Sunset at MacRitchie Reservoir Park

Mac-Ritchie Reservoir Park

Mac-Ritchie Reservoir Park is especially for landscape photographer who likes to shoot sunset photography. It gives several perfect scenic views of man made forest and river side scene. 



It is not only the beautiful spot for photographers but also for nature lovers, family and friends gathering, kayaking and picnic especially on weekends. You will find it as if you are in deep jungle and feel like you are no longer in Singapore when you further move deep into the forest. You will no longer hear and sense the busy city of Singapore. Strongly recommend to visit there at least twice a year if you are not happen to travel around the region. A good and suitable place to release all your stress. And do not forget to bring your camera.

It is located at North of Singapore and the nearest public transport is at Ang Mo Kio bus station or Marymount train station.

Sunset at Sentosa Beach of Singapore

Sunset at Siloso beach, Sentosa island, Singapore.

Blog this image, (images of images) would probably be the last until the end of the calendar 2010.

Please search for me at photovigor.blogspot.com, search with google to reach me for more images especially on landscape photography.

Here is another Singapore landscape photography taken at Sentosa island. The coastline is marked by three lovely man-made beaches – Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach and Tanjong Beach. It is relatively save to swim around or involve any of water activities such as beach volleyball, beach soccer, cycling, rollerblading and kayaking.

Sentosa island is not only the hot spot for landscape photographers in Singapore but also favorite location for wedding couples and one of the most photographed sites. Search for website, there are many beautiful pictures taken around Singapore.



How to get the Sentosa island? It's easy.. The simplest way is by taking train of North-East line and alight at Habour Front Station. From there just straight up to 3rd level of ViVo City shopping mall, transfer to mono-rail, which is S$3(may vary) for return trip.



On the way to the beach, the mono rail will carry you to the very first station, Water Front Station, where you can take beautiful photos at Universal Studio. The next is Ambiah Station where the Merlion (Singapore logo) is there. And the last stop is Beach Station, where the beautiful Sentosa is awaiting visitors. You can alight and board the mono rail again and again from station to station without any additional fees.



The tram ride is free at the point of writing this post and it run for two directions, one is to Siloso beach and the other route is to the Tanjong beach. After alighting from mono rail, the tram at the right is to Siloso and to the left is to Tanjong beach.

Singapore skyine

That was a very cloudy moment when I took this photo but fortunately manage to get this colorful sunset under the cloudy sky. The view was fantastic and like a painting. It started to rain after this. In fact I wanted to take the marina sands opposite the esplanade, the theater on the bay. But the atmosphere was not so attractive to photograph. If you are interested in sunset photography, travel to the tip of Singapore like East Coast or Changi Beach, this place is highly recommended.

I deliberately underexposed it by setting the exposure 1/3 down. This produced a far more desirable result with various and deeper colors.

I enjoy nature photography as well as sunset, sunrise, landscape and night photography. Before sunset the gradually changing light make interesting and beautiful sky as the sun sinks into the horizon. Taking sunset pictures could be challenging but also very rewarding experience. But, guys, do remember, the sun never sinks into the horizon in Singapore but instead its disappears behind the high rises. :)

Hope you enjoy reading my post and your Constructive Comments Make my Photographs Better.

Singapore Skyline

Although this is not the most photographed site in Singapore I love the color, evening sky and beautifully reflected buildings by the setting sun .If you are not residing in Singapore, probably you wouldn't know or have seen such residential sites but rather you would see those beautiful sites like Singapore river, Singapore night scene or the very famous Singapore eye.

Hope you enjoy my photos.

Sunset at Langkawi Beach Resort

Langkawi beach resort, at about 30 km off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia. One of the attractive sites for photographers especially who love sunset and landscape photography. It is a duty-free island (I love this).

Popular beaches are Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, Burau Bay, Pantai Kok, and Datai Bay. Pantai Cenang is my favorite beach and strongly recommend for landscape photographers. It is also great for seascape and sunset photography as well. It is a beautiful beach with seemingly unending stretches of fine white sand. Along the beach with the tall coconuts and casuarinas added the fantastic landscape. Pantai Kok is a peaceful and quiet beach with the backdrop of limestone hills.

How to go to Langkawi..

Tourists can reach the island via ferry from Kuala Perlis or by flight from Kuala Lumpur or even from Singapore there is a direct flight(Malaysia Airlines). Air Asia provides budget connections to the island.

The Langkawi International Airport is one of the 7 international airports in Malaysia and connects the island to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Penang, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Phuket and also Subang. On the island, there is only one main road runs through the whole island, so you won't be lost. Rental cars and taxis are available in Langkawi with a very reasonable price. Taxis do not run on meter, but instead drivers charge a flat rate which is quite "standardized" from point to point. It would be better ask the taxi fare before you board.

Australia holiday_part II

Sunset at Darwin

This sunset was captured minutes after the plane, taking off at Darwin international airport in the evening about 6. This was on the way back to Singapore from Melbourne via Darwin international airport.

