Hey thanks alot man! That means alot to me.

Unfortunately I didn't shoot anything for the weekend as I just finished my 24 hour guard comd. duty... LOL. The evening sun is nice now after the rain, but I decided to stay home and probably head down for a swim later before booking into camp again. =P So in return, I decided to do a general montage of my selected latest works so far in thumbnail! Enjoy!

These photos are taken in, and around Singapore, and only in Singapore and no where else.

2 more from this morning's simple Sembawang Fisherman's point shoot. The tide was high, and I love it.

Sembawang Rock Play

5 Image HDR/DRI using ND 8 hard graduated filter + Tiffen ND 1.2 filter. Sembawang Beach Park, Singapore.

Stooped at an awkward angle as low as possible just for this shot. It was also raining at the far right end where the industrial area is.

Your pics are comparable to pro. You must have been spending a lot of time and effort.

Well done !!

Haha, thanks for your comment, I do take my time to shoot my pictures to find the perfect angle to suit my idea and concept in mind. I still got alot to learn to be a "pro".... LOL. Thanks!

One more again from Punggol yesterday.... Sun wasn't good, but the waves sure are!!

Wave Catching @ Punggol

Single image using ND 8 hard graduated filter. Punggol Beach, Singapore. So nice to be there again for this!!

Purposely shot this underexposed for that dramatic, dark feel.

The latest two are very nice - composition wise, especially for the foreground. What I am finding a wee bit weird is the murkiness and lack of detail in the horizon - is it your filter?

Hey man, thanks for your comments! Well I used a pretty wide aperture @ f3.5... to achieve slightly faster shutters for the waves to work. The scene is actually pretty dark as I waited for that time of day, and previously the waves weren't so strong enough to produce a shot like that. So I sat and waited for the moment to come by... And the horizon doesn't seem at all inspiring or pretty, not with all the dark clouds and boring sunset... So therefore I came to a conclusion that, those things can be blurred out.

So bonus behind-the-scenes shots!! Enjoy!!

I soon moved nearer, though. On another note, I really must salute that fisherman standing there!! Touchwood, but I really don't know what to do if I see him slip and fall...

Thanks Mimi!!! I saw your thread, it's heck of amazing too!! Keep em' all coming!!!

More behind the scenes....

The last one... It's the most scariest one!! Rather than just shooting the same ol' rocks of the same ol' 1/3 rule of photography angle again and again, I decided to try something fresh. The camera is very close to the water. Don't try this when there are too much waves!

From Lower Peirce today:

7 Image HDR/DRI using sunset ND 8 graduated filter + Hoya 9 stop NDX400 filter. Lower Pierce Reservoir, Singapore.

Been into low angle perspective experiments lately. Trying out on rocks for simplicity sake. =P

Nice take on this! Leads the viewer from the rocks to the sun setting in the background.

Thank you! I'm glad that it worked out!

One more simple shot from Punggol.

Was a little late for the sunset, unfortunately. Sob.
