Place de La Concorde

Disneyland Paris Part 1 of 3

If there is a place where I can just go there and feel that I am 5 years old once more, it must be Disneyland. I was not able to enjoy myself 100% there as I was down with high fever. I look at the photos and have a feeling of nostalgia.

I want to share a few of these photos with you. Disneyland Paris is located in Marne-la-Vallée, a new town in the eastern suburbs of Paris and about 30+ km from the centre of Paris. The park itself is cut into 2, meaning it has 2 theme parks. I think, if I am not wrong, one is called Disneyland and the other one is called Walt Disney Studio. The park that I enjoy the most, and is also the bigger of the two, is Disneyland itself.

It reminds me of the endless fairy tales movies I have watched before and the real Walt Disney caracters, from Fantasia. Enjoy!!!

The Saturday night coaching shots

All those who ask me to teach them photography, usually do so after seeing the night shots that I take.

So night shots are what they want to learn. Yesterday I went to the marina barrage to teach night photography. Of course, I had to do some photos myself.

Actually, I always emphasize, it is not really the price of the camera or how expensive the lens are that matters the most. For yesterday shoot, we used a Canon 500D, with a cheap kit lens on a $45 tripod, purchased from Mustafa.

Anyway enjoy the shots

Helix Bridge

There is a rather new side of Singapore, some call it a new look, some call it an improved look, I call it the money making machine side; The twisted metal walkway that leads to the Marina Bay Sands Casinos. I often read in the news how much revnue the casino is adding to the economy, and the sum just keeps going higher and higher. We are over 1bn dollars already.

Anyway, lets stay focus. It is a very nice spot for night photography. The helix bridge, as it is called is a "must try" spot for night photography lovers. From there, you are able to capture images of the entire city line, the millions of lights and colours that define the nighy skyline of Singapore

Chinese Garden

I had to use the GPS in my car to get there. The entrance to the carpark, is somehow, not very easy to locate. It was an overcast day, felt like it was going to rain. And it did, few drops here and there.

Please enjoy some of the photos and make sure you do visit there when you have the time. There is a very friendly uncle on site, who can talk non-stop about turtles. Make sure you pay him a visit.

Eventually, few drops of rain turned into a downpour. I had to end my photography and discovery journey. I have no clue how big this garden is, but it seemed to me that I probably covered only a very small section of the entire place. And guess what; Next to it, there is another garden. And it is called Japanese Garden.

I need to go there again.
