Bishan Park Singapore - Pre Dawn

On my way to take dawn shots at the Lower Pierce Reservoir, I walked
through Bishan Park, in the dark. One of the lakes looked so peaceful,
I had to stop & take some shots.


I actually slipped down a path whilst carrying the camera on the tripod
just after this, (it was still dark) and grazed my knee badly, but I
didn't drop the camera! When i got to the Reservoir, and the Sun was
up, a number of the "Tai Chi" people there offered "plasters", as I had
blood running down my leg! My answer, " Thanks, but photos first, then
I will clean it up!" ;-)





This is a 3 exp HDR - long exposures at that!

TaiChi at Lower Peirce Reservoir - Singapore

This is for "24 hours of Flickr", and represents my day on the 5th of the 5th.


I was up before dawn, and walked to the Lower Pierce Reservoir for some
dawn light shots and still air. When I arrived at dawn, there were
about a hundred people there doing Tai Chi, facing the water! I could
not get the shots I had planned without them in the frame. It was
disappointing, but I managed to get some good shots of them, here is
one.


I think this one represents the scene & the feel.

Andaman Sunset 5 - Phuket, Thailand

The Sun setting over the Andaman Sea, as Seen from Karon Beach, Phuket,
Thailand. This is one of a series of photos I took of this Sunset on
the 26th April.


I love the way that the light behind the clouds in the foreground & middle distance make them stand out.


This is a 3 exposure HDR.


As usual, this looks MUCH better LARGE On Black

Lower Pierce Sunset - The other side

The setting Sun illuminates the bridge to the intake, in the Lower Pierce Reservoir in Singapore.


The orange glow & the reflection off the metal on the side made an interesting view. This reservoir was built in 1912.

An endless line of deckchairs stretches out, ready, waiting for the guests of the nearby Resorts to wander to the beach.
