Sunrise shoot in Singapore: Marina Bay

Join me for a sunrise shoot in Singapore as I photograph some puddle reflections to get symmetrical photos near the Esplanade, across the Helix Bridge, Marina Bay Sands and the Arts Science Museum.

I’m here near the esplanade again and we have a gorgeous sunrise. So I've shot here in the past before but this is the first time I'm shooting here at sunrise. It's been raining the last night so there’s quite a number of puddles and water just lying around. I’ve got my camera set up on my Leofoto MT-03, as low as possible and I'm at 1.3 seconds f16 iso 64.

Loving the skies that were lit by the rising sun. Two exposures, focus stacked to keep foreground in focus.

Next I head across the Helix Bridge to the Arts & Science Museum to take some photos of the Singapore city skyline reflected off the water lily pond.

Next I find a different composition. This time I experiment with 2 exposures, one with a 6-stop ND filter and another 10-stop ND filter.
