Supertree @ gardens by the bay

Here’s a supertree from gardens by the bay, it is quite a lovely place if you decide to visit Singapore. This is a view from a suspension walkway, I messed up this shot by not noticing the wire in the top left. I also forgot to stop down the aperture resulting in some nice “character” (spherical aberrations) throughout the image. Thank you carl zeiss jena!

You must return to this scene at night time. It is very beautiful, very photogenic and much cooler than the heat of the day.

I will definitely, although without my nifty fifty as it is plagued with coma. I take it you’ve been here before?

Yes I have been here before. I use some shots taken there at night time in my camera classes.
Here is a hand held shot taken in the evening.

Here is a further, slightly different edit.
Am I allowed to ask what lens you have used? The picture looks somewhat strange when you zoom in. Especially in the bright areas.

It is a Carl Zeiss Jena Praktica 50mm f1.4, the strange look is probably due to spherical aberrations because I shot this wide open. It’s like having a built in promist filter :grinning:

I like it! Especially @Popanz’s edit it somehow looks like a very good 3d render… the unusual scene has something to do with that, but the lens character helps I think.

Combined with the aberrations, @Popanz’s edits make it positively radioactive. Ha ha.

@rasterized I like how the bay and boats are off in the distance but still featured nicely.

Very suggestive tree!
Here is my version. The optical aberrations matches with the old style analog vibe.
