High Rise

Sunrise on a new day and another chance to take a quick flight from a 49th floor balcony on the Marina Bay Sands

Two 180˚ panorama’s – one looking back towards the city and one looking away out to sea

MBS Infinity

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 24 mm, 1/6 sec at f/4, ISO 800 x 8 (vertical) Frames

After dinner I headed up to the Level 57 roof area of the Marina Bay Sands

There’s this huge infinity pool for hotel guests which looks over the city

These are some handheld stitched panoramas with some slow shutter giving you the 180˚+ view from up here

I think I actually botched the shooting of this. I’m pretty sure I had the camera’s built in vibration reduction off for these shots (camera in the mode I typically shoot my on tripod landscapes with) – doh!!. I’m quite particular with my handholding technique however to get steady shots. So they turned out mostly ok

In the second image “Spectra” – “A Light & Water Show” – is running. This happens on the water just in front of the MBS at hourly intervals during the night

Singapore Night

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

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 70 mm, 13 sec at f/8, ISO 64

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)

Returning to the Supertrees for a more late twilight view
