Panorama, Esplanade and the new "Independence Bridge"

Image
Not a totally new shot, but not too long ago. Finally got some good stitching software that do some good pano. Not much distortion. Esplanade and the new "Independence Bridge"

National Gallery - Town City Hall

Image
This is actually the latest new shot. Telling the Story Little is the Hard part. Guess the Mood is too Imitating for Common People. Although its free for Singapore Local. It seems there is a Sign say " Don't enter unless you understand High Art" Guess they Curate Lots of Established Works by Established Artist. Which has Commercial and Art Value. The Town is the City Hall Beside.

City HDR

Image
Going Back to some HDR Photography. Guess the not-to-over process version is still acceptable. Looks quite natural, just  "High quality " rather that over-saturated. A earlier HDR City of City Center. May Market as Quality Prints for Décor and such.

From A Bus Window (East SG)

Image
From Bus Window. Surprise the long stretch of Street with Old Buildings. Different from HDB Singapore and City Singapore. Many Middle Class Small House, Many of them. Feel like a Redevelopment Officer looking for some Urban Redevelopment. Guess 75% of this Non-Heritage can be Re-Develop. Cannot touch 25% with Heritage Value. According to Social Democracy-Capitalist Theory. Good for Public, Condo Mass much High value than Small house.

Stadium by the River

Image
Stadium by the River Town Stadium. River and Sport Stadium don't comes together. But the New stadium is beside the River Kallang.

Kallang River and House

Image
Kallang River and House This is a Remote Area, near the City but a real river Kallang. The Architecture is good, water is Blue. Near the New circuit Line.

Singapore Geographic - Sounds Nice

Image
Quite reluctant to publish this shot in the blog, always think should sell as a Print. But do some promo for this City thru Lens, hopefully this series comes out as a small book. Or even subscription, something like  Singapore Geographic. Then the Revenue will be Recurring and Paperless. The Good thing about this Gallery Supreme Court. Now you can go to the Justice Hall and even Pose beside the The Big Seat of Ta Fa Guan - The CHIEF JUSTICE. Cool, will try someday.

Arab Street and Such - The Untold Street of Singapore

Image
Always heard the Arabs has very Good Business Skill. Of course they invented the Number for Accounting. Latest Read up reveal a Big Surprise, the Persian Science is More Advance in the Very Old Century. May choke many , you means the Trouble making Middle East is MORE ADVANCE, you must be NUTS. History actually say the SCIENCE ARISTOTLE was popular in the Persian Empire. Then Spread back to Europe in the Late Century. Got to dig vey back old History. This Singapore Arabs street actually is Very Clean, cleaner than many Singapore Street. The curry fish head is super good. And got many SPECIALISED Meditarrian Food,  heard it is very healthy kind of food. This is the Untold Street of Singapore

Recycle for Writing Practise

Image
Recycle this City Capture for Writing Practise. At least get the Technical grammar and Content flowing. Will not do too often, most are Original Photography Shot by Default. But City Center got too many Story to Tell. Just One Building Corprate Story whether it is OCBC or NTUC has VERY LONG STORY behind. Longer than Singapore River itself

Town Series 2 : Stadium Town

Image
    Town Series 2 : Stadium Town This is the entrance of the Kallang Wave. The Sport Town Main Mall. Very Up to Date Interior with latest Facilities. Not just the STADIUM, it a Total Concept. Even has a Mega Chess Board Out-Door. If Chess is a Sport, more of a Game Strategy.

A different city Singapore Series

Image
A Different City Singapore Series - Town Stadium, Kallang The New MRT Circle line not only bring transport and convenient to people of some Town. Some City town Scene is Really Totally New and Fresh. May not be totally Scenic. But is NEW and for the first Time  for some Photography Circle. This could mean about 25% of the Capture will be FRESH N NEW - Never seen before in Singapore Photography. Means No more improve on the City capture or another angle of the Garden. This is from the MRT Station Stadium, Circle Line Town. It is the Sport Town - National Stadium New and Kallang Wave.
Image
Jing Wu Men This looks like a deserted place and a deserted Sign Board in Chinese. It is beside a Street of Tanjong Pagar A closer look is say Jing Wu Ti Yu - some sort of Old Chinese Sport Group. It actually has some Big Origin, Real Big. Imagine it is one of Bruce Lee Classic Movie. Where He went into a Japanese Martial Art Club, and Beat Down the Japan Master. This is the Club that the Movie Character is In. JING WU MEN A Sport and Martial Art Association and Promote some Strengthen Spirit

The New Independence Bridge

Image
Always want to call this linkway THE NEW INDEPENDENCE BRIDGE. Not much people will agree. More of a Visitor and Convenience Purpose. No Sociology SG agenda. The series of Nightscape is up here and There. Some in Blog , some at 500px/Flickr Site, some at the Main Website. The Main Website is Up. William Teo Photography and Zico F  Studio

High Quality Esplanade Theatre

Image
    A High Quality version of the Esplanade Theatre. A Higher Dynamic Range of a Image, seen in Old school Medium Format Camera. Not reproduce with Digital Process and multiple exposure.     The back is the New Raffles Hotel. Westin Stamford which change hand now to another Hotel Group. Fairmount does strike with the local, but seems another Big Player that can buy this Once Highest Hotel.   The Mall is a Central Gathering Place for Local SG. With Raffles Place Central Work Place Office Prime.   NB : May start sharing some Photography tips too.   

