Theatres By The Bay

This was captured from across the bay and it was originally a bit hazy. In post, the contrast was tweaked and saturation was increased a little to get this final image.

Reflection In Covid Times

I had tried out the HDR mode in the Lumix one-inch sensor bridge camera used here. It’s a jpeg only mode and involved capturing 4 images in quick succession and merging them together for improved dynamic range and less noise. At ISO 3200, the noise produced in this capture was surprisingly at just 2.

The sky was originally just a distracting patch of white. This was replaced with colour in post.
