Sunrise over Kranji
-
Some pics I took over the weekend..
-
which part of kranji?
-
Ooooh... If only I was there...
-
Beautiful pics. Good eye!
-
The thread starter made Singapore proud. Now i can add Kranji into my list of affordable locations when taking sunrise scenery.
Serious this in Singapore?
-
nicey! I went to aust before and the sunrsise was awesome too.
-
wah! wake up so early.... I cannot do that.
-
yup.. to all those who had doubt that this is in Singapore..
this is indeed in kranji. Kranji Reservoir for those who are interested. its very deserted.. compared to the seletar dam
i was working late from saturday night all the way to sunday morning.. but my desire/ inspiration to come here was sparked off from a trip earlier in the month when i drove past the place mid morning and saw that the sun actually would have come up in that direction. i was driving from Neo Tiew from Lim Chu Kang Rd towards Kranji Road. I stop before crossing the dam and just waited for the time..
i was dogged tired then.. but i guess its worth it.. really made my day although i had to go back to catch some sleep after that.. -
affordable.. hmm.. depends on how u look at it.. there isn any buses ploughing through this place..Originally posted by Farmerseed:The thread starter made Singapore proud. Now i can add Kranji into my list of affordable locations when taking sunrise scenery.

i think the lim chu kang area is full of hidden treasure such as this cos its off everyone's radar and not commonly accessed.
while i was doing in-camp. there are some very spectacular scenery in some of the training areas that are out of bounds to the public.. -
nice pics..=p
-
its a price to pay..Originally posted by Chin Eng:wah! wake up so early.... I cannot do that.
and sometimes it doesn't come cheap.. very often.. with sacrifice.. in this case.. sacrifice some sleep..
for me the time was quite right.. i just had to tahan a bit longer.. and i m glad the outcome wasn't disappointing.

aiyah-yah-yah-yah!~ Nice pics lah! *2 thumbs up* Very vibrant colours!
Yea, I agree that sometimes to capture that nice picture, there will be things u'll need to sacrifice. And I salute u for doing juz that and giving us (and urself) a glimpse of how beautiful SG looks like in the early morning.
p/s: im juz being picky here...
But hor, in some of the pics, the land opposite and its reflection creates a weird black patch in the middle of the pic. ^^; But the sky is breath-taking nevertheless ^^b -
Neo Tiew from Lim Chu Kang Rd
That's far. Are you delivering tofu in the morning? -
no.. u r not picky.. i agree with you..its quite an eyesore..taking those away would make it near perfect.. basically those "black patches" are trees.. and i believe they are there to conceal the factories behind them.. its the kranji/ sungei kadut industrial estate behind that and it would have broken the landscape in the day time..Originally posted by Haoz30:p/s: im juz being picky here...

i believe the day time view of this place will also be spectacular.. if you have a blue sky.. then you can see the green trees and its mirrored reflection over the reservoir.. would have also made a breathtaking shot
but I am not sure if there could have been anything cos the i can't really avoid them from the angle where I am shooting at and it.

nope.. i live in the west side.. so for me.. it really isn that far.. of course it made more convenient cos i drive..Originally posted by HyuugaNeji:Neo Tiew from Lim Chu Kang Rd

but nope i dun deliver tofu..
i just take pictures.. -

u mean PS what? PS away the "blk patches" or PS the skyline?

beautiful place.
kranji is one of the last secluded places in SG.
so quiet and peaceful.
I used to evening stroll there when i need time alone to think.
but be careful of crocs and big monitor lizards -

nice hor?
go there with your boyfriend, gor gor or daddy.
that place is haunted -
Those who cycled should be able to reach there. And beware of wild dogs too

Hmm, I've seen many photos of sunrises and sunsets so I want to give my contribution and critique.
Well, basically many of these photos lack a definite subject, which is important because when a viewer sees a photo, there must be certain things to draw the eye to in order to make the photo look outstanding. Furthermore, the subject must be interesting and captivating as well.
When I look at the pictures, I see mostly nice sky and water, but besides that there is really nothing to see.
To me, a photo must have an intention and/or an originality of concept. This means your photos must convey a meaning and tell a story, but if you do not want that, the photo must be aesthetically pleasing to the point that it is original and has not been done before.
These photos are great in their own right, but if you want to improve your shots, you have to keep these tips in mind.
I know you may not be a professional with big equipment, but these little tips will help you take much better pictures in the future!

I guess we have our own opinions but i have submitted photos to stock so its funny when one accepts a photo while the other rejects the similar photo that i submitted. All looked for composition in a photo but mine was rejected for it and accepted by the other without compositional issues.
Maybe point blue can show us some photos of the the same location shot by himeself sometime. -
YOu have good cam, you'll need to improve you skill of taking pic. Btw, the cloud is not nice wor
