Linkbridge at Millenia Walk view of Mandarin Oriental

This photograph was taken from the Linkbridge at Millenia Walk Shopping Centre. Enter the building, take the escalator to Level 2, and look for signage to the Linkbridge (exit near Harvey Norman retail store). Once you’re on the Linkbridge you should see Mandarin Oriental’s unique façade in the distance! By MRT: - Closest MRT Station: Promenade (Circle Line and Downtown Line) - Take exit “B” - Head northeast Address: Milennia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039596

All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Mandarin Oriental’s façade.

In the morning (09:00-10:30) the light hits this side of Mandarin Oriental at an angle, creating an array of great tones and shadows.

I aligned the camera to the corners to ensure symmetry (vertical and diagonal alignment).

Be patient and try to photograph someone coming out onto their balcony. Makes the shot feel more human!

I suggest using a zoom lens since the Mandarin Oriental is in the distance. Also, where you stand and how you hold the camera will have great impact on how much of the façade’s patterns are exposed. Take your time to compose the perfect shot.

Millenia Walk and Marina Square has good shopping and food.
