Flyer to Sands

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

Finally a small touch of colour on this long morning shoot. 6:40AM and still another 20 minutes till sunrise. The Singapore Flyer on the left, ArtScience Museum and the Marina Bay Sands on the right

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.

Merlion Park

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 24 mm, 2.5 to 25 sec at f/8, ISO 64 x 19 Frames

During the day this whole area at Merlion Park is absolutely packed. Taking a 19 frame panorama (actually 6 horizontal frames with each having 3 to 4 exposure bracketed shots) at 5:40AM helps when there’s almost no-one around

This panorama encompasses a 180˚ view. From the Esplanade and Jubilee Bridges on the left; past the Esplanade Concert Hall, the Singapore Flyer in the middle, the ArtScience Museum, the MBS; the Merlion and the Fullerton on the right

Marina Bay Sands

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 24 mm, 20 sec at f/8, ISO 64

My wife and I were taking a quick trip to Singapore. It’s a city we’d only ever been in the airport as we transited through. This time we’d be visiting the city proper

This is the start of my very early first morning there. We were staying at the Shangri-La for the first part of our stay. So I got up stupidly early to get down to Merlion Park to shoot across the bay at sunrise. Since I took a taxi down rather than catch public transport like I’d originally planned I got there WAY too early :). This is actually ~5:30AM (90 minutes before sunrise). The moisture in the air was stupendous and combined with the 30˚ temperature made for an uncomfortable humid experience. It also led to quite a lot of lens fogging and a slightly dreamy look to many of my images 🙂
