I tried to recreate an artistic-cinematic environment. The processing was done entirely in lightroom, I hope you like it
I got into photography in 2008 when I was assisting a landscape photographer and got bit by the shutter bug. Finally, I had a no-B.S. hobby for the first time in my life.
Sunrise shots require a lot of work & commitment, such as getting up early. I'm a night owl and hate getting up when the skies are still dark, but I promised myself to shoot a sunrise at the Marina Bay at some point.
By 2009 I had acquired the necessary gear for a multi-exposure pano and a Merlion sunrise shot was no.1 on the list. This was the 3rd attempt, and everything timed out perfectly.
Living a long way from the equator gives longer days in the summer, and dusk that lasts for ages. The so-called "golden hour" clocks in at well over an hour, plenty of time to figure out the shot you're planning.
When you're just north of the equator, things are different. The duration of the days and nights barely change across the year, and the transition from bright to dark is fast. Instead of having long gradual transitions and time to enjoy the changing hues of the sky, Singapore's dusk is compressed into a very short time frame.
I was shooting the other way (the downtown CBD skyline) when I heard some tourists oohing and aahing behind me, and turning around, saw the setting sun reflected in a cloud bank behind the Marina Bay Sands casino. It only lasted a few minutes, but everyone waiting for the CBD sky to turn golden did a 180 degree turn to snap this instead.
It was really fun so I tried another cinematic look, this time with the 2.35:1 format and some added grain.

Bought a second Bob XL for our martial arts school and while intermediately having it at home I thought I could as well use it for some photoshooting. Recently read that many movie posters have an orange and a blue tone. Needed to try that out and yes, indeed...

Elvis on Des Voeux Road Central as 7 ton buses pass on either side, with the long exposure creating the electric blasts of light.
The only drawback? 7 tons either side on a long exposure means it's impossible to get the microphone ultra pin-sharp, but the over-all effect of motion against a steady subject draws the eye in.
Gotta figure out a way to stabilize this better so I can get the Shure logo super sharp next time!

Haji Lane is in the Kampong Glam area and has been a counter-culture hotspot for years. It used to be where all the super cheap hostels were for backpackers passing through Singapore, but now it's become the best place for independent fashion, handmade crafts and quirky curios.
The food in this neighborhood has a lovely Middle Eastern flair - incredible kebabs and lovely cafes for chilling out from the afternoon heat. There's a vibrance here that is entirely organic, the area just flourished on its own.
What I loved walking down Haji Lane is that even though I was there at lunch-time (this place comes alive from the mid-afternoon until late) and many shops were shuttered, many of the shutters were painted up in rich colors, like these pacific blue sliding iron grilles.
