Old Singapore Playgrounds

Nice work. if you're serious about light painting and long exposure. Do check out Troy Paiva's "Lost America" series. ☺

kree. nice work here. Are you able to find even older playground, like those wooden seesaw and ball of metal tubes, etc? How about the rocket coming from around the time between dragon and bridge?

I used a normal flashlight (big type) for thin strokes and a camping light for the broader strokes. Light painting seem apt for a whimsical subject like playgrounds... Does anyone have further suggestions for light painting subjects?

yes you are right about it being apt for playgrounds. the suggestion of cemetries is of course a totally different "genre" but it's workable... can't think of anything else except maybe fairground equipment (merry-go-round, ferris wheel) after it has closed for the night?

Metal tube ball still exist? Just curious. The wooden see-saw can still be found in Emerald Hill...hopefully it wont be removed.

very very nice! care to share what you use to lightpaint?

Torchlights probably? Or hp with those bright light functions haha.

None so far... I do get some curious passerbys and was even approached by some teens while doing the watermelons @pipit. But instead of calling the police they asked me if I was shooting ghosts!

Ended up giving them a short demo of light painting results on the preview in my camera :bsmilie:

They might just end up picking up photography.

Very nice work, would you mind to share where the exact locations (e.g. google map)?
I plan to bring our niece for a weekend outing before these will be gone. Thanks a lot

Singapore hardly has these kind of places... Even if there is, it's probably fenced up and crawling with guards.

Thinking of writing up a photo essay with my images... Does anyone know where to find more info?
