The Singapore Turf Club

A photo shoot

Alec, Singapore must be a very interesting city. Your pictures are amazing!

Thanks Jim, depends on the weather. It is usually cloudy unlike in the States.

Great use of perspective and depth, such a majestic building! Very well done Alec.

Love the effect the fisheye gives. Great composition!

I remember cloudy weather,rain and 23 degrees C,in July,many years ago.Good memory you think?

Great image.I hope that going that far with the memory again is not necessary. Strong architectural structure, great colors and composition.

Wow! Phossant you must come back again and do call me when you return to Singapore. We can share some war stories. Thanks guys for the kind words.

Very good use of wide angle , The building looks like a great ship

Sure I will.But let's begin with this.It's the signing of the treaty ,isn't it?

Hmmm..PhoS Sant you're right. The Japanese conceded defeat to the British and this wax figurines are housed at Sentosa Island. (You probably took this picture there)

 

Lately the area was renovated and it may be reinstated at a later date.

Contax 139,handheld,no flash.I've been to Sentosa via the cable car.It was a subtropical paradise with the highest man made waterfall if I remember well.I have bought a lens as well in Singapore,a Sonnar 3,5/100, real star performance.Thanks for the feedback.

Nice work with the fish eye... I don't see much, if any, color distortion on the edges... Looks like a sweet lens...

You win with your 'hands down',Alec.

very good shot...congrats.regards.my friend

Cool wide angle shot...love the colors.

Great work Alec, wonderful composition...

Alec, I prefer this one to your other current similar post, that one being more of a detail shot. Having never been there nor laid eyes on this structure before, I think this one gives me more of an idea of what to expect should I do so. None of your posts is faulty, some only being better for one purpose or another. We always get what we expect from you, high quality & unique perspectives. Best, LM.

Thanks PhosSant, Dennis, Sircar, Mehmet, Sarah, Mahen for the kind comments. Len, coming from a seasoned photographer like you is rare indeed. You're too kind. ^_^

Very beautiful perspective.

What turf???

 

Hi Alex, great shot with remarkable sense of direction, depth & symmetry.

Thanks Spencer, hi Hugh, this is the Singapore Horse Racing club and we call it the Singapore Turf Club over here. ^_^

I was just teasing,

say what lens were you using? a Canon 17-40 perhaps,

great work really is remarkable.

Hugh, this shot was taken with the Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye. A little lens distortion correction with CS3.
