Flyer by Night
This is the Singapore Flyer, shot at night from outside the Cloud Forest across Marina Bay.
The Singapore Flyer is an observation wheel at the Downtown Core district of Singapore. Officially opened on 15 April 2008, it has 28 air-conditioned capsules, each able to accommodate 28 passengers.
The Flyer has an overall height of 165 metres (541 ft), making it the world's tallest Ferris wheel upon completion. It was surpassed by the High Roller Ferris wheel which opened in 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, with a height of 167.6 m (550 ft), making it 2.6 m (9 ft) taller than the Flyer.
This is a 30 second exposure intended to get some blur into the water. An unexpected benefit was highlighting the movement of the capsules around the wheel. I used the tripod (obviously) which caused quite a bit of attention, making numerous enthusiastic far east tourists rush to get the same shot - some of them believing it perfectly normal to stand right in front of me😂. All good fun👍
