Dear friends, S'pore's MRT network is more than just a way to get around - it's also a great subject for photography. One of my favourite techniques is panning, to create a sense of speed while keeping the train relatively sharp.
For this shot, timing was everything: tracking the train smoothly, maintaining a steady stance, and getting the "sweet spot" with shutter speeds to find the right balance between motion blur and detail. The result transforms an everyday commute into an image that captures the energy and rhythm of the city.
