From an almost point & shoot camera, this is a 10:00PMish nocturnal view of the esplanade on the left, down to Marina City Park on the right, showing the durian shaped theater, The Esplanade, aptly called by locals as 'The Durian', along Marina Bay near the mouth of the Singapore River. My POV is on the viewing deck near the famous Merlion, another landmark in Singapore, which I will post next time :)

There's some compression of pixels on the dark sky upon resizing. If you know how to prevent this. Please, I need an input for future posts! Thanks! :)

Hello Fred.
Really a superb posting here. You manages the lights perfect with your plug and play! camera. No this is a very good camera.
Love Singapore. Been there 5 months for working (1996) Looking forward to see your Merlion.
I was in the mouth, (the very huge one at Sentosa) when it was not 100% finnished.
Having a little copy of it made from jade.
Will post that ones too.
Greetings from Jan

Hi Freddie,

une trčs belle photo nocturne

Love this shot!
Have been trying very hard to at least grasp the technique in coming up with a similar output.

This will definitely be an addition to my inspiring list of photos.

Congrats!
