Best time

Mid-day
In sunny Singapore, all months are great to visit this façade.
Visiting mid-day when the sunlight is brightest would allow you to best capture the colors of the TV test screen on the façade.

Field tips

By using a wide-angle lens (18mm) you’ll be able to best capture the block’s full façade.
Try to align the levels of the horizontal pillars of the housing block with the grid lines on your phone.
Try placing a model or subject in your frame to create a minimal people perspective.
