Fun With Lights

The camera recorded a distorted image on this night time shot and so I played with them a bit. I think what happened is interesting and resulted in neat photos.

This is a more accurate depiction of what I saw but isn’t as interesting as the distortions – to me.

Close up of the distorted image capture. It is interesting all the detail it puts in. They look almost like cells through a microscope.

The bright orange light is burning off natural gas (at I assume a refinery), I believe, in Singapore. The fire is probably over 30 km from my vantage point, in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

This photo is starting to show the camera having issues with recording the scene. Taking that to an extreme resulted in the interesting photos.

The burning natural gas shows up as the bright orange circle at the top of the distorted image.

Marina Bay Sands: “Ocean Liner” Sky Park

The Marina Bay Sands opened in Singapore in 2010. The building is certainly an eye-caching one. It has what looks like an ocean liner spanning 3, 55 story high rise building that each have a luxury hotel. The casino was one of 2 opened in Singapore that quickly surpassed Las Vegas to become the second highest grossing gambling area (Macao is first).

Adjacent to the Marina Bay Sands are: a science museum (in the partial sphere in the photo), an eye ferris wheel (like the London Eye) and a huge new botanical complex – the Gardens by the Bay.
