The Singapore Super Trees

I'm currently editing the last of the images from my Singapore trip a few weeks ago. I thought I'd share one of them with you for now. These are the super trees in the Gardens by the bay. You can see its located behind the Marina Bay Sands Hotel framed in the background. This shot was taken handheld at really high ISO while were were stood underneath the structure waiting in line for the elevator that takes you to the walkway above.

They are not normally this varied in colour, this shot was taken during the twice nightly light show where the trees change colour along to some music. Its very nice.

This seems like a good entry as well for @juliank's daily photochallenge - today being travelphotography.

The colours in this are amazing. I'm amazed you didn't get this one on sticks.

Thanks! I wanted to but I was standing in a busy moving line and I didn't want to bother other people or give the staff a reason to take me out of the line ;)

Congratz, your post has been resteemed and, who knows, will maybe appear in the next edition of the #dailyspotlights (Click on my face if you want to know more about me...)

Amazing shot, i could instantly recognize Singapore. The colors are so beautiful and does not seem to be affected by that ISO that much. Not i can see any noise, so that makes me curious what camera and what the settings were. Other than that i can sit back and just enjoy this Avatar look like scene from that amazing city i once had a chance to visit.

Thanks mate, the camera and settings were:

  • Canon 5d mkii w/ 17 - 40mm L lens
  • 17mm, f/4.0 and 1/15sec @ ISO 2500

The ISO wasn't that high by today's standards, but on the 5dmkii that level of ISO still produces a lot of noise (which I removed mostly in lightroom).

Loving this picture! Both the colours and contrast are amazing. Really beautiful :)

Thanks :) Its an amazing place, I wish I was still there!

Those look absolutely unique - like out of a cheesy sci-fi movie! Amazing! :)

They are very cool! It did have a bot of a fantasy feel to it :)
