Blissfull Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Hi all, was browsing the forum and came across this thread. There are some pretty nice pictures in here. I have a mild interest in photography too, though of late I have been in a kind of funk (the rain isn't helping either when I want to chase sunsets) lately, maybe I'll have some inspiration looking in here. Will share some pictures as soon as i discover how to, have no idea how this forum works.Are you one of the camera photography or the phone photography.

spiffy729 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I shoot film once in a while, and I'd normally do multi-exposures and cross-process where possible. Here are a few scanned from my Velvia100 negs....Nice! X-Pro??

MP, at a time when budding photographers have to cough out big bucks for lessons, your generous gesture will be remembered for a long time to come. My hat off to you! Quote

Wolfe Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Great shots Wolfe, your talent shows!Thank you Photography is one of the few things that can take my mind off things, haha. The whole process of taking photos, editing them is somehow pretty relaxing for me, and when you get the shot that you were looking for and it's like, damn, all the time was worth it.Have a few things I've always wanted to do, but due to financial or other practical reason, I can't do (for now, time lapse, star trails).This is one of my favourite photos, it's pretty heavily edited to bring it closer to what I saw: Quote

Could I take a rain check for after January when I will be back? When is the session? Meanwhile, more photos from me... A couple of infrareds (convert to B&W)... and a normal colored (no editing)...

MeowPrince Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Am looking at late Nov, probably a Friday evening will be better for the sharing session. After work, after school, a nice peaceful cafe in a retro place to chill. Either 18th or 25th Nov.A shot for a housing project (personal)A pair of shots from another recent outinganother multi-exposure film scan Quote Instagram @the_meowprince
Wolfe Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Outings eh, I'm a shy person leh, haha I will keep in view first for now, but evening times chilling out at a cafe sounds great.Sharing a few more photos (all really old photos because I haven't been shooting lately)Last one has a curved horizon which i didn't know how to correct back then I really love Punggol Beach. Haven't been there in a while, must go visit soon, since you can see sunrise and sunset from one place, which to me is damned awesome. Edited October 28, 2011 by Wolfe Quote

I will pass this time. Thanks anyways.... multi-exposure film scanSounds Greek to me . Pray, explain. Edited October 28, 2011 by Marad44 Quote
Guest Marad44 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Last one has a curved horizon which i didn't know how to correct back then Wolfe, I didn't see a curvature. Did you correct it? Is it caused by wide angle? How do you correct it?I really love Punggol Beach... since you can see sunrise and sunset from one place... I've heard this from a few. Any vantage point?Speaking of vantage, has anyone done head-on shoots of flight take off at Changi? The Business Park has been mentioned but where exactly?. Quote
Wolfe Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Wolfe, I didn't see a curvature. Did you correct it? Is it caused by wide angle? How do you correct it?I've heard this from a few. Any vantage point?Speaking of vantage, has anyone done head-on shoots of flight take off at Changi? The Business Park has been mentioned but where exactly?.It's in the middle part. The last two images were hand-held panoramas. Can't remember how many images made up the first of the two, but the 2nd one was made from 15 images.As for vantage points, coming from Punggol Road (End), the sun sets on the left side. You will have to go down to the beach and walk towards the end around a slight bend, and as for sunrise the opposite applies. It's much easier now since I think the park has been built up, so there are proper paved paths as opposed to walking on dirt trails and sand now. I thick it has lost a little of it's charm but at least now there is shelter, as opposed to previously where the only shelter was the police outpost and a bus stop. Quote

Don't mind if I just download and try to edit it. Quote
Wolfe Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 You mean this one? Don't mind if I just download and try to edit it.Go ahead, feel free Back then I didn't know how to correct it in photoshop. fast forward a few years later, I sorta know but too lazy to correct and old image, haha.BTW sometimes punggol end might smell due to the fumes from Pasir Gudang which is across the strait. Go at low-tide as high-tide can render the beach rather hard to navigate. Quote
jtsc Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Die man... after so long neveer use photoshop... totally don't know how to use CS 5... time to go for some courses... Quote

