Best time
Late afternoon
The underground escalator at Resorts World Sentosa Casino can be photographed year round.
Capture this shot right before the sun sets in the late afternoon. During this time, the light will produce a soft glow and the harsh midday sun won't be present.
Field tips
An iPhone, or any mobile phone, won't give you a wide enough frame to get a similar image. You'll need a wider lens (I shot at 20mm) to emphasize the entirety of the escalator.
Make use of the escalator's handles and align yourself so you're centered. The handles will also act as a leading line that guide the eye upward toward the light.
To show off the scale of the escalator, have a few friends stand at the top. Take note of other people and keep out of their way. If you don't have a friend or two with you, be patient for someone to ride up and then capture them as they ascend.
