Chinese New Year (CNY) is approaching here in Asia, and you can see evidence of the preparations around Singapore. Part of the festivities will take place at the large events space around Marina Bay, and I walked over there with my camera and tripod this morning and found a scene to photograph, with the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort (aka casino) in the background. The sun was rising behind this festive, temporary gate, so I made several different exposures of the same image and blended 5 of them in Photomatix Pro to get this reasonably natural looking view (HDR). I experimented with one of the single frames, but I couldn't readily get as close an approximation to the full exposure range that you can see with the naked eye.