Wolfe Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 didnt know about Punggol beach to take sunset photo. i have to try to go there..i've been to Labrador Park, but they closed the jetty (cant believe it!)..Been going there for quite some time. Background nothing much, perhaps the distant trees and Pasir Gudang, but there are tons of rocks there for an interesting foreground, good for minimalistic long exposure photos.There used to be this very good spot for sunrise, with some dead trees and a huge open field. I think that area has been built up already though, which is very sad. I will see if I can find my friend's photo and post that. Quote
jtsc Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Actually changing boardwalk is also a good place for sunset but it has been raining during the afternoon to late evening. Really have to depend on luck to catch a good sunset. Quote
jtsc Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Actually changi boardwalk is also a good place for sunset but it has been raining during the afternoon to late evening. Really have to depend on luck to catch a good sunset. Quote
Wolfe Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Changi Beach, if you can go there is also a very good place for sunrise. At low tide it's fantastic. Haven't been there myself because of it's location (too far to go in the early morning, by the time I get there, the sun will already be rising and very little time to set up). Labrador park is good for sunset, Chinese Gardens can be nice too. Quote

Wolfe Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 yeah, i heard bout that spot too. its on my go-to list Last time i went there part of the boardwalk was closed for preventive maintenance or something. Couldn't get to the so-called good spot for sunset Quote
jtsc Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Think it was completed when I went there last month. Quote
Wolfe Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 From my friend. I think the trees have since been either removed or fell on their own and I think there is some construction still going on.Beautiful place. Quote

Wolfe Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Punggol right?Yes, Punggol. It's just pretty accessible but I'm not sure if the construction has disrupted some of the beauty. Shall provide a FR the next time I get around to going to Punggol.You can check out my friend's photostream at:http://www.flickr.com/photos/hxkenneth/He has some amazing macro shots as well. Quote
spiffy729 Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Agreed. Those're some sick macro shots. Quote "One of the best things about a forum is that it's a place where you can find the most random and outrageous quotes on the internet." - Ghandi
gmick Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Yes, Punggol. It's just pretty accessible but I'm not sure if the construction has disrupted some of the beauty.

MeowPrince Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Wolfe/jtsc/gmick - Punggol had a lot of nice spots. Just that most of them got replaced by the Sungei Serangoon boardwalk/PCN and the new waterfront park. I've had a chance to shoot a number of them previously, and several were exhibited when the Greendale schools had their official openings. Matilda House was a lovely place until an army of idiots from another forum bashed the place, after which the police actually spot-checked and chased off photography enthusiasts for a period. The lallang fields off the former Old Fishing Port Road are gone too. Below are just some samples off my archives to share.It you want to shoot beaches, think the turn of the tide's 30-minute window is the best. A sturdy tripod and 30- to 90-second exposures are expected if you want to get the smoky milky look. Quote Instagram @the_meowprince
MeowPrince Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 can i be included in future photoshoots?Of course, this is an open forum. When you see any outings being posted, just PM the corresponding organiser. Quote Instagram @the_meowprince
MeowPrince Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 So, anyone else keen on a get-together sharing session?Am looking at Nov 25th, its a Friday evening. Or will a Saturday morning, combined with a generic walkabout be better? Quote Instagram @the_meowprince
MeowPrince Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 share a rocks-and-water shot by a friend of mineHe'd go around Changi, Punggol, and anywhere where there are rocks and water. He is a 25-yo hobbyist, and his works have won international accolades too. Quote Instagram @the_meowprince
Wolfe Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I think Changi Rock is the most photographed rock in Singapore Beautiful photo, though.And I was stunned by that picture of the ruin's thing you took - never knew it even existed Quote
jtsc Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Anyone who goes to Changi Broadwalk will more or less take a shot of that rock. The tree and it are almost as good as the signature of that place. Quote
Wolfe Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Anyone who goes to Changi Broadwalk will more or less take a shot of that rock. The tree and it are almost as good as the signature of that place.Yep. Also have a shot of the rock and tree as well if there is a outing, i can go if it's in the evenings after 8pm, though i will have to confirm. Quote

Anyway nowadays I also seldom go shooting. Only join my friends once in a while. Quote
MeowPrince Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 And I was stunned by that picture of the ruin's thing you took - never knew it even existed....if there is a outing, i can go if it's in the evenings after 8pm, though i will have to confirm.The place is called Matilda House. Used to belong to the maternal grandmother of the Cashin family. You'll find the gravestone of Cashin in a corner of Fort Canning.I'll be doing the gathering in late Nov. Outing-wise, it'll be as and when my work allows, so may be rather short notice.....anyone want to go shoot graves?or do macro? Quote Instagram @the_meowprince
koalabear Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Meow Prince, do you mind if I post this here? We need a full time photographer's assistant for a well-known Singaporean photographer. I was wondering if anyone in your group or reading these posts would be interested or might know someone who was. PM me if so. Thanks and don't mean to hijack the thread. Quote
