Ship in the Sky
(1/500, F8, ISO100, 19mm)
This weekend was spent in Singapore, which is a 5-hour busride from KL.
The main reason to go was a gig from one of my favorite bands Mogwai in historic Fort Canning Park and they totally blew me away (again).
During the day we were fortunate to spent some time in the Marina Bay and its neighbouring Gardens by the Bay.
The sheer size and beauty of the architecture and gardens there were very inspiring.
This is part of the lily-shaped ArtScience museum and the colossal Marina Bay Sands.

outstanding!
Thank you, Alois! Sometimes my archives surprise me as well 😉
Greetings, Ron.
Awesome shot. Love the POV and framing – very dramatic.
Thanks, always looking for the drama in my architecture shot, but with the size of this one it was impossible not too 😉
Cheers, Ron.
The angle of this is fantastic, I like the point of view and the monotone.
Thank you very much, Erin! Havent seen you around the blogosphere, so hope all is well!
Greetings, Ron.
no worries. yes, I have been moving country!! back soon…
Thanks for visiting my blog. Superb post here

Thank you, Sriram! It is an amazing place to wander and look around; glad i was able to bring some of it across in this photo!

This is superb
Thanks very much, Scott! Hope all is great and have fun shooting 😉
Greetings, Ron.
I would have gone to Mogwai concert as well. That’s an intriguing photo. Superb angle and perspective, Ron!
Hi Paula, so you´re a Mogwai-fan too?
Thanks very much for your compliment!
Have a great day, Ron.
You too Ron, have a great rest of the week 🙂
Beautiful b&w (with a slight split tone?). This is exactly how I’ve wanted my black and whites to look. I’m still working on it!
Thanks very much, Emilio! And you are right about the slight split tone; i used a little of Selenium toning in Nik software, cuz I think that works well with shiny reflections in B&W.
Your B&W photos look really great to me 😉
Have a great week, Ron.
Excellent picture!
Danke sehr, Sabine!
Nice to meet you here, greetings, Ron.

Great perspective…. an amazing shot!
Thanks you so much, Cornelia, very kind of you to say!
Hope all is well, greetings, Ron.

It was totally worth it and I must say Singapore didnt dissappoint as well!
Thanks and greeting, Ron.
Brilliant Blog,nice to find You ,it was a pleasure to be here,Regards from Poland,EM
Thanks very much, EM, great to have found yours too, glad you enjoyed it here
Warm greetings from Kual Lumpur, Ron.
The photo is great, I like the perspective & angle. Also, must have been great to see the Mogwai show…
Hi Randall, thanks, it was great to see the Marina Bay for real, very impressive; and you´re a mogwai fan as well?
Amazing show in a very special place 😉
Cheers, Ron.
I hope to see it one day. Yes, like a few Scottish bands, Mogwai, Snow Patrol being a couple favorites. Nothing like a live show…and in a great venue, perfect. Cheers!
comment te dire ça….
c’est l’image que j’aurais aimé faire!!! c’est magnifique à tous les points de vue!!!
Merci, Candided, such an amazing building to photograph, would like to be there once with sunses to try as well!
Bien fin de semaine, Ron
I’m in awe!!!
Haha, thats so flattering of you, i was the same seeing the magnitude of this building, thanks!
All the best to you, Amy, greetings, Ron.
Such an awesome photo! I love the perspective, the clarity, the B&W.
Thank you, Karen, so great to read your comment, much appreciated, hope you have a great weekend!
Ride on, Ron
I hope to be riding soon, Ron, for sure! (and by the way … the name is Laurie or LB) 🙂
Oh cool, enjoy and sorry, thought i read Karen on your about-page somewhere, but thats pretty stupid with LB 😉
Nice to meet you then, Laurie and safe travels
Ron
I like this one a lot – great composition and tones!
Thank you very much, Malin! Coming from a B&W expert that´s very flattering, hope you have a great weekend!
greetings, Ron.
It looks rather like the Guggenheim at Bilbao – apart from that amazing hotel nearby…. great shot, of course.
Hola Margaret, definitely does look like Guggenheim, or any other Gehry-building with its reflecting metal plates, perfect for B&W photos during the day, i think.
Thanks and have a good weekend, Ron.
Fantastic perspective and such beautiful tones!
Gracias, Lisa! Like I said to others, photographing upwards is hard to avoid, although there is a sky park up there and even an infinity pool, but then it would be hard to capture the building 😉
I want to leave that park for a next visit during sunset, must be incredible up there.
Have a great weekend, Ron
I like the sun, casting it’s rays, creating this chance.
Chances have to be taken 😉
but den koperen ploert shares the light we photographers need so badddd for zuur…
Wow….gorgeous Ron
Thanks a lot, Mark! Very interesting place to shoot.
Have a great weekend, Ron.
Crazy but I like it! 🙂
Definitely unbelievably crazy building, so colossal, but still i liked it in combination with the Gardens and the bay.
Have a good weekend, Ron.
Impressive building, and very nice capture.
greetz
Totally agree on the first part and thanks for the second part!
Have a great weekend, Ron.
Great architectural abstract!
Gracias, Robert!
I like my architecture (and mountains) in B&W, but also the reflections of shiny buildings look cool, i think 😉
Have a great weekend, Ron.
Excellently captured and I love the dark, dramatic treatment.
Thanks a lot, Mike! When its the middle of the day and bright light i tend to look for contrast and B&W shots as the light is just too harsh and boring to make good coloured once in my opinion.
Have a good weekend, Ron.
Marina Bay!!! I love that hotel… Great architecture!
Nice angle!
Thanks, its so big in reality, wasnt prepared for that and the only angle possible was looking up 😉
Greetz, Ron.
😀
An unusual perspective of a well photographed land mark. Very interesting shot.
Thank you, Dragon, it was interesting as I was as much inspired by the ArtScience museum reflections as the Marina Bay Sands building and was very aware of the trap of a billion photos that were taking of it 😉
Cheers, Ron.
Beautiful image. I had been to Marina bay a few years back and took quite a lot of shots.
But your image tell me that there still some great angles to shoot at this beautiful structure.
Hello Sreejith,
I was amazed by the building but also the surrounding lay out of the Gardens and bay were very impressive!
I never take too much but this angle and the reflections of the ArtScience museum always make a good object in brigth sunlight i thought.
Thanks for the compliment, greetings, Ron.
Stunning composition!
Thank you very much, Carlos! Hope you have a great weekend, Ron.
love the dramatic angle, great!
Thank you, Shabnam, it was hard not to look up to it 😉
Have a great weekend, Ron.
