Hindu temple in Singapore

Whoa! This is really neat! Such color, such light and detail. Really well exposed!

Why thank you, Jayme! It's a neat place. Unfortunately, this picture (and most of my Singapore ones) are a bit of a cautionary tale. I waited an hour for twilight for this shot. Then, I took the memory cards to a store and had them copied to CD as I was out of cards. I verified that the files were on the CD in the store but didn't check the file sizes. They copied all my 3.5 Meg full size photos as 500 K low quality JPEGS. I didn't discover it until I was 6,000 miles away. I learned a valuable lesson!

A detail of the gopurum (entrance gateway) of the Sri Mariamman

temple in Singapore. It dates from 1843 and ss lit at night by fiber

optic lights (which, presumably, do not date from 1843).

Nice work Bill. Although, I think for the reasons you mentioned, the image didn't come out as strong in quality because of the size in which they were recorded. All that aside, I like the colour. At certain places, the faces of the statues are rather blown out.

 

By the way, "Hindi" is a language, "Hinduism" is the religion. I take it that was a typo given that "u" and "i" sit next to each other on the keyboard.

It shound sell as a postcard Bill. Real neat.

Great work on this image.Why did'nt I think of this.... shame on me.I have gone pass it so many time, it just never come to my mind.

Excellent work..! Very well done.

Agree with CHips. As a Singaporean, we overlooked this composition. Very well exposed for a difficult shot.
