Ops... I only went Punggol Beach twice, 1 on the left, the other tiem on the right, not familiar there.

haha, i've been there 5 times, from undevelop until make nice nice..

2x cycle there, 3 times were solely for photography purposes..

2 more from yesterday:

i feel that it's quite a b!tch to take photos there..

the sand very soft, keep collapsing, i walk until i damn dulan.. then random people(fellow photographers are ok) kept getting into my frame.. got one family setup picnic shop right in front of me.. i was like da fuq?

think i do cityscapes better..

hi there, for the last 3 photos, i used a mixed of Lee Big Stopper with Hitech 0.6/0.9 GND.

So far I went there, not much luck. For the sunset, that time the sun is on the extreme left, got trees there, not open, so composition of shots not nice.

I'm using Hitech 4 stops ND filter and ND110.
Didn't use GND though, after HDR and PP found that it rendered the gnd effect.

Caught this cute pose of Stork Billed Kingfisher.

think i wanna get a lower stop ND as well.

10 stops a bit too much for the period when sun is setting. 4 or 6 stops is good?

yeah agreed that the trees at left side kinda spoil composition, which is why i try compose the photos to avoid the trees as far as possible.

Depends on how long you want your exposure?
For me I use 30s exposure quite often, so 10 stops ND I use more frequently.
4 stops can do the job but I like longer exposure (feel that the cloud effect is nicer), so sometime for 30s shutter speed & 4 stops, I got to use F22 which is not the optimal aperture for most lenses (might be all lenses).
I think 6 stops is good but dun think there is one in the market? So have to stack 2 NDs.

Bro, there is 6-stop / 8-stop ND in market :- Hitech Pro 100mm Stop 6 & Stop 8@ sell at TK Foto.

i also do 30s exposure, ranging from f9.0 - f13.

but when reach actual sunset timing, even if i open up to f8.0, i need longer than 30s.

my ideal exposure period is ~10s at sunset timing.. hmmm...

That's strange, that time I'm at TK, the saleman told me only 4 stops and 10 stops.
I do know there are other brand with 8 and 9 stops but those are screw-drive not square filter.

Yeah at that timing, no need to use 10 stops liao.
When the sun is about to set I'll shorten the exposure to abt 10-15s too.
Last time I shot at 30s, I find it too risky if the settings is wrong, it will end up under-expose.

precisely, at that lil' window period, the light change so fast that you(or rather i) really need to shorten the shutter speed, in order to control the overall exposure well.

somemore i do a lot of HDR/DRI, i cannot afford to make too many mistake and it will mean retaking a bunch of photos all over again.
