This photograph was taken from the board walk of Clifford Pier looking towards Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. Some of the landmarks in the photograph included (from left) Singapore Flyer, ArtScience Museum and Marina Bay Sands.
A water taxi with tourists on board was making a left turn. The long exposure captured the light trials in front of the landmarks. The colourful landmarks provided attractive background to nightscape.

Has the nights are getting long and the rush hour begins. I head to a motorway (highway) bridge to create light trails.
And live in the light, to spread the light, so that you can be the light!
All these long-exposure Light Trial captures were taken, from over the Great Charles Street Queensway Bridge, which is a narrow footway bridge crossing over from between Church St to Ludgate Hill St of the Inner Ring Road around Birmingham City Centre.
Which I used my 8mm Fisheye lens to capture the wide expanse of this Queensway Inner Ring Road.
Many thanks for your kind comments and compliments to all here, my dear good flicker friends !!!
U.S. Route 64 runs from the Four Corners area, where Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico come together. Through New Mexico the highway passes through Shiprock in San Juan County. After taking a full moon shot at Shiprock (www.flickr.com/photos/184332056@N02/51698392564/in/datepo...), we decided to take photo of car light trails along the highway.
The US 64 was indeed a busy route. Even at night, there were so many big trucks travelling on the highway. Every time when the big trucks passing through, my friend and I got excited, waving to the drivers and cheering each other, as if we went back to the childhood happiest moment.
Polaroid Week 2023 SS - Day 6 #1
On my recent trip to Rome, after having dinner in the Testaccio neighbourhood, we walked to the nearest metro station which was
Piramide and then noticed, this fantastic gate lit up.
I didn't know what it was at the time, but wanted to take a light trial in front of this, something a little less obvious in Rome, than the Colosseum.
Polaroid Now+ - F22 15 seconds
This is a follow up image to a similar posting of a Loch Leven sunset a few weeks ago. I was trying to create some very simply composed images with difficult light scenarios to test my new Canon 16-35 f4 L.
The Canon is much sharper than the Sigma which is great for catching detail but it is less forgiving of movement and diffraction and whilst the Canon is not terrible for flaring I am comparing it to one of the best lenses out there for resisting internal reflections and so it just doesn’t match up. I had to work very hard to reduce the flare in the foreground of this image to make it reasonable and even now I’m not that happy.
The aim of this shot is to get full strength sunlight into the centre of the lens (I know it is off-centre but that was artistic license) with a strong reflection from the water. My previous test was a low light trial whereas this is a too much light trial. I must admit I like the play of the light on the water and way it slightly curves around the foreground rock just helps to break the shape a little. The rock is a little soft at the edges but I think that was me (or possibly the water) causing movement and affecting the exposure.
I’ve now reached the consensus that the comparison between my new lens and my old Sigma is just not really like for like. They have very different strengths and weaknesses and I suppose what I should focus on is getting the best out of the one currently fitted to my camera. That and start saving up for the Canon 11-24 L. :-)
Normally I would concentrate on getting light trials from the trains when taking this image but as the light turned golden, the lines of the tracks stood out and I think made for an interesting image without any need for in camera trickery.
Polaroid Week 2025 AW - Day 5 #1
(Liu) Family Affair 2025
The humble family portrait according to me and my Polaroid sensibility.
This was taken near Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, and we wanted the capture the spirit of sleepy gashapons by doing a family portrait of us falling asleep.
Except my teenage daughter decided not to play ball and do her own thing, staring right into the camera!
But these are the important Polaroids, far more important that the models, light trials and other creative Polaroid I take!
A long exposure shot of this historical street in Kyoto, Japan.
This place is truly steeped in tradition!
Had to tradeoff some DOF to shorten the exposure as I had a few earlier attempts ruined by passing cars’ light trials.
This was one of my earlier long exposure attempts, with Nikon D800E and AF-S 24-70mm f2.8 G. So yeah, DSLRs are still more than good enough even today especially for stills and shot made on tripod, they also represent excellent values in today’s overpriced mirrorless market.
Fundamental changes when I added a mirrorless kit many years ago;
1) Totally forgo the 24-70 f2.8 standard zoom which I found overly bulky and heavy during my DSLR days.
2) FE 55mm f1.8 ZA became a nice proxy for the bulky standard zoom.
3) Partly because of (1) above, I took to shooting with an 85mm f1.4 which allowed me to create really special images that’s just not possible with a standard f2.8 zoom.
My main mirrorless 3 lens kit thus became;
a) UWA: FE 16-35mm f2.8 GM
b) Standard Prime: FE 55mm f1.8 ZA and
c) Fast short tele Prime: FE 85mm f1.4 GM.
Might eventually replace the FE 55mm f1.8 ZA with the new FE 50mm f1.4 GM although I’m in no hurry since I’m quite happy with the color fidelity and compactness of the ZA.
Having held out against the FE 50mm f1.2 GM in favor of a potential smaller and lighter f1.4 alternative, I’m pleasantly surprised that Sony is bringing out its own f1.4 version just as Sigma is launching theirs.

Long-exposure photography or time-exposure photography involves using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture the stationary elements of images while blurring, smearing, or obscuring the moving elements. The paths of moving light sources become clearly visible.
When a scene includes both stationary and moving subjects (for example, a fixed street and moving cars or a camera within a car showing a fixed dashboard and moving scenery), a slow shutter speed can cause interesting effects, such as light trails.
Long exposures are easiest to accomplish in low-light conditions, but can be done in brighter light using neutral density filters or specially designed cameras.

第一次嘗試拍車軌. 楊梅裕成南路的小公園, 是個荒廢的公園, 好像沒啥人氣, 只有我在那邊拍攝, 可惜草有點高.
This is my first time to capture the light trail. Thank you for your visit !
The results of my first experience with light painting and the one benefit of winter coming, darker nights.
This is something that I have wanted to try for a while and tried it out with the PhotoSoc. I hope you enjoy
The power station is no longer in use as it was decommissioned early this year. I was lucky enough to drive a 130 mile journey to capture this before its demise.

S Curve. U Valley. Had great fun with a group of photographers capturing these light trails. Although we experimented for about hour there was a relatively short window to get a good balanced exposure for the ambient light and sufficient contrast in the light trials. We also had to contend with cars parking and turning round in the lay-by in the bottom of the frame (the cheek of it :-)) and waiting for different combination of cars to drive by. This was a 30 second exposure capturing a single car moving through the scene.

This has got to be my favourite spot in Paris for shooting. You certainly couldn't get away with being in a location like this in the UK!!!
I discovered it when I was over there in February last year and have gone back to it each time I've visited Paris on Business. In February I've learned that it is only mediocre in the dark but in September it is amazing. I was hoping for a lovely sunset but annoyingly that came the next night when I was the other side of the river in La Defense itself. Still, I'm happy with what I got on Monday night. Hope you agree.
