Hi All,

Time for our monthly outing again. I guess many guys wanna take some photos at the new Gardens by the Bay. It’s a great place to shoot sunrise/sunset/flowers/landscapes. Let’s get there early to start w/ sunrise photos, then continue until we decide to stop.

Date: 21 July 2012
Time: 6:00am onwards
Venue: Gardens by the Bay


The best place to meet up is where we shoot sunrise, but I really don’t know which spot is the best place for that. Someone posted here that the Bay South Garden is a good place for sunrise/sunset photography, maybe you guys would know more about this? Let’s figure out this later on.

To get you guys excited, here are some really nice photos by Kenny Teo:
Kenny Teo (zoompict)'s Photostream

Please leave your nick/name here so we’d know how many guys would love to join. BTW, the new K-30 camera would be in town by later part of this week, hopefully some of you would be kind enough to show us yours if you decide to be early adopters ;)

Cheers and happy shooting!

Just to let you guys know that I still got a few AA battery holders/adapters for Kr/K30 cameras. If you want one, just join the outing or stop by there :) I only got 4 or 5 left, so better reach there earlier if you want one ;)
 

Hi, for sunrise, a good spot to start is the end point after crossing the bridge from MBS. It is shown in one of the picts in Kenny's photostream. U can see the supertrees and conservatory as well as the Flyer from that vantage point. The sun will be rising from the left side over the conservatories.

The Gardens is huge, so do hydrate yourselves adequately and wear comfy clothes and good walking shoes. You can walk all the way to the Marina Barrage.

Have fun.

oh, now that u mentioned the K30 will be out this week, time to gather suggestions for lenses, accessories for me. Do give your suggestions in the other thread.

Thanks guys.

Thanks. The MBS bridge sounds like a good place to get together :) Just hope the weather is good for sunrise.
