Intersection

A frame from my timelapse of the Lahaina Noon/September Equinox solar phenomenon in Jurong West at midday on 23 September 2018! This is probably as close as you can get to having the sun directly centred in the frame for this composition, since there's only two times in the year where it'll be directly overhead, thus giving the world around you a very surreal atmosphere with extremely harsh but evenly-lit light, and yet with minimal shadows. Thank goodness for extremely clear skies!

 

Because of this special solar position, tall objects like lamp-posts and bollards will take on an almost 3D-rendered outlook to them, as shadows casted will be directly below any object since the sun is directly above. Buildings and other structures are evenly-lit with harsh sunlight on all sides, making them feel as if they've been 'greenscreened' into your surroundings.

 

Corrected for distortion and flare removal. Buildings and sun positions are untouched.
