Marina One Residence Look Down

This photograph is a look down shot of the Marina One Residences. I stood at the nearby field near Exit “A” and Exit “B” of the Marina Bay MRT station. By MRT: - Closest MRT Station: Marina Bay (Circle Line & North South Line) - Take exit “A” or “B”

Every month of the year is good to photograph the Marina One Residence.

The featured photograph was taken in the late-afternoon although you can photograph this spot throughout the day. In the morning, the light is the softest and you may get a slight gold tint reflecting off the structure from the sunlight creeping in. Mid-day light creates significant contrast and shadows from the light directly above. If you’re lucky, the shadow will cover half the structure, giving a nice effect.
 The sun sets just behind the west side of the building; you can capture amazing lighting just slightly before the sun dips behind the horizon.

A permit is required if flying a drone weighing more than 7kg, within 5km of an airport/military base, or higher than 200 feet.

Fly your drone at a good spot with little to no magnetic interference. Since you are flying near the vicinity of commercial buildings it’s important to keep a clear line of sight when flying.

I prefer a direct look down of the residence because I feel it’s the best way to capture the curves of the structure. Try exploring different angles. Challenge yourself, surprise me. 😀

You might want to tilt the gimbal slightly upwards when composing your image because the distortion can accentuate the curves of the structure and make it more dynamic.

The Marina Bay Promontory is within walking distance. At night you can catch the light displays at Marina Bay Sands. Showtimes: Sunday to Thursday – 8pm & 9pm Friday & Saturday – 8pm, 9pm and 10pm https://www.marinabaysands.com/entertainment/spectra.html#rocY7p3d5418SHzu.99
