Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Night
This location is great for photography all months of the year – as long as it’s not raining! The wet season is typically September to February.
Visit this location at night between 19:00 - 22:00. The expressway should still have heavy traffic, yet there won’t be too many people around to interrupt your shots. In the evening you can also catch the light of the Singapore Flyer.

Field tips

Try balancing the composition of your shot with the Singapore Flyer and expressways. You will have to use a zoom lens to compose this tight of a shot.
The expressway can be used as leading lines to guide the viewer’s eyes to the edges of the frame.
Try taking a long exposure to capture the evening lights and passing traffic.
