Singapore Management Universtiy (SMU) Concourse


The Concourse is the basement passage underneath the Singapore Management University, connecting its various faculty buildings. There are study benches, shops, a canteen, and a link to the Bras Basah MRT station. It's open to the public. 

It's a few hundred meters long, covering more than half the distance between the Dhoby Ghaut and City Hall MRT stations. I often walk along the concourse to avoid the sun and rain. You can see students studying, practicing dances, and doing other student things.

  • Nikon D7000, Sigma 20mm f1.8
  • At 20mm, f2, ISO 800, 1/30 seconds
  • Manual exposure, center-weighted metering, auto white balance
  • Picasa: No editing

It's the colored posters on the signboards that make the photo work. Other times I was there, the posters weren't that colorful and I wasn't tempted to take a photo.

Still testing out the Sigma at wide open apertures, instead of stopping down like I normally would for a perspective photo like this. Pretty decent depth of field at f2. I'm getting more and more confident with the Sigma.
