Halloween at Singapore Flyer

Yesterday was Halloween Night so after work I took a slow walk from our Singapore GfK office in One George Street to the Singapore Flyer to take some pictures. The distance from office to the Flyer is around 2km+ and along the way there are many prominent landmarks for photo enthusiasts to take pictures. You could capture the Central Business District View, the Singapore River, the Esplanade, the Merlion and many others.

I carried with me a Nikon D700 camera with a Nikon 16mmf2.8 and a Nikon 24-70f2.8 lenses. I love the fisheye because it has a 180 degree of coverage and as a wide-angle lens archiving great depth-of-view is simple. Simply stop down the lens aperture to around f5.6or f8 and the depth-of-field (zone of sharpness) seems to stretch infinitively! You can get everything from one or two feet away to few meters away all in focus. The characteristically curvature images produced by this lens also give your picture a surreal feel!

Here are some images taken at the Singapore Flyer with my D700 and the Nikon 16mm lens.
