Day out at The Esplanade with Nikon D3000

Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay was completed and opened since 1995. Since then, it has been an icon on Singapore's riverside cityscape, joining buildings like Fullerton and other commercial skyscrapers. Till today, never have I wondered about the meaning behind it's name.

An esplanade is a long, open, level area, usually next to a river or large body of water, where people may walk.

So there's that. Here's a few shots I took while at the Esplanade - both day and night photos.

The interior of Esplanade. The light cast on the right wall changes according to the angle of the roof and time of the day. Really cool design.

My 1st HDR photo attempt.

This is The Esplanade's outdoor theatre. There is two of them I think. This one is the main one that is built right in front of The Esplanade itself. I wish I had more of the sky so it wouldn't be so squished. -sigh-

The Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay. Bathed in orange light.

Marina Bay Sands light show with the mini fireworks around their musical fountain. Very pretty and enchanting.

Most of these shots have obviously been edited. I dont have wide angle lens so I need to stitch them together myself while some of the other shots went through HDR Processing. I only have one camera - Nikon D3000 and I'm using the standard kit lens.

Dropbox announces partnership with Softbank and Sony Ericsson

This is such sweet news! I'm currently waiting for Sharp to bring their phones to our sunny island's shores but if that doesn't happen fast enough, I was actually eyeing SE's Xperia mini pro. Sharp is under Softbank and SE is well... under SE. Those eyeing phones offered by these companies, rejoice!

Hi everyone! Two months ago, we kicked off our internationalization effort by launching Dropbox in French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. The launch is off to an incredible start, and we’re happy to welcome our new users from all around the world.

But we’re not quite finished yet. All you international users will now have one more thing to cheer about– we’re excited to announce our very first partnership, with Sony Ericsson and Softbank!

Beginning today, Sony Ericsson will sell Dropbox-powered Android phones in ten countries including the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, and Italy. These phones include the shiny new Arc and Play. (Sorry Verizoners, we’re working on it!)

Also, starting in early June, Dropbox will come pre-installed on several Android phones for Softbank customers in Japan, including a brand new 3D phone from Sharp. But Softbank users get a special bonus– you’ll be getting an extra 1GB in addition to the 2GB you normally get from a free account!

With these partnerships, we hope to continue the awesome momentum of our internalization effort by putting Dropbox in the hands of people around the globe. We hope to offer you more juicy mobile news in the future too!

Until then, how’s your Dropbox mobile app been treating you these days?
