Garden Rhapsody

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 70 mm, 10 sec at f/8, ISO 64

I’d already taken the regular intervalometer frames for the Garden Rhapsody lightshow at the Supertrees. So I converted the images from the shows into an animated GIF

Garden Rhapsody

I had actually wanted to head down to the Supertree grove and shoot the Garden Rhapsody lightshow from the ground

Alas we had a dinner booked at 8PM (and the lightshow runs at 7:45PM and 8:45PM) so we’d miss both session – doh…

So I setup my “real” camera up on a tripod on our balcony. Pointed down to the Supertree grove and setup with my intervalometer to take a shot every 30 seconds

Here’s one of the last frames just before 9PM (when the show finishes)

Supertree Twilight

Returning to the Supertrees for a more late twilight view

Tumble

DJI Mini 3 Pro FC3582 + 6.7 mm f/1.7 @ 6.72 mm, 1/30 sec at f/1.7, ISO 100 x 9 Frames

This one almost looks like a single shot with an ultra wide or even slightly fisheye lens

It’s actually the result of DJI’s built-in 9 frame (3 across by 3 down) auto panorama. But in this instance starting with the camera angled a little downward to start with

Thus you end up with more land and less sky. Plus this sort of curved earth look which although it’s really a pano projection “error” I actually like

You get to see the city lights just after sunset better in this one

Singapore Nights

DJI Mini 3 Pro FC3582 + 6.7 mm f/1.7 @ 6.72 mm, 1/50 sec at f/1.7, ISO 100 x 21 Frames

I took a number of 180˚ panoramas from over the water of the Marina Bay. This one was probably my favourite. It’s actually about 10 minutes after sunset so if you zoom in you can see all the building lights are on
