Spotlight on readers’ excellent images and how they captured them

Jubilee Bridge

3 Here, Benjamin

tried several shutter

speeds until he

settled on one

that captured a

combination of

movement and detail.

Changi East

Boardwalk

1 This boardwalk is

one of Benjamin’s

favourite places

for sunsets. A long

exposure flattened

the sea while keeping

detail in the cloud.

Flags on

Jubilee Bridge

2 Spotting these

flags, which were

lit by spotlights,

Benjamin saw the

potential for a long

exposure. He used

them as a lead-in

line towards the

skyscrapers in

the background.

Benjamin Tan, Singapore
In 2005, having completed a degree in IT,
Benjamin Tan found himself in need of a hobby
to enjoy after four years of hard work. He decided
to invest in a DSLR and, having photographed
events and friends’ weddings, he decided to
concentrate on landscapes and cityscapes. ‘Photography
helps me wind down and rejuvenate after a long week of
work,’ he says. ‘I love how surprising photography can be. You
can go to the same place every weekend, but the changing
light and weather can give you a different mood and photo
each time.’ Visit http://www.benjamintan.photography.
