This image was taken another day when the light piercing through the ceiling of water was seen dancing against the walls.

The tallest of the UOB Tower. Why would someone stand on this building? No it is not a photographer, he is setting up some of the fireworks for the National Day Parade.

A short series in black and white for a change. Part of the financial district in the front with port facilities in the background.

The eyes travel through the picture in a zig-zag pattern from the roofs to the gully, like the rain water. This picture will complete the series on the black and white buildings of the Seletar Camp. Till next visit?

In the humid local climate, ferns can grow almost anywhere if you give them the time.

A few wooden pegs placed on the clothes lines would have improved the picture!

As the picture was taken from the ground level, the lens had to be shifted up a little to keep the windows straight.

A cement structure that was part of a club house. The lens flare actually add some character to the picture...

Sad view from the empty garden, previously visited by boisterous children...

Contrasts In The City

D700 50mm ISO200 f/13 1/200

A second picture taken with the 50mm within the exercise mentioned yesterday. I would usually use it as a fast lens (f/1.4) to control depth of field or for low light shot without flash. It was actually interesting to be limited to a single focal length for an outing. There was in fact more opportunities to use it than I had expected.
