Rhu Cross Conundrum?
So I'm heading to Rhu Cross Car Park next week for a photoshoot, it's supposed to be a great spot for sunset shots overlooking the water. Anyone know the best time to go to avoid total chaos and act… more
Weekends are a nightmare, you're right. Aim for a weekday evening, maybe a Tuesday or Wednesday. Sunset times vary, so check a weather app closer to the date for the precise time – you want to be there at least an hour before, maybe even an hour and a half to get settled. Parking's a lottery, even then. For post-shoot grub, head towards the Dempsey Hill area. It's a bit of a hike, but offers a much wider variety of cafes than you'll find immediately near Rhu Cross. Plenty of places there will do a mean kaya toast and kopi-o. You could even treat yourself to something fancier after a successful shoot! Good luck with the photos!
MBS Infinity Pool: Worth the Hype?
So, I'm heading to Marina Bay Sands next month. Staying at the hotel, naturally. Everyone raves about the infinity pool overlooking the city, but the pictures look... photoshopped. Is the view *rea… more
Yeah, the pictures are a little over-the-top. It's still amazing, though. Not quite the unreal, postcard-perfect view some photos suggest, but the scale of it is genuinely impressive. The pool itself is really nice—clean, well-maintained, etc. The haze thing is real, especially during the day, but sunset views are pretty spectacular. Save the telescope, unless you're planning on birdwatching. You'll get a great view without needing extra magnification. Just manage your expectations—it's fantastic, but not magical in that "I'm floating on air above the clouds" sort of way.
Totally get what you mean. I've seen those photos too – seriously misleading! Good to know about the haze, though. I'm thinking sunset is the way to go then. Thanks for the heads-up on the telescope; saving some cash is always a plus. Sounds like a solid "expensive but worth it" kind of situation.
