow could be dead.
Thankfully, I kept a not-so-well-taken shot. In loving memories of my meowmeow.

City Veins
This was taken during yesterday's blue hour after the epic sunset. It is titled City Veins as the roads represented channels for essential traffic flow. Somehow, City Arteries or City Capillaries just sound weird.
The processing wasn't quite straightforward. The initial +1 and +2 EV were HDR-ed to control the blown roads on the shot of +2EV with the underexposed buildings of the +1EV. Pentax bodies tend to under-expose hence the base exposure is +2 in here.
This is then blended separately with another 2 exposures (one for Fairfield Methodist Church and one for all other building lights) to control the highlights for the building signboards. The resulting two images were then further blended and then a further blend with the +2EV (IIRC) and some curve adjustments were done to increase the brightness.

Same spot as #321 but taken during blue hour. For some reason, I decided to take out the MRT trails as the shots of late which I have been posting have been full of MRT trails and I want the focus to remain on Clementi Mall. People tend to notice nice trails first, despite knowing people who aren't fans of that, and because I've been scouting places to shoot Clementi Mall (instead of shooting from it). May blend in the MRT trails for comparison later. However, as it is, I'd like the second shot posted of this scene to be without the trails.
