With the special arrangements, we came back at a much later time that is outside of the public scheduled timing as the ferry services will stop way before sunset timing.   This trip is organised for those who are looking for something unique to photograph. As it is not a workshop, instruction is fairly limited and help is rendered as and when possible.   As Lazarus Island is situated away from the mainland and with much lesser light pollution, there are several things you can attempt to shoot. - Sunset Singapore Skyline from a different perspective other than Marina Bay - Wildlife (I shot the Common Terns) - Light painting- Astrophotography if the weather permits- Drone flights We shall be meeting at the Marina South Pier at 2.30 pm before proceeding to the boats at 3pm. We will be meeting up again at 9.15pm at the Lazarus Pier before the boat picks us up at 10pm.The cost of 40 dollars includes Zoom class/briefing online before the trip and special fare for the night trip. A bottle of NZ mineral water and simple snack are provided.

However, there will be a program/location layout for those who are attending so you will know where to find me or my assistants at various locations at a specific time. You are certainly welcome to attend any of the activities but again, it is not forced.   The pre-trip briefing will be conducted online via Zoom 2-3 days before Aug 15.
