With Kodak TMAX 400 loaded on Shanghai TLR camera, a long exposure timing of 3 minutes and 36 seconds was set, with a snooted LED flashlight illuminated on the building number. The film is developed in Kodak D76 for 6 minutes and scanned on Epson V700. Post in Photoshop and cropped in 6x7 format.

Sundial

Do you remember this sundial?

This gigantic sundial was formerly situated at the old Marina City Park, way before Garden By The Bay was built. I believe it is one of the most forgotten landmarks in the park after 7 years of development.

This sundial was exposed under the full moon with 3 pops of flash-painting at one minute interval to create rim light for a 3-dimensional effect. In the end the strobe light caused the large blob of light at the bottom frame. However I find it interesting as it adds up to the overall mood of this photograph. During the long exposure, the moon shifted as time ticked by for 9 mins that created this elongated light orb.

Night Bridge

Night Bridge
(from Dwell In The Night series)

Good evening night dwellers!

Since June, I have had posted some night street photographs made with my Nikon D70s which I think most of you had seen them. Well, tonight I want to show a night photograph from my Dwell In The Night project as shown above. Night Bridge was made 5 years ago and I thought it would be a good idea to show it here as a teaser.

Currently I'm reviewing and re-editing all the night photographs from this project and I will make an announcement once all pictures are ready for view on my website. Do subscribe to this blog for new updates or visit my other photography blog here.

Pleasant viewing.
