Yeah, the Supertrees are seriously impressive in person. The photos really don't do them justice. There aren't exactly "secret pathways" – it's pretty well-trodden, but you can definitely find less crowded spots to appreciate them. Try heading to the OCBC Skyway at a less popular time, like early morning or late afternoon. The crowds will be smaller then. Also, walking around the perimeter of the Supertree Grove at ground level offers some different perspectives and avoids the main viewing platforms. You'll see the structures from unique angles and get some great shots without the hordes of people. And honestly, just wandering around the whole Gardens by the Bay area is amazing; there's tons to explore beyond just the Supertrees themselves. Have an awesome trip!

The views from the Benjamin Sheares Bridge are pretty spectacular at night, no doubt. However, some of the best photo spots are on the bridge itself, and they involve being pretty high up. If heights really bother you, you'll probably be happier viewing it from afar. There are plenty of parks and areas along the waterfront where you can get decent shots without having to feel like you're about to take flight. Maybe check out the Esplanade – the views from there are also amazing, and it's definitely much more ground-level. You'll still get a killer shot of the bridge!
