6-inch Gun

This picture of the 6-inch Gun Barrel were taken at Labrador Park.
The 6-inch Gun Barrel is an anti-ship weapon facing the Southwest direction, these are used by the Singapore Volunteer Artillery (SVA) before the world war. The gun weighs 6,604kg and each shell (below) weighs 45kg.


Standing at the site of the 6-inch gun gave me a feeling of World War, so I pp (photoshop) the 2 photos to give it an olden days antique look.

Sawadee Krap! - June 2008 (Part 4)

Taken in front of our hotel, this railway track is still in service with trains passing through at slow speed once in a while. Rare site for Singaporeans.



These two photos are one of my first few attempts at High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI).
HDR images are able to show a wider range of exposures and light intensity. Hope you like it.

Sawadee Krap! - June 2008 (Part 1)

Took a short leisure trip to bangkok recently and manage to snap some shots along the way.

Stroll along Singapore River

These shots were taken on a cloudy night along the Singapore River.


Taken on tripod with 30secs long exposure. Changing of white balance gave the picture its bluish tint.




This lamp post was irresistable to shoot when i saw it standing alone with the cloudy sky as its background. The picture gives me a very olden days colonial feeling.

Accident on PIE

Just to side track from the common photos i post here. I recently captured an accident scene on the PIE where the driver slammed into roadwork barricades. Photo taken in low light on tripod with long exposure.
