Punggol Promenade

Also known as Punggol Beach. According to my Facebook, i was here 18 Feb last year for photography with leongraphy as well.

Kinda surprised that it was renamed, renovated and,the previously 不生蛋 place that rarely people go to, is now a quite a popular location.

To head there you need to take Bus 84 from punggol bus interchange instead of the previous bus 82, i guess they rerouted the bus.

Was there with kyle and we’re so lucky that there’s Rainbow to greet us.

Punggol beach is well known for their rocky beach. There were 2 group of photographer doing their portraiture there, one of which was a pre-wedding shot.

Then of cause there’s other photographers like us who go there to capture the sunset.

Was looking at the photos i took last year, guess it’s safe to say that my photography skill have improved. But there’s a long way to go…

This would be one of my favourite hangout if i stay in that area.

However, Punggol beach is infested with mosquitoes/ sand-flies. At the end of the day, each of my legs has like 10 bites each.

Itch die me. The result of forgetting to bring insect repellent -_-

But the photos make it worth while

See see see. Both the sky and the land looks awesome there isn’t it?

 

Here’s a checklist of item to bring there:

1. Camera
   • Set white balance to daylight.
   • Drag the shutter as long as you can (smaller aperture, low iso or ND filter) for silky water
   • Capture the motion of the wave using 1/10s shutter.
2. Widest lens you have
   • Best if u’re using UWA. Else kit lens is good as well.
3. Tripod
   • Aids in long shutter
   • Might get wet if put it in water.
4. ND Filter (Optional)
   • Help to drag the shutter. Otherwise, use small aperture + low ISO and wait for the sky to darken.
5. Newspaper (Optional)
   • Place your barang barang, protect it from the sand
6. INSECT REPELLENT(!)
   • That place is infested with mosquitoes/sandflies
7. Don’t wear shoes as it would get wet

 

That’s all!

Hope this post will be index by Google and help a fellow photographer who go there shoot.

More pictures will be posted my my facebook soon.
