Sky'n Tracks
by Daniel Cheong

Yet another tracks shot! Hope you are not fed up with those! I might have not explored all the possible angles yet!

Under the tracks of the Light Rapid Transit, Punggol, Singapore. Other views of those tracks in my Punggol Set.

All my photos nicely presented on black on this very cool site called DARCKR.

My most interesting pictures according to flickr.

Autumn
Paličník
by Jiri Hajek

Pohled na Paličník ze sousední skály je můj nejoblíbenější, jelikož zahrnuje nejen široký rozhled do kraje, ale také samotný Paličník a krásné jizerskohorské bučiny. Právě s ohledem na tyto listnáče je zde podzim skvělým obdobím pro fotografii, ale krásné je to tu celý rok.

I used telephoto lens here in order to compress the scene a little. Quite a long time was needed to smooth out the water and then also focus stacking, as I wanted both the small tree and waterfall in focus, which would be hard to achieve with the telephoto lens.

Výhled z Bílé Skály
by Jiri Hajek

Při inverzi do výšky cca 900m jsou z Bílé skály krásné výhledy na Černou Studnici a Ještěd. V tomto případě jsem se zaměřil na detail Černé Studnice chvíli po západu slunce. 2 minutová expozice pomohla zjemnit mraky a dát dojem mořských vln.

Lor Halus Wetlands Foot Bridge Punggol Promenade Singapore

Lor Halus Bridge spans the Punggol Serangoon reservoir, linking the Punggol Promenade to Lor Halus Wetlands. In my opinion, this is probably one of the more photogenic bridges in Singapore. I know it sounds a little pathetic! I initially planned for a sunset shoot at the opposite bank but heavy cloud cover foiled that plan. Feeling a little dejected, I decided to hang around for the blue hour. As usual, twilight did not disappoint. As darkness fell, stratus clouds started to reflect the city lights. They turned luminous orange and with the help of the long exposure, the camera managed to expose the shot with ease.

Even though these lit clouds results in more interesting skies, they are in fact the byproduct of light pollution. Light pollution is not only a waste of energy, it also causes disruptions in the ecosystem, such as disorientating migrating birds. Whats more disturbing is, light pollution also affect the animal and human health and psychology. Studies have shown that over-illumination causes increased headache incidence, worker fatigue, medically defined stress, decrease in sexual function and increase in anxiety in humans. Mr Edison would never have realized his invention could have the potential to cause so much damage!!

1 exp shot and edited in Photoshop. Constructive criticisms and comments are appreciated!
