2. Punggol Lake – the great lake view of less noisy and crowded beaches as options.
Photography tip: To capture the 50m wide lake in its full glory, bring a wide-angle lens. We used a Canon 16-35mm lens here and it was versatile enough to shoot both close-up and wide-angle shots.
Address: Upper Seletar North Link 2 (View on Google maps). Look for ‘Samwoh Resources Pte Ltd’ and the lake right next to the main road.
3. Tuas South Avenue 1 – the spot of lustful greenery and with orange flowers blooming all around which is a perfect wonderland feeling.
Photography tip: Purchase a camera remote control from a camera shop before your shoot. The handy contraption will save you the trouble of running back and forth to check if the pictures turned out well.
Photography tip: Bring a camera lens with a low aperture to capture the depth of field in your shots.
Address: Tuas South Avenue 1 (View on Google maps)
4. National Gallery – the perfect spot with this great architecture as your main backdrops.
Photography tip: Mount your tripod at a low angle to capture the breathtaking architecture. We suggest trying the exterior walls near the entrance of the Courtyard Cafe.

5. Coney Island – with these huge pine tree forests here have an amazing view during the sunset as the light filtered through those leaves which creates a soft and warm effect for your shots.
Photography tips: Don’t geh kiang and scrimp on bike rentals. You’re going to have to lug a heavy camera and tripod around so hop on an OFO bike or rent one from Jomando.

6. Punggol Lalang fields – with this isolated place which are just a 10 minutes walk from the main road and you are exposed to the best spot you might see with the beautiful grass spread all along this area.
Photography tip: We found this gem of a spot by following the trail of confetti littered on the ground. Even though this colorful paper path was mighty helpful, be a considerate photographer, and clean up after yourself.

7. Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church – nestled in Bugis this place is very popular for the textured red bricks walls as details to your shots.
Photography tip: To get the best shot, we had to mount the camera and tripod opposite the church, three-car lanes away.

8. Upper Seletar Reservoir – the perfect backdrop of a Casuarina tree against the wide lake with few benches on the side which make the idea of a perfect shot for those who loves these lake sceneries.

Use the built-in grids in your camera to make sure the water body cuts across the picture perfectly, like in the first pic.
