Architecture：At the Helix Bridge, Singapore
5-6 June 2010 - I was back in Singapore for holiday from 4 to 6 June 2010 and on 5 June, I met up with Nicholas and gang to celebrate Nick's birthday and they brought me to the new Helix Bridge.
"The Helix Bridge (Chinese: 螺旋桥), previously known as the Double Helix Bridge (Chinese: 双螺旋桥), is a pedestrian bridge linking Marina Centre with Marina South in the Marina Bay area in Singapore. It was officially opened on April 24, 2010 at 9 pm.[1] It is located beside the Benjamin Sheares Bridge and is accompanied by a vehicular bridge, known as the Bayfront Bridge." - wikipedia
I was amazed by Nick's captures of the bridge and had since wanted to visit the beautiful structure myself. So, I was very excited when Nick told me that we'd be going there.
What's my first impression of the bridge?
I was half excited and half disappointed. Excited because it was one of the most beautiful man-made structure I have ever seen and I was proud to be a citizen of the country who owns it. On the other hand, I was disappointed because the bridge was only 80% open and there were lots of construction work going on on the other end of the bridge. I just don't like construction sites to be in my landscape photos.

Pavement under the bridge
Just a boat nearby. I had to post process the color to make it look more interesting
We had limited time at the Helix because we had to celebrate Nick's birthday and that was our main purpose there, not photography.
I was free from appointments the next day, so I decided to go back there and shoot to my heart's content.

The shots of Helix I took the day before were all so cliche (they all look the same as Nick's), and so I thought that I needed to be creative and come out with something new.

That was the best I could do with my limited creativity.

Architecture：Tokyo Tower
Note: If you are reading this post from facebook, I suggest you click here to read the original post in black.
2 May 2010 - This Golden Week, after failing to get tickets to Nara, I could only stay in my room for the whole 7 days holiday. I woke up on Sunday morning feeling restless and a strong urge to go somewhere, I brought my camera, EF-S10-22mm F3.5-4.5 USM and tripod, and headed towards Tokyo Tower.
I have stayed in Tokyo for 2.5 years, have seen Tokyo Tower countless times, but I have never been to the foot of Tokyo Tower.
Let's start with some standard shots of Tokyo Tower:

After that, I got hungry and went into the food court for a bowl of ramen.
Tokyo Tower was exhibiting Michael Jackson's goods and collections but it said "No Photography Inside", and I am not a huge fan of MJ so I didn't go in. I was more interested in going up to the observatory but the queue was sooooo looooonnnnnng that I gave up as well.
I stepped out of the Tokyo Tower Mall and was planning to go back but Tokyo Tower caught my eye again.

The lights changed colors. I set up my tripod again and took a few more dozens of shots (same angle but with different settings).

Looking at other people struggling to capture Tokyo Tower with their handphone cameras, I felt really satisfied with my works.. haha
However, I kept telling myself that I need to photograph Tokyo Tower like no one has ever done it before. The chance came as I was heading back towards the JR train station...
The temple was closed but there were no barricades. It was total darkness inside but I didn't give a second thought and simply just walked into it. And this was what I saw...
Large View On Black
It was so dark inside that my autofocus did not work. I had to manual focus and try numerous different settings. It was clear sky and they were a few stars. The line was formed by a passing airplane.
Overall, I think this is the best series I ever shot.
