Singapore F1 eve of training race

Since I do not have any Singapore F1 2011 tickets, I couldn't take pictures of the actual race.

Well, the tracks are all lit up on the eve of the first race and I thought I try my luck to see if I can walk into the area.

I'd always drive past the ECP Rochor exit and there is a small footpath along the exit that allows a good shot to the starting line.. And since the roads were closed that night, I had to park quite some distance away and walk towards the highway..

Here are the pictures I took at 2am on 22 Sept 2011.

I also tried some creative effects with Gimp to create the tilt-shift [ toy camera ] effect.

Instructions can be found here.
The result of this effect makes everything looks like miniature. See pic below.

Wanna know the list of current camera gear I am using?

Late Night Kaki Photography @ Fullerton

It was a late thursday night, I called Alex, we packed our gears, kissed our kids and wives goodnight and went to town to try paint it red.

I had just bought a tripod (Weifeng/Fancier Model 531) and wanted to use it for some night stills of the Singapore night skyline. We parked at Connaught Drive and walked around the area looking for a good spot to take some photos.


After 2.5 hours, there were only a handful of nice shots out of the lot that I had taken. Shown here are the selected few that I feel is good enough for public domain.
