It was a warm and balmy night. I decided to head over to one of my favorite haunts, the Straits Quay mall, to partake of some nice cooling dessert. I brought my Canon EOS550D and my tripod along (if there’s anything I dislike most about taking pictures, it’s lugging this three-legged beast with me) However, you might as well not take any nighttime shots if you don’t want to mount your DSLR on a tripod. Long exposures incur the dreaded camera shake (the result is blurry pictures which would make you erase them straightaway) So may I present to you some shots of the Straits Quay Mall at night. All pictures are unretouched.
A last-minute self-portrait, taken with the Canon 430EX II Speedlite attached. I didn’t want to do it, seeing as I only had a grubby T-shirt on. But what the heck, it’s my blog, isn’t it?

So, you prefer to take the night scenes now? Afternoon heat is unbearable, huh? Lovely pix, Philip except the the last one (reluctant smile) heh..heh..
Believe it or not Sue, the heat was terrible even at night. There wasn’t a slightest hint of a breeze. Still I persevered…
