Warm Flowers

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S @ 25 mm, 15 sec at f/8, ISO 64

6:30AM (and just over half an hour till sunrise) and it’s looking very promising. Some light whispy high cloud and some decent colour on the horizon. Makes for some great warm reflections with the ArtScience museum and the Marina Bay Sands

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

I was back down at Marina Bay near Merlion Park for another sunrise session. This time hoping for some sunrise colour

I’d caught public transport down this morning (a Bus). And I was here at a much more sensible time (just 45 minutes before sunrise rather than over 90 minutes)

First up this nice almost alien view, symmetric composition looking under the two Esplanade bridges

Two large bio domes sit at the edge of Gardens By The Bay. They house the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. We visited both, with the Avatar themed Cloud Forest proving to be a huge multi levelled indoor forest with aerial walkways

Raffles Boulevard Spiral

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S @ 14 mm, 1/50 sec at f/8, ISO 64

An interesting and very photogenic set of outdoor spiral stairs that can be found on Raffles Boulevard. Right near the Millenia Walk shopping centre

It was full sun when I first tried to photograph these (with minimal success due to the horrible shadowing and contrast). Luckily about 20 minutes later when we came out of the shopping centre it was quite cloudy. So I was able to take my shots again with much better light

We spent the morning wandering the grounds of the nearby Singapore Botanic Gardens and it’s National Orchid Garden
