X Week 46

X Week 46 10-17/11/19

Been very slack with the photo taking these past couple of weeks. I think once I get back from work after a day of shooting in the studio, it's hard to get motivated to pick up my camera and go out. So, what Im posting in place will be some shots that I wanted to post, but had passed the shot a week date by several weeks or months. Here's the legendary fire dancers from Taiwan during the Singapore grand Prix. More soon.

X Week 40

Year X Week 40 29/9- 6/10/19

This will be the last of the Singapore photos... I think. There's a whole album on Flickr if you want to to see it.

Here's a low angle shot of the magnificent Jewel at Singapore's Changi Airport. A wonder from all angles. More soon.

X Week 39

Year X Week 39 22-29/9/19

So glad i brought my wide lens for this one. The scale of The Jewel is incomprehensible... you really have to see it to believe it. This is my 2nd trip to the Jewel since it opened in March, and it's still amazing. I must try to get there at night for the light show and see how that turns out.

Anyway, here's the vortex/waterfall at the Jewel taken from the top floor, looking down as the sky train moves people from the terminals. All in 14mm wide! More soon.

X Week 38

Year X Week 38 15-22/9/19

Here's the obligatory shot from the Grand Prix. I usually do a Daniel Ricciardo shot, or a single car close-up, but this time, because of where we were sitting, i thought the shot of the first corner at race start would be much better. You can see more race shots in my Flickr album. More soon.

X Week 37

Year X Week 37 8-15/9/19

Got a month of posting to catch up on. Finally got through my Singapore photos and have now whittled them down to one favourite from each week. So over the next few days, I';; be posting several shots to catch up with my shot a week.

This was taken from the rooftop bar of the National Gallery of Singapore. I probably have hundreds if not thousands of shots of Marina Bay Sands, but it's one of those iconic buildings that you just can't stop looking (or shooting) at in amazement.

Here's a panoramic shot of the Marina Bay skyline. More soon.

X Week 17

Year X 17 22-29/4//19

The Jewel at Changi airport. This enormous structure is the new attraction at the Singapore Changi airport. In middle is this huge waterfall falling into a large vortex with a 3 or 4 storey vertical garden. I'm not surprised if it's the largest of its kind in the world. And surroundings this are lots of retail and food shops. It truely is amazing, and a good reason to get to the airport early. More next week.

9Week 39 23-30/9/18

Almost caught up to date with the posting... almost. Here's one of my favourite from Little India in Singapore. Was walking through and found this street art on a patch of grass almost in the middle of nowhere. More soon.

9Week 38 16-23/10/18

Another one from Singapore. This time from the famous Little India. I saw this really colourful house and pulled out the wide angle 14mm and shot... capturing the pigeon in mid-flight was one of those one in a lifetime flukes. More soon.

9Week 36 2-9/9/18

Finally caught up with my snaps from the trip. So I'm going to post them according to the dates/week that they were taken.

Took a bit of selecting, but this has got to be my favourite for the week. Shot from the entrance of Clifford Pier... now a restaurant and hotel lobby, but years ago it was the place to go to get a boat trip off the island. The restoration to this whole area is remarkable. More soon.

Week8 40

Week8 40 30 Sep - 7 October

Finally posting on time! About to head out for a shoot, but I thought I'd get this post out.

Here's one from Singapore... shot during a really hot day in Chinatown. Then again, they're all hot days in Singapore. More next week.

Week8 39 23-30 September

If you're ever at Terminal 3 at Changi Airport Singapore, stop by at the Butterfly enclosure, and don't forget your camera.

There's a great 10m by 10m, 2 story space that is filled with hundreds of all kinds of butterflies at various stages of their lifecycle... it truely is wondrous.

This shot was taken while one of the more majestic looking ones just came to rest not even a foot away. More next week.

Week8 38

Week8 38 16-23 September

Another late post... about 5 days late... might be a record. I'm just playing a bit of catch up while I get my shots from Singapore sorted.

Here's one taken at the National Gallery in Singapore. This was taken at an installation that essentially was a room full of balls that change colour every few seconds. Here's another instance of shooting the shooter. This time a mobile phone  shooter taking a shot of the installation. More next week.

Week8 36

Week8 2-9 September

2 Chinatowns in a week... surely there must be record for some thing like this. Was out walking yesterday in Singapore and caught this shot of a couple of tourist shooting a statue, only thing was one was doing a selfie. You could say I was shooting the shooter and so was the selfie taker. More next week from the Grand Prix.

Week8 29

Week8 29 15-22 July

On a nearly 2 week hiatus from posting, so it's good to be back posting again. Took a little trip to Singapore for 10 days, didn't do much shooting, but there was enough shots for a nice little album. I'll probably do that on Flickr some time soon.

So here's one of the iconic Marina Bay Sands and a random tourist who was nice enough to be part of the picture. More next week.

Week 37

Week 37  22-29 September

Nearly there. I'm almost caught up with my postings. This one is from a curious light installation at the ArtScience Museum. You can even walk through the lights. It's magical. More soon.

Week 35

Week 35 - 8-15 September

Still catching up. Here's one from the old train station in Singapore. My Grandfather used to be a train driver and worked from this station, so being in there, did bring some good memories. More soon.

279 - 5/10/14

Early start tomorrow, so my camera's all packed away and besides, I spent most of the day lazing around. So here's one from Singapore during JLo's concert.

I have to admit, it's a rare site to see only one camera up in the air. Mind you I love to shoot at concerts as well, but when you throw selfie-sticks into the mix, then it's like looking through a sea of antennae with an illuminated top from every vantage point. Still, you can't have it all. More tomorrow.

277 - 3/10/14

Been uploading shots from the trip to Singapore, and now I have a backlog of photos that'll probably take all night to complete.

Anyway, here's one from the Peranakan (Straits Born Chinese) Museum. More tomorrow.

275 - 1/10/11

Took this yesterday before boarding the red eye back to Melbourne. Am posting this at the end of what seems to be a really long and eventful day.

Landed at 7 am, unpacked and did some housework by 10, grouted the bathroom floor by noon, did laundry by 2, went out for dinner and watched 3 bands play with my old friend Tom... So yes it's been a really busy 24+ hours. More tomorrow.
