One of the reasons why I'm asking if anyone is familiar with that park.

Yeh, the last time I went to the wrong place and also had to go fishing for my lens cap.

Oh My...
Luckily it is lens cap only, but still have to look for a replacement.

Here are a few suggestions:

1) Punggol : Can try Matilda House and Punggol Beach
Pro: Can try capturing shots of the famous Matilda House
Can move over to Sungei Punggol side where there is quite a lot of nature vegetation
Con : The distance in between Matilda House and Punggol Beach is quite far.
Nothing much interesting except Matilda House.

2) NTU Campus
Pro: Nice Building Structure
Con: Very far in the West

3) Labrador Park
Pro: Nice Jetty outstretch into the sea
Con: Transportation
May not have many interesting subject for a 4 hours shooting session

4) Kranji War Memorial
Pro: Nice Scenery
Con: Transportation

Thanks for all your suggestions Francis.

Labrador Park: Nothing much really, except for the long jetty reaching out to the sea.

NTU Campus: Don't think there's a lot of foliage for a mixed green and architecture shoot.

Kranji War Memorial: Really is too far for some.

From your list looks like Matilda House and the area around is ideal for a shoot. How far is the Punggol Beach from Matilda House, any means of public transport?

So it's between Bishan Park and Matilda house for the shoot on 25th June 2006 #10.

Since you live around there and familiar with the area. Would you be kind enough to take the lead for the group to Matilda House and the surrounding area? If you're available on that day, can start a thread for the outing?

May be a bit far for some (including me), but I guess many do not realise the house is standing there beside the MRT Stn.

just wondering, would you guys think the area around seletar air base is interesting for photo shoot? since now its open to public access...

Thanks for you suggestion.

Is it accessable by public transport? Most of us depend on that to go around.

[Qazwer]

I can do free ferry service from Sengkang MRT to Punggol.

Looks like near to Jalan Kayu ... That part of Singapore is quite interesting for IR.
