Changi beach, Singapore.
Trying the automated HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature in Pentax K-X. Trying to merge HDR in Photoshop… Finally decided to photoshop the HDR image generated by the DSLR. It’s the photographer’s problem, I know!
Taken in TV mode at slow shutter speed with a newly bought Hoya HMC ND 8 filter to create the silky effect of the sea. (ND = Neutral Density)
In blue mood… wondering what the name of the mountain is from afar.
Sunset photos from Changi Point boardwalk during the golden hour, the last hour of sunlight in the day. It’s magical.
Sunbeam across the sea.
The golden sun.
The glowing sun disappearing behind the clouds.
Entrance/Exit of Changi Point Coastal Walk.
Location: Changi Point, Singapore.
You can access the boardwalk from Changi Village, Changi Sailing Club, Changi Beach, Changi Beach Park. It’s walking distance to the famous Changi Village hawker centre.
How to go Changi Point Coastal Walk?
By public bus – board feeder bus no. 29 and alight at the bus stop near Changi Sailing Club along Netheravon Road.
If you are driving, you can park your transport at the big open space car park near Changi Village hawker centre. Then take an easy walk to Changi Point Coastal Walk.

The sunset shots are beautiful!!! Reminds me of Cenang Beach in Langkawi.
Have you try waterfall shots??? I love them especially during the early hours.
Cheers!

@mylo: Is Langkawi nice? I always go Penang but miss this spot cos ppl around me say it’s so-so only.
@David: I only covered a part of it. If you walk further down, you could see a long boardwalk on stilts, like “kelong” n many photographers can really take very nice pics there during sunset. So I think I should go again, to brush up my skills!
For HDR effects, I find Photomatrix from hdrsoft.com pretty solid. I use it, but recently been kind of lazy about my photography 😛 Thanks for sharing on the Pentax K-X.
@Darkspore: hey thanks for the recommendation. Will try that! 😀
lovely sunset shots…. did u play with the white balance when u were taking the 3 shots or the colour naturally changed as the sun was setting… i always say i can never get tired of enjoying sunsets esp over water.
great shots! i actually saw this from the road and was really enticed to take a walk but due to my limited time there… i didnt. i might be there in september.
@lechua: hi, it’s auto white balance for the 3 shots, with same F-number and shutter speed. I changed the Exposure time… sunset is always beautiful!
@dong ho: gee thanks… I’m surprised that u know of this place too, as it’s not a tourist attraction (I guess!). It’s quite a long walk. Nice place for photography!
The sunset shots, especially the third one, are great!
no one’s swimming?
Gorgeous sunset shots there.
@london caller, J2Kfm: thanks
@Jasper: Yes there are people swimming at the other end.
Thanks for sharing the photos. Singapore is added in Trivago – one from the bigest travel sites. Feel free to add there photos and comments about your travels.
I was just there today. Your post and pictures helped me to decide, and the trip was well worth it. Very serene, peaceful, and beautiful. A couple of pointers for upcoming visitors. If you are taking bus 29 from Tampines bus interchange (located next to Tampines MRT), a good bus stop is the “govt chalets” stop on Netheravon Rd. This is the 3rd stop once bus 29 gets on Netheravon Rd. You will need to walk a little to the left (going West, away from Changi village). There is a sign that points you to the entrance of the boardwalk 140m away. Go down the pathway and it takes you direct to the entrance of the boardwalk as pictured in this post. The famous Changi village hawker centre is closed for renovations and is expected to open in Jan 2013. However, there are lots of coffee shops around, and prices are reasonable.
Hi Karen, Thanks for your tips! 🙂 Happy New Year.
