Central Business District Singapore (CBD)

December 9th, 2009 by Jeff

Last Friday, I went down to CBD area to experiment the night photography together with a group of friends. Surrounded by Canon’s fans while I am the only one capturing the scene with Nikon machine.

The Singapore River forms a central artery in Singapore’s densely packed Central Business District. The riverside is best accessed by MRT Raffles Place station (North-South/East-West Lines) and Clarke Quay station (North-East Line) stations, while the nearest station to the Marina district is City Hall station, connected by a long underground shopping mall to Suntec and the Esplanade.
