[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a night shot of the banking district, taken from the park near Stamford Road. Some people playing football in the sports park of the Cricket Club.

The Cricket Club is the second olderst sports club in Singapore (1852!). The oldest is the Turf Club (horseracing).

Nearby historic buildings include Raffles Hotel, St. Andrew's Cathedral, City Hall (on the steps of which the Japanese surrendered to the British in 1945), the Supreme Court, Parliament House, the Victoria Theatre and Memorial Hall.

The next shot will focus more on the cricket club itself! The cricket club can be seen at the far-far end of the field.

Technical note:
Yes, it took quite some shots before the guy was not moving for 2 seconds! :-)

Hi Dennis,
Wonderful POV! Lighted tower blocks look beautiful relating to this black. Very much curiously composed with the lighted court.
Very good work.
Greetings

Hello Dennis, it's a very good night shot ! Great exposure, nice composition and good idea. The only thing is that the football guy is a bit OE but I can understand that...;-)

Hi Dennis
I love this shot, the shade of the grass with the flood lights is great, it contrasts very well with the black night sky.
Cheers Peter

Wat een ongelovelijk good shot Dennis - waard om te wachten dat hij even stilstond!
Fantastisch laag POV and zo'n achtergrond is toch de droom van iedere fotograaf?
Heerlijk dat je dit met ons kon delen.
Thanks
Els
