Photowalk - Vicinity Around Singapore River (2 Aug 2015)

Long overdue, but took these photos while walking around the Singapore River.

Set-up: Fujifilm X-T1 with XF 35mm f1.4

Since it was a week before our Golden Jubilee SG50 National Day, I was trying to compose photographs with nation-building theme.

The Singapore River was an excellent choice, since commerce started here in the early days.

There were many bridges with historic value along the river. They were very good subjects for photography. Skyscrapers made good backdrop too.

Here goes.

It takes more than bolts and nuts to build a nation. 

Outside Fullerton Hotel.

A composition on Anderson Bridge with the Victoria Concert Hall.

Below Esplanade Bridge. Shadows of the bridge formed a symmetry, creating an interesting view. Maybe it looked like a tunnel, maybe it looked like a 'K'. The latter was what I thought when I took this picture.

U-turn. Below Esplande Bridge. Notice how the bridge took up most of the frame, and the U-turn sign appeared to be prompting a change of direction? Indeed, sometimes it takes courage to start all over again. 

A scene on the Jubilee Bridge, looking at Marina Bay Sands (MBS).

Finally, a Japanese (I think) couple having their wedding photo-shoot near the Merlion. I was glad that the Fujifilm lens performed superbly!
Stay tuned for more! :)
