Singapore Streets (9 Feb '12)

Day 2 of my walkaround in Singapore. Now usually I have some errand to run and in between places I need to go I will observe the surroundings and shoot things I find interesting.

First up, Orchard Road to help my mom pick up her prescription meds. The streets are much emptier in the morning which is a nice change.

Next up is downtown Singapore for my monthly errands for my employer. I try to walk everywhere I can so as to not miss the moments of life passing by. It helps of course that it's not raining nonstop this time around.

Late afternoon I was back in Orchard Road meeting up with a few friends of mine who are into photography too. Handicapped baskers usually perform at the main intersection of Orchard Road.

After cornering one of them to get a tripod, we decided to let him give it a test drive at Boat Quay. A cool evening made for some decent shots. It also gave me a more time to give my X100 a night time street shooting shakedown and of course, more cliche nightscapes.

I'm still very much impressed with the color renditions of the X100.

Night portraits (of my buddies) sans flash are easily tackled by the X100 with it's f2 maximum aperture.

A bit disappointed with the random missed focus but the next shot usually makes me forget about it. Haha.

The last shot of the night was another cliche one of the Marina Bay Sands. A lighting show was on so at least there's something unique about it.
