B&W 2013 (6) - Light of the World

Night scene in black and white seems a whole lot different. The light seems more obvious.

No matter how dark the night is, light will always overcome and shine forth.

A Night Walk Around Woodlands

Time: 2am
Mood: Awake & Bored
Activity: Shooting

I have never really been very keen for night shots. First of all, I do not have a decent flash and I don’t like to carry a tripod. Yet the shots have a certain feel of mystery that is quite captivating.

Half way through the walk, it started to pour. Took shelter at a nearby 7-11 for some noodles.

Took me an hour to walk under the flats to finally take a cab home on a wet morning trip around Woodlands. I was quite tempted to just sit down and wait for the rain to stop.

Little But Not Small

If there is a place for motorists to hone their driving skills, this has to be one of the places in Singapore. The pedestrians are king of the road. Where? Little India.

I think there are more people on the roads here than in Orchard Rd. And mind you, it’s a weekday. For info, Mustafa Centre is the only 24 hours shopping mall in Singapore. And you can find almost everything there. Prices are not expensive too. In fact, Mustafa was mentioned in tour books as one of the most happening places in Singapore. Salute to all the Indians who made Singapore proud.

Little India is truly a very colourful place. From the buildings to the people, it is just full of vibrant and the lifestyle is quite captivating at times.

Do we still see such bag deposit counters anywhere else?

Life goes on as usual no matter what, for some.

As I wandered along the streets, I found this game I used to play when I was young, Carrom Game.

It’s a super huge board, twice the size we usually played on. So that a lot of people can play at the same time.

Ever wonder why most of the money changers in Singapore are operated by Indians?

Night Lights In Singapore

One challenge for me as I take photos is night shots. Heard from many friends around, the essential equipment to have for a good night shot will be tripod, flash and remote control. All of which I do not have. Maybe I should invest. But still the night scene in Singapore fascinates me a lot. Still searching for places besides Orchard Rd and Sentosa.

Wheelock Place, during Christmas, it will be transformed into a huge Christmas tree.

Tried a slower shutter speed to capture the lights but hands not steady enough for a clearer picture.

Just a feeling of peace.

Out Of The Blue

we were at Vivo late one night, took the chance to shoot her inside one of those blue tunnels
