Japanese Gardens: Now Open!

[night86mare]

Just thought I'd give you guys the heads-up, went there today, shot Chinese Gardens so many times so was a refreshing change to have something new; similar yet different.

All C&C welcome please.

#1


#2


#3


#4 - IR HDR


More to come, very IR friendly place. Only covered one part, had to run for the sunset back to Chinese Gardens. =)

HDR works well for this

Yep, they're still finishing up some touch-ups, I think, yesterday around sunset there were so many grass cutters walking around, so certain scenes I wanted to take I just avoided, would have ghost trails.

Thanks! =)

Nice pics...the 2 bushes look very outstanding for #3 though.

Where is japanese garden? The only one I can think of is the one beside MacDonalds' at queensway.

Thanks!

Chinese Gardens MRT stop, it is the sister of the Chinese Gardens, accessible via Chinese Gardens (5 min walk from MRT), linked by a bridge. Definitely not in Queensway, more west. Was closed for renovation for quite some time already, finally done! =)
