I really like the lines and curves formed by the traffic, the star shaped on the lamps are wonderfull.

The colors on the windows of the building on the right are just great.

fantastic sharpness.

A beautiful photo I was particularly drawn to the dynamic sense of motion formed by the vehicle head lights combined with the stillness of the cars that created them.

Wonderful distribution of colour

Truly excellent night shot depicting stunning displays of light curves and lines. The star shapes are particularly appealing and perfect exposure has captured this amazing scene to produce maximum visual effect. Very well seen and executed. Regards, Vicky

Hi Dan,
Superb night scene, very sharp due to the closed aperture and dynamic due to the capture of the moving traffic with the long exposure, great rendering !
Have a nice sunday,
Jean-Yves

yannick (1471) 2005-07-24 6:15

It is a very nice night shot. I like the trajectories, and the fact that the light is very clear and uniform. You probably used a star filter?
Well done,
Yannick

bgotauco (72) 2005-07-24 10:28

Wow. Great sharpness for such a long exposure shot. I especially like the effect created by the lights - the streetlights, headlights etc. You can even see the red stoplights! Thanks for sharing!

donluicu (24741) 2005-07-24 10:33

maphoto (8082) 2005-07-24 10:34

very well done, no blown out exposure. May i ask where you take this shot from? Which carpark? Funan?

this is definitely post card quality that you can send home to Canada.

hi Dan,
very well composed.
your pov has really been perfect for such a shot, and I like how there is really no empty dark space in the photo.
good work!

yekjohn (1890) 2005-07-25 6:00

Hi Dan, great exposure control here with excellent composition. So this is there the crane is in my attempted shot of the fireworks. Cheers, John.

umbrellaphotos (1901) 2005-07-25 19:52

Such clarity. Very nicely done. Great composition and great metering.

john_c (24666) 2005-07-25 22:09

Hi Dan,
You really scored with this one. The colours and lines are stupendous. The shot palpitates with dynamic action, the night life and scene sizzling and seething. You have left me no alternative but to vote this as a favourite. Great shot!
John

greg

chiquito (56) 2005-07-26 5:18

That's awesome!
Beautiful long expo. shot.
It's a good choice to put frame only to the top and the bottom
'cos that way I can think about the rest of the streets !
cheers
ToM
ps: Dan, have you used any filter ??

AmiBe (6042) 2005-07-26 8:24

Hi Dan,

I like the cars lights, too !
Really well done.

sayzey (2358) 2005-07-27 17:19

Wow superb photo! The lights from the cars really add to this brilliant night shot! Well done!

banyanman (7797) 2005-07-29 11:32

Very good exposure and nice composition Dan. Pity there was nobody using the reverse bungy in the 30 seconds you had the shutter open - that would really have got people guessing what it was! Cheers . . . David

djnik2004 (1698) 2005-07-29 11:41

I think this is one of your best Dan, a great viewpoint and awesome exposure, the composition is stunning, this is made by the traffic trails leading the viewer around the image and up to the river. Simple stunning - be very proud of this!

AididKew (160) 2005-07-30 11:23

Hi Dan, perfect shot. Look at the light trail, a few dot of stars and its sharpness. Wonderful. The building at the far background also captured clearly. Great job Dan.

Rinie_Hoff (9340) 2005-08-01 14:32

Hey Dan, I think I remember Clarke Quay, was it already there in 1982, you think?
I can imagine that this is a very
Very nice and clean crisp nightshot.

nerve (10231) 2005-08-08 4:23

Oh, this is beautiful..Its a great 30 seconds..Composition is spot on as well..
Very nice one.
Cheers.

nicole80 (2163) 2005-08-23 16:47

Hi Dan !
It's a nice POV, very sharp.
I like the trails left by the cars. Il ike the stars too.
Congratulations !

Nicole

jbweasle (9393) 2005-10-10 3:33

Hello Dan. This is a colourful and superbly sharp night shot. The light trails of the cars seem to frame the stationary objects and lead the eye around the frame.

neokreo (276) 2005-12-21 2:47

WoW!!! Great crystal clear shot! The lightings and the moving lights are superb!! Good job, man!

anew (582) 2006-02-26 17:55

This is a great night shot of Clark Quay. I love the way you showed the moving traffic.

lotis (132) 2006-03-07 18:22

Great photo. I've been trying for so long to have a good photo with that effect, and after seeing this and how it looks, I just feel like running upstairs, get my camera and hit the road to find a place like this...But my brother took my cam with him in Europe, damn him :@...The lights are..gorgeous? yah it's about right.
Well done
Cheers
Louis

kmarscher (2887) 2006-04-02 21:39

Wow--all this in 30 sec! My next goal. The curves, colors, and night lighting make it an exciting eye candy photo.

A high standard.

Ramy (773) 2006-04-04 9:38

Hi Dan,
Very interesting shot you have here. Great pov. Seems very lively place. If I went to Singapore I will make sure I will visit this place.
Regards, Ramy.

peco85 (921) 2006-05-20 7:44

And again you show the good quality to inhabit in making good photos! Keep up!

Lovely colors and beautiful scenery. Perfect exposure effect!

ronners (10) 2006-05-29 15:45

This is definitely an appealing shot, but what lets it down for me is that there is no clear subject. You do have a prominent building to the right, but you aren't really making the best use of it. I can definitely understand that the light trails are photographically interesting, but they'll never make the shot on their own. If possible I'd look for a viewpoint further left and make that well lit building my subject whilst still capturing the light trails in the foreground. One test is to imagine the shot without the light trails - is it still interesting?

MLINES (12516) 2006-06-14 20:07

Hi Dan, Good perspective of this good place to go in the evening. Yur time-lapse is very effective here. Colurs and note are also good. Murray.

Jason_teale (717) 2006-06-21 17:53

Dan, I think that you caught this shot at the perfect time. I know once you figure out how to capture a long exposure that many shots can become routine. I THink what you ahve shown here is that a little more time spent finding a good location and waiting for the traffic to be right makes all of the difference. Great work!

Kititit (813) 2006-06-22 5:53

Hello Dan,
Thanks for youre comments!
Like the moving effect on this photo and can u capture it? Just amazing.
Thanks very much for sharing,
Rita

picardo (2459) 2006-06-23 11:02

Excelent POV of this beautiful place. The lights of all the shot are just perect... neither overexposed nor underexposed. Great work!

Hi Dan,

Great photo, I haven't had the pleasure of seeing this one before. Well balanced and the exposure is excellent.

Take care,

Don

eyesthetix (641) 2007-10-11 13:10

Hey Dan !
this is really beautiful.. great long exposure. You did very well with the exposure/metering - no disturbing OE anywhere.
Best regards, Daniel

Wandering_Dan (3449) 2007-10-11 13:41

Very good shot. I'm impressed that you found the exposure that would show the movement of car lights without overewxposing the stationery lights. Well, not too much, anyway.
