Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum Entrance

This image is of the Buddha Tooth Relic & Temple, right after you step inside the main entrance. You can either drive, take a taxi or ride the MRT to get there. By MRT: - Closest station: Chinatown (North East Line or Downtown Line) - Take exit A - Head southeast on Pagoda St toward Trengganu St - Turn right onto Trengganu St - Trengganu St veers left and becomes Sago St and the destination will be on your right

For a reflection shot, you can visit the Buddha Tooth and Relic Temple and Museum any month on a day when it's raining. I recommend visiting from June to September, since these are the rainiest months in Singapore.

Though this spot is stunning anytime of day, I chose to capture it during sunset when the soft life contrasted against the vibrant color of the temple, giving off a dark reflection. For minimum disturbance from people, visit around 3pm during the week.

To incorporate your model, the temple and the reflection try using a wide-angle lens. For this photo, I used a 16mm lens.

Having your model hold an umbrella adds another element to your photo. You can also experiment and use another prop — get creative!

Get low so you have a different perspective of the shot. The temple will appear larger and your model can be used for scale from this angle.

Enjoy the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple's majestic place of worship.

Restaurants, temples and shops are nearby. Check out the Singapore City Gallery for current exhibits.
