Singapore - Chinatown - Part II
The night shots!
Following on the from the last series, I got the rest of the pics done and uploaded so here they are, again all shot with two prime lenses
It was the end of a hot and sweaty (and extremely hazy day), the lanterns weren't as impressive as the Bukit Jalil Lantern Festival in Malaysia. Malaysia Boleh!
There's plenty to see (and more importantly photograph) in Singapore Chinatown so I do highly recommend checking it out.


Singapore - Chinatown - Part I
The first day I went to Peninsular Plaza near City Hall MRT stop to buy camera stuff, which no one would be interested in so I'll post it at DigiSniper
Do you care if I got a Giotto rocket air blower?!
The second day I went with my Mom to Chinatown as it's hustle and bustle, bright colours and lantern festival should be interesting, along with some good food you can find there.
Well here we are, alighting at Chinatown MRT station, diving into the heart of Chinatown in Singapore at Pagoda Street and following the tourism boards recommendation for a walk around Chinatown to take in the interesting sites.
First real outing with the new D200
Singapore, a Fine City (You get fined for all kinds of things, like not flushing the toilet, eating chewing gum etc..)

Lanterns lanterns everywhere, the lantern festival at Bukit Jalil heralded nicer lanterns of course.

The Asia Cultural Lantern Carnival 2006 - Bukit Jalil
After my busy night on Friday at the Sunrise on Saturday night I managed to get to the Asia Cultural Lantern Carnival 2006 at Bukit Jalil before it finished on the 30th (Sunday).
I wanted to go as it seems pretty interesting and it was a good opportunity to test out my new Manfrotto tripod and do some difficult night photography.
As I went towards the end of the festival I'd seen quite a few pictures so I tried to get some different more interesting shots.
The entrace fee was also a very reasonable RM5.
Here's my take.
The entrance.

I tried to get there during magic hour, around the sunset, but the traffic was really horrible due to two accidents, so it took me a little longer than I expected.
Did get a couple of shots during sunset before the lights were on.
