IMO i tink your 1st pic would be better if you used a longer shutter speed.. I like your 2nd pic.. very good i must say given its your very first nite shot outing.. BTW how did u manage to get up to shears bridge? haf to walk along the whole length of the expressway ar?

cheers

Thanks for replying.Point noted.I guess a longer shutter speed will allow the pic to be lighter.Yep,walked the expressway from marina south mrt station along the expressway for around 45mins before i got there.

Do you shoot it in manual or auto mode?

Yeah, you should expose it at a longer time.

Usually, at F8 aperture, timing is around 20 to 25 seconds - a quide base on my experience ( on asa 100 if using film ).

Isn't it closer if you go up from Suntec via the Rocher exit?

Manual mode.
My aperture was set at F3.5 i think..shutter speed around 8 secs
