Singapore Garden Festival 2010, the Bi-annual Garden Festival in Singapore's Suntec City Convention Center! This time, i took this opportunity to test out my DSLR with taking pictures of Nature. At this event, I aimed to capture close-up photos of different types of flowers, different views of the Floral Displays, and playing of the camera functions to capture different effects of the Display.

| The entrance of the exhibition hall. Decorated with different kinds of flowers from around the World.

A unique floral display by The Orchid Society of Papua New Guinea Inc
|
 |
| A Silver Prized Award Display by Naval Base Secondary School
|
 |
| An artistic way of making a decoration for the Garden Festival. Its really stunning to see how artists can make use of the available flowers to bundle up a huge display of the flowers.

|
A Green Castle, which made use of modern decorations and equipment of a 'Dream Castle', fused with nature
|
 |
| Bonsai! Attempted to take a picture like those 'heavenly' scene with a Thousand Years Tree, found in Chinese Fantasy Stories
|
 |
|
A Bonsai which resembles the look of Whomping Willow from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
|
 |
|
Look as though the man behind is admiring the 'tree' from under the Bonsai
|
 |
|
A really interesting way to 'shape' the Bonsai, into the that of Chinese Characters
|

A Huge Guardian Gardener at the entrance of another exhibition hall, made up of flowers and grass

|
A front view of an art piece using flowers. It looks like a fireworks from the front, showing that the individuals are fighting their way to reach their destination first
|
 |
|
The side view of the art piece looks like overlapping waves, which is always moving forward. |

|
An interesting 3D portray of a night sky, which shows all four seasons of nature
|
 |
|
An attempt to play with shuttle speed, to capture individual drops of water being pumped out in the display. Its a bit dark though
|
 |
|
Another effect of shuttle speed, to show streams of water. The longer shuttle speed caused more light to enter the lens, into the sensor, causing the picture to be brighter
|
 |
|
A unique way of fusing nature with technology
|
 |
|
A larger view of the Fusion work piece
|
 |
|
A modern or future way of growing plants
|
 |
| Another attempt to play with shuttle speed to capture different effects of streaming water.

Flash was used as the initial attempt turned out to be a pitch dark picture. Due to lack of experience, I did not know the appropriate way of capturing. So, the thought of using flash came to my mind. It did the job, but the picture is not up to standard
