Orchard Road
The shopping district known as Orchard Road probably needs no introduction to most. This is the Times Square/Fith Ave , Champs Elysee, Piccadilly of Singapore.
As u can imagine, Orchard Road has high human traffic in the day and poses a difficulty to shoot with the crowd and the hot blazing sun ! And when the sun sets, the lights come alive.
Pls allow me to take you on a trip.... a night trip.
A landmark Hotel on Orchard Road. The Marriott Hotel sits the busiest cross junction on Orchard.
It has an interesting history and u can find more info if u google "Tangs Hotel"
The new and glitziest of em all ... the new ION Orchard Mall. Lotsa Watch Shop/Boutiques within !
This elderly lady is an Ice Cream Cart street seller, and gamely posed for a photo was asked.
Best I could do with a 35mm lens !
International Brands Galore. U will not be found wanting !
Orchard Road is also a Horological Mecca of sorts !
The usual photog mates ....
On a final note, do note that the street photos were taken past 10pm (Shops are usually close 9-930pm).
The obligatory throngs of crowd will therefore apply if u do venture at an earlier hour !
