The Pinnacle@Duxton

One of Singapore's atrociously-named housing developments (anything with an "@" qualifies, in my book), which is actually quite cool from certain angles.

iPhone HDR + Cross Process

16 Aug 2010

Here's a quick shot I took as I was leaving the house this afternoon. Used Camera+ for the digital zoom, but none of the built-in filters were adequate for what I wanted, so I exported it to the Camera Roll and put it through Nick Campbell's Cross Process (Basic), and then applied a circular blur with Takayuki Fukatsu's TiltShift Generator (plus some contrast/brightness/saturation adjustments).

Orchard Road Flooding

A few days ago, a heavy storm downtown triggered a freak flash flood that destroyed a few basement level stores at Liat Towers and Lucky Plaza here in Singapore. Pictured is the aftermath at the former location, where several shops were completely submerged for several hours: Starbucks, Wendy's, Massimo Dutti, and Hermes.

A scene from early 20th century Singapore: Chinese coolies eating at a streetside stall, informally perched on benches. By the road outside the Singapore Art Museum.

Church photos

This posting of more church photos after the last one is completely coincidental.

Circle Line photo walk

Singapore's MRT system (a mostly subterranean train network) recently expanded with the opening of its Circle Line. Half of the new stations won't be opening until next year, but today a friend and I decided to have a look at the strange outlying neighborhoods now within reach and take a few photos. These are the ones from my iPhone.

The giant rabbit balloon is named Walter, and is a part of a new exhibit at the Singapore Art Museum.
