NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S @ 14 mm, 78 sec at f/13, ISO 64

This is one of those classic Instagramable spots

The standalone Louis Vuitton luxury boutique store is connected to the main shopping mall both underground and via a boardwalk. Behind the store is a wooden platform floating in the bay. This alternative perspective of the Marina Bay skyline can be captured, with the boardwalk and the anchor serving as foreground

With a six stop ND64 stacked with a CPL and a 3 stop soft grad you can get a nice long exposure (almost 80 seconds in this case)

As the platform you are shooting on is floating you can basically only do a long exposure here when there aren’t moving boats creating waves in the bay; and when there aren’t people moving about on the platform. In my case at 7:20AM I had the platform to myself

I was keen to shoot here a bit after sunset; alas the few times I was around here around that time the platform had many other people on it
