Singapore Redux

Every time I’m down at Marina Bay with a camera, the weather plays foul on me. The sky was grey and overcast the day I took this shot too. Weather seems so finicky these days anyway. Well since the sky was of a dreary color, I decided to go along with that and capture the […]

My Mum insisted I grab a shot of the Singapore Flyer (I prefer to call it the Giant Ferris). Not exactly the most flattering angle to shoot it too! Not forgetting all the vehicles zooming past me. The purple streaks are from a SBS bus. Anyway, that’s another shot done with the crazy framing. As […]
