Night Life, a photo from Ang Mo Kio, North East

Photographer's Note

This is Clarke Quay at night. Featuring five blocks of restored warehouses, the area offers a quirky alternative to mainstream attractions, with second-hand and antique shops, Sunday flea markets and restaurants with an amazing array of F&B options. In the evenings, dance clubs and pubs come alive with music from the 1960s to the present.
Named after Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore's second governor, Clarke Quay had been the commercial centre, where an unending stream of lighters would transport their goods upriver to the warehouses.
Clarke Quay is Singapore's only riverside festival village combining dining, shopping and entertainment. On the 23,000 square-metre site are five blocks of building housing and shophouses, restored to their original 19th century style. This area has a spread of specialty restaurants, themed pubs and wine bars. Across the river lies a range of exciting dining experience at Riverside Point.

Hello Ren,
Beautiful neon colors and glow in this evening scene. I remember this place from a few years ago, and indeed it's a fun place to stroll and have dinner. Seeing your other photos, I see that you have a new camera and I must say I'm impressed. Ingat 'Bay. Danilo

Hi Renier,
Very active scene with fireworks style lights, lots of details and lights reflecting from the water. I wonder if even shorter exposure time would have worked as there overexposure near lights. And the foreground boats have motion blur.

Hi Renier. Great night photo. All those restaurants and drinking establishments, but you must have had a steady hand and clear eyes when you took this shot ;-). You have managed to catch an image full of vibrant colours. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Night shots attract me too much and I like the perfect metering as here some places are over and rest out but as a whole it is a good shot,
TFS.

Hello Renier,

I like the lively atmosphere on this picture. The bright colors, the reflections on the water and the boats create a very nice nocturnal scene. This place must be a lot of fun on weekends.

Hello Renier
Still waiting for the first 400d Post! Remember this place well, bustling with life. The saturated colours makes the place look like in fire, especially on the water. Well done
