Let’s do a recap of a few of my favourite footage from this journey!
Ginza Crossing
Ginza is a really upscale procuring and enterprise district within the middle of Tokyo. This specific intersection is fairly closely photographed (in truth you’ll in all probability see some very related footage just like the above when you search) however I wanted to get my model of it. The structure of the constructing is a little more basic than the remainder of this ultra-modern part of Tokyo, and I used a number of exposures to seize the sunshine trails of the varied vehicles going by the intersection to border the underside of the constructing with a little bit of modernity.
Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower is likely one of the most distinct landmarks of the large Japanese metropolis. It towers above the remainder of the skyscrapers and provides a little bit of colour to all the grey buildings. I went on a morning stroll to the bottom of it and really struggled to suit all of it in the identical image, however I ended up being fairly proud of this one, although there’s an enormous quantity of distortion from being at 16mm on my wide-angle lens.
I did some timelapses of the dawn and sundown from my resort in Tokyo if you wish to verify these out as properly!
Burj Khalifa
I took a random one-day journey into Dubai on the finish of my journey to see some pals and get this shot. It’s laborious to overstate simply how tall the Burj Khalifa is, which is why I’m so proud of this image. I’m going to return and tweak a number of extra issues earlier than it goes into my portfolio, however I believe my favourite half simply is perhaps the vehicles on the highway on the backside proper, you may see the streaks of their headlights, giving a way of movement to an in any other case nonetheless image. This was a straightforward choose for Image of the Week.
Singapore Skyline
The Singapore Skyline is dramatic and epic, particularly on a windless night time. It was extremely humid this night time, in any other case I’d’ve placed on my neutral-density filter to get some actually lengthy publicity time and fully easy out the water, however I just like the distinction between the starkness of the skyscrapers towards the smoothness of the colours within the water.
Butterfly on one other leaf!
As you may inform from my article in regards to the Butterfly Backyard at Changi Airport in Singapore, I cherished the Butterfly Backyard! I like this image for a lot of causes, however most of all as a result of the composition could be very robust. The butterfly is within the backside third of the picture with the leaves creating some good destructive house on the high of the body. I devibranced this image a bit in post-processing which I assumed was a pleasant contact, because it’s straightforward to oversaturate footage like this.
Supertrees
The Supertrees on the Gardens by the Bay had been superb! They seem like they’re from a distinct planet and are merely huge! It was laborious to slender it all the way down to an image I preferred essentially the most however I picked this one due to the Skyway linking the timber. I like having people within the image to present a way of scale to the timber. The sky was actually fascinating on this shot as properly I assumed, it wasn’t an explosive sundown or something however there are some comfortable colours that make the colourful greens of the Supertrees stand out much more.
Marina Bay Sands
The sunshine present on the Marina Bay Sands is, truthfully, form of a letdown. That mentioned, when you’re a photographer you kinda must do it. I just like the composition right here and left a little bit of destructive house within the higher proper on function. What I want I might’ve captured had been the inexperienced lasers that additionally shoot out from the highest of the constructing however I can at all times return to strive once more!
Singapore Skyline
That is my favourite image of the whole journey! I went as much as the bar atop the largest Supertree (15 tales up!) within the Gardens by the Bay and sneakily arrange my tripod for this shot. I cherished the sky and the refined yellows and purples as your eye strikes nearer to the horizon. Additionally I actually preferred that I used to be capable of get the Marina Bay Sands and an enormous a part of the CBD skyline in the identical shot!
Hope you loved my little photograph wrap-up! There might be some extra articles popping out of this journey quickly, together with a visit report about Qatar Airways Enterprise Class on the brand new A350!
