Our once a month visit to the nearing completed The Minton condo has changed to fortnightly and now weekly visits. We normally visit in the mid-mornings and where possible only when I’m certain of getting reasonably decent lighting for pictures. Just for a change, we went by on the Vesak pubic holiday evening to check out what our new home looks like at evenings.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if there’s still construction on normal week day evenings, but all was quiet at least on the holiday evening, with just a couple of foreign workers relaxing in the compound chatting among themselves or calling loved ones back home. Not an easy shoot at all then, given the very small time window where there’s still sufficient light for exposure to near total darkness as the construction floodlights were all switched off. All the pictures were taken on the 14mm f2.5.<\/p>\n

Several of the later pictures in the shoot were taken at 1\/4s shutter speed and handheld. This exposure speed was only possible with the very unique 5-axis optical stabilization on the E-M5.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Exposure curves were tweaked quite a bit; there was a lot less light than this actually.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once the apartment blocks are completed and residents move in, the only time when we’ll see our home like this is when there’s a blackout.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No, none of the residents have moved in yet. The lights are probably from some of the workers in the unit there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some homeowners were remarking that the much-discussed projected completion date of end-June will likely be a partial one too – i.e. the apartment units would be ready for residents to move in or begin their renovation work, but the facilities would still be undergoing final construction. Oh well; not as though we’re in a hurry to move in by mid-year anyway.=)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
