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.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.![]()

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
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.

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:

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!
