I like no.4 best. I used to stay in Teban when i was a child. Moved out when i was 10 years old. Your pics bring back sweet memories.

[tanhb]

Wow. The lighting on the last shot is nice.

[horizon_grazer]

Nice pics w/ great tone n contrast
From the dark moody theme of #1 n #2 transiting to light n hope streaking thru in #3-5

Maybe is also bcoz of the fond memories it brings
Grew up & stay in Teban Gardans for ~20 yrs before moving on

Care to share your settings as well? The pic looks very sharp with a light HDR kinda look to it.

I used to stay at Blk 33. Is it still there? Studied at Pandan Primary School when i was young. I still remembered a classmate of mine who stayed at blk34 was hacked to death by people with parangs. Mixed with bad company.

Thanks nazure. I burned the corners to give the vignetting effect.

[Terence]

Cool HDR captures, I like!

Hi zoossh, I did some simple burning on the corners. Actually much of the effect came from the HDR processing. I also boosted the colors a bit. Hope that helps. Sorry if I am being very vague because that was what I did. Cheers!

HDR?
#4 Love the rays of the sun!
#5 Like the shadows cast by the clouds.

Hey! Good to know another fellow teban folk. Yeah Teban doesnt really have much 'culture' or beautiful parks except for the wet market which I am hoping to cover before it gets demolished. Cheers!
