Mural, Kampong Glam


Mural along an alley in Kampong Glam (near Sultan Mosque, Haji Lane, Bali Lane, Beach Road, etc). Lots of murals (or "official graffiti") in this area. I've passed by this mural many times, but couldn't get a good photo of it. On this day, someone happened to leave a yellow mop bucket in front of it, and that made all the difference.
  • Nikon D7000, 12-24mm f4
  • At 12mm, f4, ISO 100, 1/250 seconds
  • Aperture priority, center-weighted metering, auto white balance
  • Picasa: Auto contrast, straighten, fill light
I don't use wide angle lenses much, too much distortion in the corners for photographing people, is fine for buildings and scenery. The alley was quite narrow, so the wide angle did come in handy.
