Stairs in Fort Canning: Late Night Photography

When I was living in Sophia Hills, there was a popular park near my home—it’s about 15 minutes walk from my place to the park.

There’s a small children’s playground at the foot of Fort Canning Hill, and my daughter really love it then. I took her there a few times, mostly in the night. My daughter especially loved the swings here, she was full of courage and energy whenever she was on them.

I took this photo around the midnight one night. I can clearly remember the light metering results for this scene, the darker areas required a 26-second exposure time, so I reduced the exposure by 1 stop to 15s to avoid overexposure in the bright areas, and then I pressed the shutter.
