Simple Superior Room with double bed
My course ended at about 8:30pm and I decided to test out some night photography with our new Panasonic Lumix TZ2. So off I went to the nearest attraction, Clarke Quay. I heard the area was recently spiced up- themed restaurants, water features and alien-looking roof canopies!
Along the way, there were many colourful lanterns being displayed as part of the Lantern Festival. I quickly whipped out my Lumix to test out its capabilities; though unfortunately in the hands of an amateur photographer :)

When I reached Clarke Quay, I was really impressed with the overall concept. It looked very different from the last time I visited it 3-4 years back when I was still in Singapore.
The alien-looking roof canopy- think War of the Worlds :p
I was quite amused when I discovered this restaurant with a hospital theme. The outdoor dining chairs were designed to look like wheelchairs. Not sure if they can really be wheeled around.

Overall, I'm quite happy with our Lumix TZ2. It's a compact camera but it gives me enough control to adjust the exposure and settings to take night shots to my liking. My next project will be to try out daytime photography and portraits!

yup, the restaurant with wheelchairs is on a hospital theme. supposed to look like an operating theatre at some parts.
people have commented that it won't be there for very long, since the predominantly chinese population is too superstituous to want to sit in wheelchairs and eat with scapel looking knives!
hey, for a so-called amateur, i thought the photos turned up very nicely. not easy to take night portraits and i never managed to take anything like that! hmm maybe i should save up to invest in a Lumix! ;)
the hospital-themed restaurant is kinda weird, and also not very politically correct..
