Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum view of Rooftop

This location is outside the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum. I stood at the intersection of Sago St and South Bridge Rd, just right of the main entrance. By MRT: - Closest MRT Station: Chinatown (Downtown Line and North East Line) - Take exit “A” - Head southeast on Pagoda St toward Trengganu St - Turn right onto Southbridge Rd Address: Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, 288 South Bridge Rd, Singapore 058840

All months of the year are suitable to photograph outside of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.

Visit during late-afternoon or sunset for optimal light, when it’s not too harsh or dim.

By getting low and using a wide-angle lens (16mm) you can really bring scale to the temple and your composition.

Wait for a subject wearing colors that complement the colors of the temple; I was lucky to find capture one wearing a similar reddish hue and a contrasting top. Be patient (or get lucky)!

By shooting in burst mode (i.e., taking a continuous string of shots) you will have an easier time capturing your model at a perfect moment. Be careful as not to look like you’re upskirting =X

Go inside! Eat at the nearby hawker centers.
