A Day of Urban Exploration

Part of an abandoned military outpost that was part of a British defence line that had been established well before WWII along the southern ridges of Singapore

It's been a long time since my last urban exploration except the recent short one at Fort Berlayar. Over the last weekend, I had the opportunity to explore 2 decommissioned military bases namely Point 270 @ Kent Ridge Park and Fort Serapong in Sentosa. With kind guidance, courtesy of a kind friend whom I shall not mention his name, for without him I wouldn't be able to visit or find these places.

Make the jump to see more photos and videos I made during the exploration.

Mode of Transportation

It came as a rare sight where all types of transportation came to a halt altogether at a red light traffic junction. There are public bus, delivery truck, private luxury car, taxi and motorcycle. Guess I was lucky to be at the right place at the right time.

Minimalism - Mystic Sail

Mystic Sail

A sail boat sailed by in the early weekend morning near Coney Island. This minimalistic photo was captured on Apple iPhone 6+ using Slow Shutter Cam app and post-processed in Snapseed 2.0 for B&W conversion.

I have been using this app for 2 weeks now and I really find it an useful and easy to use app. Previously I wrote on my Night Photography blogsite on using this app for some colorful night photography. What's amazing about this app is that it's not restricted just for low light condition and night photography. It can be used on day time photography. For best results, preferably take photos under overcast weather, or in this photo shown above, on a hazy/foggy day.

I believe I will continue to use this app, more often so for more creative photography.
