Singapore's cosmopolitan mix and multicultural heritage, from colonial entrepot to nation-state, give rise to a diversity of architectural styles, from different periods. The contrasts can be easily found all over the city.

I have taken some pics showing the various forms of contrast, feel free to add yours :)

Physical manifestation of the changes at Tiong Bahru:

Looks so HK ish. :P

RafflesCity may I ask what equipment you are using to take your pictures ?
And do you take pictures for a living ?

:-)

I use Nikon D50 and taking pics is a hobby for me :-)

Any speciel lens you are using RafflesCity, I can see you take your pictures with zoom and wide angel lenses ?
Thought you might take pictures for real estate agents perhaps, I do :-)
But like some of the pthers said, your pictures are always good quality.

I'm using the 18-200mm zoom lens only...btw glad you like the pics...feel free to share your pics on the forum too :)

I don't have any pictures of Singapore, that are any special. The ones I have a real tourist snapshots :-)
But I might have some soon, was supposed to go here for Christmas, but I have the flu :-(
More likely gonna be sometime between christmas and new year instead.
Denmark doesn' have any skyscrapers, tallest building is 26 stories high, nothing compared to any of yours.

Its the rainy season now...so it is cooler...but still definitely warm by Denmark's standard I imagine :yes:

For Christmas the city streets are lighted up ;-)

I'm using the 18-200mm zoom lens only...btw glad you like the pics...feel free to share your pics on the forum too :)

That's quite an impressive range for a single lense. I've got 18-55 and 75-300. I'd be tempted to get the lense you've got because it seems like a great all rounder lense if it's practical to only take one.

^^

Having a single lens with a wide range is the most convenient for me, for the pics that I take :yes:

According to my city map it is Masjid Al-Falah. Not sure, though. It doesn't look like a prayer place, rather like an old office...

It must have been something scary for people living in there when OCBC was built ^ ^

Maybe more like exciting?

Skyscrapers were rarer then and OCBC was going to be the tallest when it was built. Would be fun if SSC was around during that period of Singapore's construction boom :yes:

Contrast with OUB:

Yeah right, but most "normal" people find construction sites to be an annoyance rather than a source of excitement ;-) That's why I was saying that, thinking of the simple, maybe lower-class family living next to the rising concrete monster ^ ^;

oh yeah...you must have seen the old pics of Singapore when the shophouses were in slum-like conditions..the contrast with the urban decay would have been so dramatic...much like what you'd see in Hong Kong etc

Peace :cheers:

No problem. Just wasn't sure what you mean so ask for clarification m))

Yes, i like to use the Av (Apperture) setting most of the time on my camera as to blur out the background and bring the main subject in focus.

Its actually reflected partially on those reflective tiles blocks u find along UOB near the giant bird:lol:

It would be great if somebody could find a beautifully restored shophouse right next to an unrestored one, and then frame the two in a very tight shot. Think that would make a very nice picture. Just offering up the idea since it's unlikely i'll be free to go photo-taking anytime soon.

^^ I know of such a place, but I think the old shophouse has just been torn down.:(

I did a similar thing with a rotting warehouse & a restored one earlier in this thread.

There are actually quite a number of places in Singapore where you can still get a mix of newly restored and rotting shophouses. Jalan Besar is one area and there are several in Kampong Glam.

Taken around Boat Quay (Raffles Place) this afternoon. Great contrast of old & new buildings :)

Thanks raptor, glad you like the shophouse details :D

IMO, new buildings can be built anywhere, but the shophouses of Singapore will remain culturally true to Singapore and is a unique asset for the city.

@raptor, public is allowed to go to the higher floors? Would be nice to sample the view from up there

Looks familiar but can't remember where I might have seen these. These buildings are in Chinatown or Selegie?

^^

Yup the first one is along Selegie Rd while the other pic is closeby at the entrance to Mt Sophia.

The Sophia Flats is a real classic beauty, similar in style to the Capitol Building:

The Pinnacle @ Duxton contrasts dramatically with the shophouses at Keong Saik Road.

That is a really contrast area :) Nice take.

Very imposing

Thanks lifestyle, I also like your shot of Pinnacles vs the shophouses in the Pinnacles thread :cool:

It just makes a very interesting backdrop to the lowrise historical district.
