Dragonfly Lake view of Marina Bay Sands (night)

Once you enter Gardens by The Bay, walk towards the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. When you reach the Indian Garden circular path, turn left, and you’ll see a stairway that leads you down to the Dragonfly Lake viewpoint. By MRT: - Closest MRT Station: Bayfront (Downtown Line) - Take exit “C” - Head northeast on Bayfront Ave - Turn left towards the Marina Bay Overpass, take the stairs and walk across into Gardens by the Bay

This location is great to shoot any time of year, although clear skies and hazy skies would give the lighting of the Marina Bay Sands and its reflection different effects.

At sunset, the sun drops directly behind the Marina Bay Sands and lights the sky with vibrant colors (as long as it’s clear!). At night you’re best able to capture the hotel’s reflection in the lake.

Don’t forget to bring insect repellant! It can get buggy in the evenings and really distract you.

Be creative; get people in your shot instead of just having the “standard shot.”

Try using a Neutral Density filter to reduce the amount of light entering the camera, enabling you to take a longer exposure and capture the reflection.

Enjoy the Gardens by the Bay! It’s a nature park spanning 101 hectares (250 acres), and is beautiful!
