You’re A Great Way To Fly


Borrowing from Singapore Airline’s marketing icon and slogan… 🙂

This was the exact same setup I used (tripod and all) when I took “Trolley Service” at the Changi International Airport, with the exception that instead of the trolley man, we have a Singapore Girl (air stewardess) rushing off to board her flight. I like the way the lighting fell on the stewardess… A pity that lighting conditions were too dim for me to try a faster shutter speed (I was already using up to ISO 800 on my 300D — ISO 1600 would have produced even worse digital noise) to freeze her action.

Bon Voyage


This silhouette study was taken at the Changi International Airport’s viewing gallery in Terminal 1 as part of the series of pictures that I took two weekends ago during my visit there. I was attracted by the strong silhouettes of the visitors contrasting with the bright sunshine outside on the tarmac, as well as the patterns of light and shadow created by the floor tiles.

Surfing Knights Of The Round Table

More pictures from the series I took at the Changi Airport…

This is actually a Internet cafe/surfing station at McDonald’s in Terminal 2. The escalator landing from the floor above provided a good vantage point for me to capture the actions of net surfers (mostly children on that lazy Sunday morning!). I like the arrangement of the people around the high-tech looking table and setting. Taken with a slow shutter speed with the camera mounted on a tripod.
