The PolyHobbyist: shoot

If you have enough budget and would like to see more of Gardens by the Bay, then you should absolutely consider visiting the two huge glass domes standing tall along with the Super Trees at the SuperTree Grove. We were supposed to visit Cloud Forest and Flower Dome but sadly, we chose the unlucky date on which the maintenance for Cloud Forest was being held so we were only able to visit one: Flower Dome.

The dome made those very tall trees look tiny.

At first, I was saddened by the unfortunate announcement because I like to visit Cloud Forest more than Flower Dome. But when we entered the largest glass greenhouse in the world, I was left in awe of how much time and effort the people behind this concept had exerted. Guys! It's a huge glass full of flowers and plant species from all over the world! Not to mention, there's no scarcity of sunlight so every spot is good for photographs! For 14 SGD, you can discover different kinds of flowers, trees, and plants while roaming around a refrigerated glass dome. It's oozing with sunlight but it's so cold inside - a perfect climate even for tourists in my opinion.

There's a blue sky waiting tomorrow.

How to Get Here:

Bus transportation is somehow not advisable for tourists especially if you didn't had it all planned out so I suggest you take their very efficient train. Just take the Red Line off to Marina Bay station then Gardens by the Bay should be a few walks away from there.

Flower Dome is one of my highlights in our Singapore trip. I've never seen so many flowers in one day! Plus the fact that we can keep roaming around and capturing instagrammable spots with literally no sweat is great! Enjoy the photos! :D

It's a wonder how this huge greenhouse could serve as habitat for plant species of different needs.

It even houses cacti!

It's really cold inside

Some trees here are over a thousand years old.

My favorite spot is the one where I could see the Singapore Flyer.

Ganda ba 'te?

They hold different exhibits depending on the season. I think there's none when we visited.

These flowers are my favorite....

..because they are the ones I'm wearing LOL.

Awra!

SHOOT is my little space on this blog where I keep track of my learning progress as I venture in the world of photography. I'm still a newbie and quite honestly, I still have A LOT to learn. I'm open to all constructive criticisms especially from you guys who has more experience in taking and editing photos than me. Tell me what you think with the photos I took - good or bad - I would really appreciate it. ;)

If you have been following me on Instagram or a friend of mine on Facebook, or just happen to read the post before this(woah so many links in one sentence haha), you'd know that I've been to Pinto Art Museum to try the camera I just bought last January. Yes, I just started learning how to use the DSLR a few months ago but this is the first time I got to use it outdoors. What's my opinion about it? It feels great! There could be millions of subjects everywhere especially at Pinto Art Museum.

All throughout the shooting process that day, I already learned a lot, more from my mistakes actually. To name a few, I experienced setting too much exposure, misaligned framing, wrong focus, grainy photos, and even, low battery(bad photographer). -.- But at the end of the day, I still felt accomplished. I was able to take some good photos and I want to share it with all of you. Enjoy and comment out what you think. ;)

P.S. The photos where I'm in are taken by my leveled up IG Boyfriend, Chad. LOL.

What makes Pinto Art Museum different from others is how it showcases art. Even the landscape, furnitures and buildings blend with the exhibits.

All of the buildings have big windows, but this one's my favorite. Also, I think the collector who owns the museum finds interest with pregnant women sculptures.
