which building you shoot from?

I shot this building(Capital Square) from a carpark overlooking it. I think it was the Grand Building carpark. Went up to the 9th floor for this angle. :)

Nice view, did you try a pano here? Not sure about constraints for this location though.

P.S. Never credit SFOH for this view!

Yeap, I did try a pano, but the trees along the road were too distracting. In fact, I kinda find the tree at the bottom right for this shot a little too distracting too!

LOL! Ok lah, better do so yeah!

Yeah well, I appreciate the trees when I'm walking below the shade on a hot, hot Singapore day...

But they are hell for photographers! :(

LOL!
 

hi Scintt

I've gone through all the 19 pages of your thread.
There is NONE of the pictures which I dislike :D
They are ALL far too amazingly taken.
I really wish to learn some tips & technics from you......if you dont mind counting me in during your next shooting session.

Yeah, ditto that. Sometimes, I wish I could have them hacked down! ;p

Hi NikonNoob, thanks for the nice words. :) I still have much to learn though, many of my shots are inspired by the seniors in this forum!

This is nice !! How is the black card technique done ? Do u hand hold the black card to cover the lighter skies to achieve more even exposures ? Or use a filter holder ? Wil your hand shake affect it ? Sorry for the many questions, still very amateur :sweat:

Hi, thanks for dropping by! The black card technique is a pretty simple way to achieve even exposures actually - there's no need for filter holders. However, a long exposure is needed, and that's where ND filters might come in handy. Here are some sites to get you started with it:
Hanjié's Blog: Black card photography Part I
Hanjié's Blog: Black Card Photography II - Fireworks
Tony’s Magic Cloth Technique « Iceland Aurora Photographic

Take note that you do need to shake the card when 'masking' the sky during an exposure to prevent a black line from forming. Hope this helps!

And no, you're definitely not amateur!

hi, i refer to your photo "32. Chinatown Overview(Colour)".
Just wanna ask a very noob question. Is this a HDR blended photo?? And also how did u manage to make all the buildings esp the Fu Ya Shi building looks so 'Stand out' and 'Logo' lookalike feel?? Thanks.
