Smile The Famous Merlion Park in Singapore
Just want to share this photo taken at Merlion Park. One of the famous tourist attraction in Singapore so for those who've been to Singapore, this place might look familiar to you.

It's been a rainy week but luckily the sun showed up this morning. It's a pain getting up at 6am in the morning especially on a Saturday morning but as what they use to say...Golden hours is the best time to take photos. So I thought I'd give it a try.

This is a 5 exposure shot (-4.. -2.. 0.. 2.. 4) merged to HDR using Photomatix. Further adjustments made in Photoshop CS2 to enhance contrast and brightness a bit.

This was taken with sigma 10-20mm lens.



Thanks for viewing!

Cheers all!

Very nice. The top of the fountain seems a bit dark compared to the rest, but thats the only thing I see that appears a bit out of place in this shot.
