Re: Milky way?

lqx and Sivakis glad that you like the photos! Thanks for the encouragement! :D I'm loving this series and it's interesting isn't it, to read the article on MW shooting in LA. A higher signal capture is better even if the whole thing turns out initially overexposed. Think I'm going to revisit some o...

Yes it is definitely worth checking out. Not just Tanjong Beach, Palawan Beach may be good as well. I haven't got the chanc...

Re: Milky way?

How long is the beach open? if the Milky Way is visible there it might be a good alternative to the long drive up north... and safer than the creepy place in Kranji. I stayed there till max 10:30pm so I am not sure whether there are any restrictions for staying till early morning hours or overnight...

Re: Milky way?

A few shots to share from a short shoot yesterday. Same place again at Tanjong Beach, Sentosa. Sky conditions not as good as Friday, very windy and more ships out at the nearby sea. But it was still reasonable enough for single exposure shots after the high clouds/haze passed by. All photos shot usi...

Re: Milky way?

Thanks Clifford & Gary for your kind comments :D Gary -> the only good thing about yesterday was that the sky was sooooooo clear that I can just take a single exposure and see the milky way appearing on the LCD screen of my dslr...need not do subs for stacking. This saves me some time :mryellow:
