Singapore - few photos from a recent trip

Shadowness · 27 Sep 2016 at 10:43

Last week I was in Singapore for a brief business visit, but I was able to stay the weekend. I guess many of you may have been there, but I'd thought I'd share some of my favourite photos from the trip.

I have written a full story at https://danfreemanphoto.exposure.co/singapore

Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys.

Yeh that travelator is a bit of a weird place! I must admit I did enhance the different white balances a little bit, but not too much actually.

Just out of curiosity, which ones are you not keen on and why?

Always after some C+C

Thanks again.
Raymond - no. Why do you ask?

They do take their architecture seriously it seems!

Yep! Some pretty impressive places to visit over there.

love this set of photos! I know how busy Singapore is, amazing how you managed to get most of these photos without anyone else in there!

I was lucky that a lot of places I went to were during the week after work, so it was noticeably quieter.
And some places I got there as it opened, like the Cloud Forest. I was one of the first in, but it was still pretty quiet for the first 30 mins.

Hey Dan just finished reading your New Zealand write up and once again some amazing shots!

Can I ask what size you upload your photos at?

Also it would be great if you could do more of a technical follow up regarding your work flow, post processing style and lenses / settings etc

I would love to read it and I know many more would too, especially as a guest post on Fuji Rumours maybe... Or maybe just a one year on write up to your 'My switch to the dark side' post!

Only just seen this!

I normally upload two sizes for different uses, either 1280 or 2000 pixels wide.

As for the workflow, not really much to say. I put everything in LR and use my own preset.....that's it really.

Let me now if want to know anything specific

I love the photos but am not keen on the editing. It works in some but not in others. The washed out overexposed editing on the Gardens by The Bay photo doesn't help show the true beauty of the place.

Thanks for the feedback.

Which photo do you mean? The waterfall one?

Shadowness · 18 Dec 2016 at 08:25

Overexposed? My laptop must have its brightness screwed then

Which ones for example?

Ok thanks for the opinions.

1 isn't overexposed for me, yes the white parts are, but that's where the light is coming from, difficult to not have that too bright.

Same for the photo of the man lying by the lake. The background is a little bright, but that's not where the attention of the photo is. If I reduced the exposure there, it would look too HDR for me, and I HATE HDR photos.

I had another quick visit there a few weeks ago, and met up with a photographer there. Went rooftopping there too

(Sorry if the photos are too big)
