Sun Set, Sun Rise, Sun Don't Run


Is the sunset and sunrise nicer in other places/countries?

No? It's the same sun that we are sharing.

Yes? Somehow the sun are warmer and more beautiful in my country.

Hmmm. I think the sunset/sun rise differs from wherever you are. I find the sun much more beautiful in some countries compare to what we have here. When was the last time you see a beautiful sunset/rise photo taken from Singapore?(not doctored by photoshop. Pure skill from the photographer and his camera).

It seems like the sun is so beautiful from locations like UK, Europe, America and even Bali. Have seen many such examples in Photography magazines. They would also have this "20 Best Locations for taking Sunset/rise Photos" feature. So jealous and amazing. Here? Labrador Park? East Coast? Sigh. Yawn. Boring.

What/where can we take here in Singapore that is interesting and will make people stand and look at your photos? It does not matter if you think your shot is good or not(it's good to be critical upon yourself), I find the interesting thing is people actually stop and look at your photos. The contents, colours, how you achieve the angel and what you trying to say in your photo that have people thinking and amaze are the important things. That I think is already winning. Like me, I am sure I have many photos that have people stop and think "what thrash". Still, I win. Cos you take the effort to see, think and conclude that it's thrash!

Hahahah! Such positive attitude!

U know where is a good place for sunset/sunrise? Pulau Tekong! It is truly breathtaking.

Used to sit at the back of my century-old barrack (where it is facing the sea and civilisation) during BMT to enjoy the sunset...sunrise is enjoyed in sit-up position...hahaha
