Pictures taken at Clarke Quay

[jetspeed818]

Nice shots, seldom see the river so calm and still, love it:thumbsup:

Try shooting at 30 sec, 60 sec, you will get still water.

Nice pictures!
The water is so mirror flat!

Nice shots. Water is flat and a very nice and sharp reflection. I believe this is taken later in the night.

Hi guys!!!. Clarke Quay pics...the pictures posted are directly taken from my camera NO Photoshop editing done..taken "As Is"... Guess you have to be patient to let the waters calm down and make sure its high tide. Shot taken at aroung 1:30-2:00am.

why is my pix looks so bad as compare to those posted here that looks sharp and crispy?

 

[flyrawk]

i thk the reflections is photoshopped?

my guess, coz the reflection also reflected the background's building, where the building standing far from the river? impossible?

Taking a first look on the original pics that was posted on this thread made me say that it was the work of Adobe Photoshop.

To tell you my shot was "As Is" right out of the camera..NO PHOTOSHOP..well it's hard to believe but you really have to "wait" and "capture" the moment when the water is "mirror still" at Clarke Quay.

Just try to do it and believe for yourself. I wasn't a believer then, but when I took the shot..it's true!!! mirror reflection...no photoshop..taken as is...

You need a tripod for such night shots. Set you Apreture high e.g F16 or even F22 if you have it to get that star burst effect. Then set a long exposure time like 4, 8, or even 16 seconds for that mirror effect !

It's dangerous! Try it, you will be addicted to colors of lights. =)
I know I was . =)
