DITN series – Stadium West Entrance

This was the West Entrance of the former Singapore National Stadium. It was illuminated by lights from the nearby construction site, with some faded tree shadows cast upon the signage pillar wall. The night atmosphere was fantastic and I was so compelled to take photographs of it. I took 2 bracket frames with 9 minutes for each. For the second one, I used a yellow filter lens but I prefer the first one, as shown above.

Next, I turned the camera towards the left side of the West Entrance, also exposed 2 bracket frames. 9 minutes for the first with yellow filter lens on, and the second frame without (shown below), exposed for 6 minutes. I find the second shot more pleasing in tonalities.

All photographs were made possible with my Shanghai TLR camera on a roll of Kodak TMAX 400. Both photographs are dated in early April 2007.

DITN series – Ticket Gantry

One of the many ticket gantries at the former Singapore National Stadium. We can tell that this gantry is numbered 20, half-hidden by the header board. Love the ambiance lighting and so decided to take this shot with my Shanghai TLR on Kodak TMAX 400.

DITN series – Ticking Clock

Tick tock tick tock... The clock was still ticking when I made this photograph at the former Singapore National Stadium in April 2007. 2225 hrs. The clock time was the exact time I pressed the shutter release on my Shanghai TLR with a roll of Kodak TMAX 400. A 6-minute exposure on Bulb mode at f/22. A manual strobe was fired from the camera right behind the pillar, out of sight and aiming at the clock. The area was really in very low light condition, hence the strobe light was necessary so as to show more details.

DITN series – Grandstand

The Grandstand at the former Singapore National Stadium; the gateway to the seating area. What really attracted me to make this photograph was the ambiance of lighting in the background, hidden by the header board. The light hit the metallic gate and cast shadows on the foreground, along with the symmetrical arrangement of squarish light flooring. All elements fell into place and this photograph was made possible with my Shanghai TLR on a roll of Kodak TMAX 400. Only one frame was exposed for 10 minutes on Bulb mode at f/22. The negatives were developed and scanned for post-process in Adobe Photoshop.

Night Street Photo – Untitled

Not Quite Night series #92

Good evening nightographers! Hope everyone is safe and healthy in this difficult time. It's more than six months since my last blog post. My sincere apologies for the long hiatus. I was caught up with work commitment and I picked up a sport that I am spending more time in training and playing. Yes, I picked up Table Tennis again after so many years since I last played in my teens. So yeah I confess I have neglected my night photography but I'm more fitter, stronger, and healthier than ever before. And I am proud that I am fully vaccinated.

Well, tonight I'm back with a new Not Quite Night photo of an iconic art center in Singapore, and also to share a piece of updated news with you. So let's jump right into it.