City Night and Street Light, DNA Bridge (Assignment)

Image
City Night and Street Light, DNA Bridge (Assignment) The ISO is really High. But looks OK  for Reportage Documentary. The Color of the DNA Bridge MBS, is really colourful. The Noise is too high for Stock but looks good for Journalistic with some Commentary. The City Night and Evening Scape is available for Print only. May be some for Gallery and Portfolio. Guess there will be two version Quality Photography Print and General Poster Print.

Ten Town Singapore Series -Punggol 2

Town MacPherson

Image
    Town MacPherson - Street and Travel Photography This is really a Small Town with No Town Center and Town Mall. A Circle Line "Town", you get a Security HQ, some Industrial Park and Old Residence. Guess Macpercen is a Real Person. MacPherson is REALLY a Real Person, a Colonel and a Engineer, in the 1840s-50s. The Current Head of the town is quite a famous person. A small town which is a Single Constituent. Its between Payer Lebar and Aljunied.

Capitol Reborn and Real Capitol Building

Image
  Real Capitol Building is the Parliament House. Looks good together with City Skyline background. This the normal reportage shot. Very high ISO compare to Night Landscape Shot. The Capitol Building goes for total reborn. Its is left empty for many years. Until some Developer decided to give it a New Life. The Cinema seems open too. The Shopping is small but of High End stuff

Old Boss and Blood Debt

Image
Anti-Colonial The Colonial Ruler has Zero chance of coming back already. Embracing some of the colonial history really can  "Beef Up" Singapore. The British Admin System may be one of the Best in the World. At least it is a system that can hold a Empire Across half of the Globe. Many things still got to learnt of the West. Blood Debt The issue of Blood Debt of the Japanese Invasion during WW2 is quite a serious Issue. Actually early leader has raised the Issue, even as early as the 60s. May be it cannot be resolved or forget. There is really No Solution to some human problem. NB - Photo of National Museum Singapore, History Gallery

City Center Street Light and Night

Image
Singapore street is quite safe at night. Some say you can even stay in the park for the whole night without any problem. The security is tight 24hrs. But it is still a City. The City night street assignment is according to Tom Ang , Master of Photography Book Assignment. Do keep a Tripod and High ISO with long exposure for Night Shoot. Will try out a Night Shoot Panorama.

A Really Big Chinese Garden

Image
It is actually size of 100 over football field. Probably the Biggest Open Space. Bigger than Padang Field, Botanic Garden and Bay Garden add together. But really need lots of input to this Big Space. Just one or two Improvement is not enough. Really a Big piece of Land to be further develop for a long time. Who says Singapore got no space. This Big Space has been sitting here for a long time.

Town Chinese Garden

Image
This is name after the MRT station and the Garden. Should be still under Jurong  District. One of the most spacious area in Singapore. Still got a BIG PATCH of Empty land from the station to the Garden.. Together is Japanese Garden and a Big Jurong Lake.

There Was a Time - National Museum Singapore

Image
Some sort of Street Meeting. Museum Corridor There Was a Time National Museum on a  Saturday afternoon is too quiet, even its free. As Singapore barely  comes out with a collection of "History Exhibit" If Some Philosopher are Right about their Theory. History do share you some Intelligence, even it is a Things of The Past. There was a Time. Things for sure NOT so Clean and Order in those days. NB : Some sort of Street Meeting. NB2 : Museum Corridor

Pinnacle Duxton - Residence Tanjong Pagar Town

Image
Pinnacle Duxton Pinnacle Duxton This a  Award Winning Architecture Building. Looks really like a Private Residential. But it is a Public Housing HDB too. Sort of Project Reps of Singapore Housing Plan Modern. It is really tall at 50 level. A Residential Sky Scraper. Singapore is really proud of its Residential Housing Achievement. A Well Sought-After City Planner and Builder. It is not just the Building House itself, but a Complete Holistic Total Town Plan - A  One-Stop Solution Begin to End

Latest H.D.B. Flat , Punggol Town Singapore

Image
 H.D.B. Flat , Punggol Town Singapore        H.D.B. Flat , Punggol Town Singapore Singapore Housing Plan is a more generous one in the world. Government Sometime in the early years will Compulsory "Use" Private Land for Public Purpose. This is the "Socialist Side" of Singapore Style. H.D.B. stands for Housing Development Board. Obviously built house. Punggol has some of the New Residential Housing Block. Line between Flats and Condo is Blur these days. 

