Location
This photo was taken on my trip to Singapore. We are in the Mall at Marina Bay Sand under the hotel boat. This is gigantic on several levels and in front of me this huge white wall with an escalator has inordinate size. I am impressed with these white tones on whiteTime
We are in middle of afternoon inside the building, the light is soft and filter through the canopyLighting
I haven't used Flash, but everything in a way, it is not important because at this distance it was useless. I need adjustment depending on the lighting which is more than enough natural light filter of the glass ceiling, set my white balance.However the escalator moves, he must also set the speed.The more difficult with the white does not get an image "burned"Equipment

I immediately liked these tones of white on white. The escalator would have had no interest if there was nobody on it. The interest lies in the cot minimalist image. Contrasts of white and just 2 small characters that gives this huge impression in this sleek architectureEditing
Bit of post processing just a cropping and a little exposure and more ensuring to me not burn whiteIn my camera bag
Most of time I take only my camera, 2 batteriesand a light bag . A heavy bag is always a problem if you have to walk a lot .I take also my compact flash in spare.I only carried a tripod if necessary.,and another camera lens if I think I need it .I also have a wide angle , but I do not use it for the scenery, I think that too flattened image except of course in some cases.I still also have a notebook and a pen to take notes .I usually let my battery charger in the hotel , my extra batteries enough for the day. The goal , always limit the weight because of my back problem , if I walk too long with too heavy material it spoils my pleasure to photo.Il the need to feel free and comfortable to make good pictures. I still also have a small compact in spare in case of failure .Feedback
Good adjustments so as to have enough light without burning the whites who then are not caught. It is better to be a bit more darker and then to adjust the exposure on lightroom do not get dizzy because I was positioned on the other side, and looked at the top of the balustrade in order do not fit the restaurant below on the image.
