... well... i would suggest this time around.... for those enthusiast photographer ... I'd suggest ... dished out Orchard Road ... get away from it ... go somewhere else.... "get-lost" ..... go out ... ride the MRT ... follow the "circle route" ... and hop out to any destination which might interest you ....
.... Arab Street in Singapore ... famous for its textiles and fabrics etc ....

GF TIPS FOR TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY
1. .. some people have asked ... which equipment/gear/lens to bring ... well.. just follow your heart .... bring all the equipments that you can afford to bring/carry ... kit lens .... tele-zoom .... prime lens .... ultra-wide zoom lens ..... and bring along your tripod if you will .... because you never know you might need a particular lens... and you might blame yourself for not tugging it along with you ...
2. Do I have to bring all the equipments everywhere I go at the destination?
... no u just leave it in your hotel room! .. Dooh! ... why u wanna leave it in your hotel room? .. Might as well not to bring all the gears at the first place! ... well.. the actual answer is ... yes of course.. u need to bring all or some of the gears .. make sure u have a proper camera bag ... be it a shoulder bag, slingbag .. or a bag pack( thou the most comfortable but backpack is quite troublesome to get the gears in and out of the bag)
3. So if I am to carry the camera bag, how can I carry all my shopping bags?
.... hmmmm... on top of your head or you can bring an assistant with u!... oh well.. if you are asking me such question, you are like asking, can I eat while I drive? .. or can I play Tuba and dance at the same time? .... well u can ... but it is going to be ultimately difficult ...
.... if u wanna go shopping, don't bring your camera equipments then ... shopping and photography doesn't work well with each other ... unless you are shopping for camera equipments .. or photographing people shopping.. then .. that is a different story ...
4.How about Batteries & Memory Cards?
... bring as much batteries as u could.. so much that they can power a third world country ...eeermm... not! ... just bring what u can, but for batteries, remember to bring your charger, and check if the socket is compatible with the place of destination.... where as for Memory Cards, if you are shooting RAW, then 1GB for sure is not enough, unless you wanna take ONLY ONE photo for each day... if you don't have loads of Memory Cards, bring your laptop, or external hard disk, or get those online storage thingy ... otherwise... use the smallest jpeg setting on your camera... for sure 1GB can get you about 1000 photos ....
5.Wear a comfortable footwear .... I'd recommend ... get a CROCS! ... tried & tested ... might looked ugly to some ... but hey ... it is extremely comfortable ... and of course... because the "cheerful" colour and funky designs of the CROCS ... you must be confident enough to wear it in public .... must not be shy shy one meh ... hmmm.. and if you think you are those shy type... well.. forget about bringing those bulky SLR with you then......as you might be just to shy to use the D/SLR in public too ...