Singapore River Again

Image
Singapore River Again Singapore River seems to going to be some Mature Lady, looks good at all Angle. Now there is even a New Viewing Platform, convenience sitting for passer-by. The Whole row of Old house probable now consider Premium High Price in the Property Line. The River Seems to Big and Empty will just some Tour Boat. And may be some Rare Regatta Boat. Really dun know what kind of Boat suit this rather empty river Singapore these day

Town Pungol - Far East Of Singapore

Image
Pungol Morning   Town Pungol - Far East Of Singapore The Town is as the same constituent as Pasir Ris. But it is Not so near. Even got to pass through a Highway. The Town is so new that it Central Mall is not totally complete. The Outer Exterior is still under going the Final Work. The Mall Interior is Up and the Activity is On in the Morning beside the Water Park. This Capture the Town Building, the Water and some People Activity.

Above All - Tangjong Pagar Town.

Image
This is the De-Facto No 001 residence of the Tangjong Pagar Town. There used to be a Old Salted Chicken around the Cantonment Area. Now it is the Pinnacle Duxton. Even local got to pay a fee up the 50th floor. The Wind is really Strong up there. met two guy from Germany. A quick walk around brings quite a number of Quality Capture., 360 degree Singapore. This is Not a Pure commercial one. But a Project with Journalistic Editorial Style. Probably will score a "Presence" with the Ten Town Series. Of course with Good Photography and some explanation. ( Not Really a Story Yet). But really looks like a Genuine Photography Project.

World Busiest Port - Singapore

Image
World Busiest Port - Singapore This is one of those Title that was Drilled in for Singapore. Before there is T3 Changi Airport, before the Garden by the Bay and many other "Modern Achievement". After all it is the Busiest Port in the First Place , First of All. There is few Category, like Container, probably some Efficiency and Quality Category. But Singapore as a Key Place for Shipping Sea Route, never diminish. This is the Shot taken from the Duxton Pinnacle. High Vantage Point.

The Fire Town - Ten Town Singapore Series

Image
Cannot find the Fire of the Fire Town Lavender. It use to be some Power Station like Natural Gas Related industrial Area. Now is Some Immigration Office and residential. This the Old Block beside the ICA Building. Not all Town is standard Full Size, Some are small Groups of House Block. Small but cumulatively form a quite big part of residential Singapore. This is one of them, the Other side is the Beach Road, more of City Center already.

Merlion Park + City Skyline , Panaroma

Image
Not the Most Perfect Shot, but cover much of the City Center Skyline close up. Probably will do a Print Out for this, guess there is demand. Still quite tourist look with the Merlion Statue. Will move to more Town Series. Max out to the North Woodland Town. Plus some Interesting Town Like Lim Chu Kang, or some New Newton like Punggol Waterways, or even Tan Kha Kee. The GIMP software is up. And the Full Power Editing. Complete the Production Process.

Double Vision

Image
Capitol Building Capitol Building There always 2 side of the same things. There is this Regionalisation going on, there is also this Nationalisation too. Guess this two is going to have some Big Clash Soon. It will takes a brigade of hulk to settle this dispute. Guess putting SG as a Small Capitol of South East Asia , will let it stay at a Higher Ground. Since it is unavoidable. It is good for Trade and commercial. Not so good for Security for Some. Guess Capitol Building was Restored for the Right Time.

Cow Car Water

Image
A non Chinese New Year Chinatown. This is usual look of Chinatown Singapore. It is call Cow Car Water literally Gu-Chia-Sui in Dialect Niu-Che-Shui in mandarin. It is currently overrun by the Mainland Chinese doing business in Singapore. A Flag-Ship store Yue-hua sell everything Made in China. The Food Stall now has Northern Chinese Noodle and Dumplings. The New Chinatown Point is the Modern Version. They has the whole Mall Carpeted, like those Hotel Event Hall. Still quite a good destination generally for weekend

Some Journalistic Style

Image
Red Hill Red Hill Really looks like some sentimental journalistic style. Red Hill seems qualified to be one of the Old Town of Singapore. Facilities are still New and Usable for many Standard, but for Singapore even a Brand New Facilities can be considered Old just after a few years. A weird Standard even for the local. The authorities seems eager to change everything as fast as possible, regardless of condition. Imagine a big National Stadium , Tonnes of Concrete was tear down, when its seems able to hold a Word Cup Soccer Game.
