Thx Jace and JC1808!
Here is another shot taken at the Barrage, the crescent that most of us saw.
A stitch of 6.
Usually I would not have made such a long panorama. But I only got my 85mm and my 24mm ( which was too wide ). 3 shots stitched with a 45mm PCE would definitely be lovely :bsmilie: giving abit more space on the top. Would have loved to take the shot abit earlier for more colors. No intention of cloning off the lens flare.

Taken in the earlier part of the day when the sun was setting.
Tilted and stitched. Might not be everyone's cup of tea

I really like this one , the colour and the tilt effect. So different from the other posts.
The cresent moon was also very sweetly (clearly) positioned in #42.
Clever boy :lovegrin:

Thx zoosshI would definitely love to reshoot another version with the sun setting in view

Like everyone else Ryan, I'm simply loving ur shots.. I awe ur vision when u look at things and put them into beautiful pictures.. Ur pics are extraordinary.. And, I'm learning so much from how you take your pictures.
Love to see more of your pictures.
Just wanna ask u Ryan, do you take multiple exposure shots everytime?

Many thanks for your kind words Luffs
I do take multiple exposures for scenes that has very wide dynamic range especially scenes with lights in an otherwise darker background. I love shooting in the evening ( mainly because i can only do that after work, sunrise is abit too torturing ), and multiple exposures can be helpful especially in relatively static landscapes.
However I make note of elements that I do not need to expose for. I try to expose for what I see.
For example :
The foreground was dark even to my eyes. In this case i exposed for the skies and the buildings and thats about all the dynamic range I needed. There is really no need to get the green details from the foreground because it would have been otherwise really wierd.
Scenes with abit more dynamic elements but otherwise in good light i can do with a single shot and simplify the workflow, and help cut down on motion artefacts.

How nice when you can really put it on your own living room.
I was thinking of shooting Singapore for another year or so and make a panoramic book out of it.
Printing and putting in the living room ... need to ask wife for permission :sweat:

Hi Ryan, you're being modest. Really, my words hold truth about how I feel about your pictures.
Thank you very much for your explanations. About the foregound, I do concur that leaving it dark is the best.
Right now, I am still learning how to take proper pictures.

Hi luffs I would say your HDR processing is pretty well done ( but thats just me ) . A shot under that lighting would probably have gotten thrown the building into a darker shade. For your maiden attempt u managed not to overdo the HDR, which seemed to be the case for many, ending up in an overly flat and unreal image with little gradation and contrast
The other question however was if a single D300 raw could actually manage to retrieve the information from the shadows?
As an added point, you can try to experiment with other interesting angles and compositions. Always try something new! I try to do something differently each time too

Thx raghnall. I was wandering around streets and looking upwards all the time around chinatown to see where I could climb to make the shoot. Luckily chinatown was not exactly the busiest at this times, and there wasn't that many people around. each exposure was made with minimal human movements ( I had to estimate how long the cars or people will end up entering my frame ( of which one has a longer exposure ) Pretty interesting actually, and i was lucky non of my "human actors" in the shots moved much.

Thank you very much for your reply Ryan.
Opps! sorry to have posted the picture in your thread. Deleted it as I feel I should not intrude into your thread.
Thanks anyway. I will try other angles soon. Thank you for your encouragement.

A temple that has been so often featured on this forum.
Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, the monument of Chinatown. Shooting from the roof of a car park, I was too timid to walk the extreme edge of the ledge to shoot because of lack of foot support and I have no clue how to deploy a tripod ( you get to see cars zipping a storey below ).
Maybe one day I will get a Gorillapod to fix at the extreme and climb near the ledge to take a proper shot of the whole building in entirety. Otherwise this is all for now, I will go back for a better shot next time.
