Here are some photos I took from my hotel room during my recent trip to Singapore... please feel free to comments... thanks

These are wonderful night shots. I do think the last one was damaged by camera movement.

Oooh, I love night shots! They're gorgeous!

#1 and #2 look a bit noisy though.. what ISO were you using?

#4 is an interesting technique!

Thanks for the compliment.

Hey Don, the last photo was not damaged by movement, I did that on purpose. My attempt to be artistic.

shuttertalk Wrote:#1 and #2 look a bit noisy though.. what ISO were you using?

I think tis ISO 400. Setting is F/8, 6 seconds. That's probably why it seems busy.

shuttertalk Wrote:#4 is an interesting technique!

Interesting good or interesting bad? I had to move the camera in circular motion and exposed for around 6 secs to get that effect.

Beautiful and colorful! Very nice!

I really like the first one, I've never seen it from that angle
So high up, very nice.

The last one reminds me of a Christmas tree

Nice shots but I am thinking that the ISO was set a little high or perhaps a little more de-noising in post to clear up the sky a bit might "help".

What camera?

Beautiful night shots! My favorite the #3

I like them. Agree that their is noise. Wish i could find a good vantage point like that to take night shots.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments... will definitely keep the tips in mind.

Peted: I used D70, Nikkor 18-70mm lens.

Teddy: FYI - I took that from room balcony at Swissotel Stamford in Singapore. You must request for a harbour view room - level 55 (and above). S$50 extra per night for the view is totally worth it.

Actually, I am totally hopeless when it comes to photoshopping. Any ideas on how to fix the noise problem using photoshop?

Thanks heaps.

Definitely worth it...

Hm... maybe Filter -> Noise -> Dust and Scratches...

You may have limited success but I think a plugin such as Noise Ninja will definintely do a better job.

Thanks. 55 floors, sheesh, I am a rock climber and thats high even for me!!

I use DCE tools and one quick play did this. It may not be what you wre after or you might like more noise reduction or whatever.

ahhh singapore! I want to go...

Tried to post this yesterday but upload failed, did a bit of a clean up and perspective correction.
