To Punggol, With Love

eikin · 5th March 2007

have been receiving quite a couple of emails requesting information about shooting in Punggol,
so decided to create this thread as a summary of some of the whereabouts and photography
opportunities ...

update 17/02/2008

location 1,2,3,4 are difficult to access due to overgrown vegetation.

night86mare's little adventure reminded me that not everyone can tahan chionging this place in berms and sandals

some tips

1. wear shoes with good footing for trekking, preferably old shoes that allows for substantial dirtying
2. long pants or jeans will be preferable, but jeans not recommended for early morning, for protection against prickly grasses
3. get some insect repellent if going in early/late hours (burning coils are more effective as far as i've experienced)
4. get some sun protection (sunblock, cap etc.)
5. get some rain protection (umbrella, plastic bags ... in case sudden rain comes and the nearest shelter is a couple of hundreds of metres away)
6. bring water supplies

WARNING

do exercise caution when accessing and shooting at location 12.

Gentle note

please keep the places clean as you go about the area. the area has suffered abit of pollution from garbage left by campers, barbeque party makers and those who come fishing.

do remind me of adding any other useful tips for those who have had experienced the place