Unlike the originating flight, the return trip was more comfortable as the departure from Melbourne was afternoon flight at 1:55pm local time. The airbus A320 touch down the Singapore soil at 9:55pm local time. Of course there is time lapse and nevertheless I am happily back home safely.

Here is the another sunset along the way back to Singapore, taken from the airplane.

Departure from Singapore to Brisbane, was in the late evening 10pm via Darwin also, so I manage to capture some sunrise images, which I posted in my previous post. Arrived Darwin early in the morning 4 am Darwin std time and continue to Brisbane at 6 am. Brisbane was cloudy and drizzling upon arrival at about 10am. I am very disappointed with the weather, yeah you know I am a camera man (By the way, my wife was very jealous with my buddy, the Canon 450D as I always taking care of my camera and those pictures I took). However, in the second day in Brisbane I manage to take some beautiful Brisbane photos and I will post it soon. The trip to Australia was really exciting, not only because of the backpacker's budget trip but also the delay of the departure flight. I hope you know the budget holiday trip; I get the cheapest airline, cheapest hostel (not hotel)with my huge backpack but several places with my favorite Rebel XSI.

The same sunset but it was zoomed in.

Supposedly the departure time is at 10 pm, it was delayed for one hour and took off at 11 pm. It scheduled to arrive Darwin at 4 am and the flight to Brisbane was 6am. So I suppose to have two hours transit time, it was pretty enough. But, now the arrival to Brisbane was 5 instead of 4 am. I was really worried as I only have one hour for my connecting flight to Brisbane. One of the disadvantages of the budget flight is I have to collect the luggage at Darwin international airport as I was taking two different flights.

wow, we miss Singapore airline A380. :)

It was not sunset but the evening sun was covered by the cloud and you could see the ocean below. Seem like the plane was directing toward the sun and this is the best I could take through the window.

Sunset at Woodlands, Singapore

This Sunset was taken at Woodlands, Singapore.

Sentosa Beach of Singapore 2

The island was renamed “Sentosa” in 1972, which represents peace and tranquility in Malay language visited by five million visitors every year.
Sentosa offers several attractions such as museums and other facilities to provide a variety of experiences, recreation and entertainment to visitors.

Some of the attractions are listed down here;

Tiger Sky Tower

The Tiger Sky Tower or Carlsberg Sky Tower is free-standing observation tower on Sentosa. It offers a panoramic view of Sentosa, and the Southern Islands.
Those who love panoramic photography will enjoy the ride and will get excellent panoramic view of Singapore.

Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom

It is a landscape garden with over 15,000 live butterflies, representing more than fifty species. The Insect Kingdom houses some 3,000 species of rare insects from around the world. Nature photography will take place here and especially those who love to take detail with macro lens will enjoy this garden.

Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon

Underwater World is located on the western part of Sentosa. It has more than 2,500 marine and fresh-water animals of 250 species from different regions of the world.

Songs of the Sea

It is a show in the sea — boasting spectacular pyrotechnics displays, a live cast and an open-air viewing gallery which can comfortably accommodate 2,500 visitors.

Others attractions are Sentosa 4D Magix, Sentosa CineBlast, Fort Siloso,Musical Fountain and a lot more you can enjoy.

Sentosa Beach of Singapore

Sentosa beach is one of the tourist attractions in Singapore.It is famous for its gentle sea breeze, which provide a pleasant environment and its sunset which attract most of the amateur photographers. Probably having the largest shore among beaches in Singapore where visitors can play and enjoy the atmosphere.

No other place is better to take sunset photography in Singapore than Sentosa Beach.

Sunset at Sembawang, Singapore

I enjoy nature photography such as sunset, sunrise, landscape and night photography as well. Constantly changing light make interesting and beautiful sky as the sun sinks into the horizon. Taking sunset pictures could be challenging but also very rewarding experience.

I have a large collection of sunset photos, and this is one of them taken at Sembawang Shopping Center or SSC, Singapore. The view was fantastic and it is a rare opportunity to take a sunset photograph in Singapore, I mean in the residential area. Since there are no high rise blockage, you could have a large view of bright blue sky during day and beautiful sunset at evening. If you are interested in taking sunset pictures, but do not want to travel to the tip of Singapore like East Coast or Changi Beach, this place is highly recommended. Of course Changi beach is needless to say much more beautiful than this.

In fact, I was having my dinner at "Astons", which is a local restaurant serving verities of western food and it resemble their motto "Quality & Value for Money". The food was cheap but great. You could get there by simply take their shutter bus from Sembawang train station. On that day, I took three photos there and this is one of them.

Base on my experience, most of the camera's automatic setting for sunset results in a wash-out images. For this particular photo, I deliberately underexposed it by setting the exposure 1/3 down. This produced a far more desirable result with various and deeper colours. The exposure compensation button is normally labelled with a plus and minus symbol.
