[nitewalk] Beauty of Our (Lion) City

#300

The Last Show

I decided to keep the 300th shot for something more nostalgic (for some) instead of something common.

This was the first and last time I enter this place. It was darker than it appears and a long exposure was necessary. There are a few similar versions. There was a choice to let the stream of light be more pronounced, which would mean that blowing the highlights at the window would not be ideal I guess. What I had in mind was the image of old style projector and the wooden boards where the screen was, as the screen. Thus I blew the highlights in order to get this idea.

Something from backlog, haven't been shooting lately.

Taken during yesterday morning before sunrise, which was pretty decent I'd say. Out for maybe 3 weeks due to haze and work. This is a 3-frame single RAW image panorama.

I was in the area for a funeral and remembered Stefan's work The World of Bukit Panjang. This is actually a straight copy from that and searching through in my mind for a place to do panorama to test out the Panosaurus, I thought of this place.

Last Look at Empress Theatre. It has since been torn down and gone except in our memories. A bit of a late upload as I've been busy lately.

Holy Symmetry

Church of Blessed Sacrements, Singapore

Panorama image of 3 frames of 5, 6, 5 exposures manually blended.

Saw a few photographers shooting this and after the arrival of my Panosaurus, I itched to give it a try. Of a few perspectives, I was more interested in this and I actually pushed one EV higher for the centre frame to get a brighter feel in the middle. In my mind I had an image of a bright cross and rather meaningfully so, hence I decided to push it with the centre frame.

From yesterday. The full resolution file is 42MB. Made some mistakes during shooting. Will redo again after realising my mistakes.

Diffracting Beams

Three frame panorama of single RAW exposures for each frame using GND0.6 soft

Yesterday sunset and this time pushing the Panosaurus to the limit with near foreground lines. The dynamic range of Pentax bodies surprises me once again when I am very sure a Canon body would have required blending to bring out similar shadow details decently. This was a severely backlit shot which I had to use the GND filter for once in a long time to ensure I can do this in a single exposure but even so, it does require some work on the shot to bring out the details without making the image noisy. I was jumping up and down when I saw the sun shining through the blocks of MBS and it was really a beautiful feeling after a long day at work and such is the beauty of doing cityscapes. It was just an amazing feeling.

I love the reflection cast on the water and the wall.

Fractal

Art Science Museum, Singapore

3 frame panorama image of 2 exposures each manually blended

Forgot to bring my mounting plate for the ball head and remote shutter release so I was forced into doing the whole shoot with the Panosaurus. I don't recall seeing this perspective, but probably someone must have covered this, just not a commonly taken perspective.

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.

Have not been here for quite sometime... I have notice changes and the process is getting very different now....much better contrast, hue, depth and especially edge definition in architectural... great job..
