Yeah,Tibet here i come !!

shooting car, chasing sun

On new year's eve, Alan and I set off at around 5.30am, reaching Seletar dam just in time to do some setting up and catch the sunrise. At first, we wanted to stop put at Upper Seletar Reservoir. However upon reaching there, we realized that the reservoir was facing west (not an ideal spot for shooting his car against the sunrise). Due to the sudden change in plan and our rush for time, we settled for Seletar dam instead.

The sun rose 20mins before the forecasted timing at 7.07am.





After the sky transformed into a pale and hazy shade of grey, we knew that the end of our mini-photoshoot was here. Alot of shots were either full or partially underexposed /overexposed. It was harder to shoot in low lighting conditions than i thought. To make things worse, the short-lived sun rise was a ticking 'time bomb' on its own and the fast but gradual change in light also got into my nerves. With my limited knowledge in photography and the time constraint (hard to experiment with the shuttle speeds/apertures) imposed by the earth's rotation, it made me appreciate the essence of photography even more.
