How To Make Your Singapore Milky Way Images Pop!
Two years after I've released my tutorial on How I Photograph The Milky Way from Light-Polluted Skies of Singapore, I've finally found time to create a video tutorial on one of my workflows based on the latest version of Photoshop - Photoshop CC 2015.5. Sorry for the long wait!
In this video tutorial, I've used an image which I had taken at Sentosa, Singapore in 2014 and the workflow will only work at locations which are darker than Sentosa or otherwise, a more complex workflow is required to unveil the elusive Milky Way.

Just came back from my Mount Bromo trip and I finally found time to complete this tutorial, after I wrote my first article for SLR Lounge last week, before I have to fly again soon. I will update this tutorial along the way but meanwhile, I hope this will get you started.
A recent study suggests that Singapore was ranked as second safest out of 99 countries and this may also imply that the heavy light pollution here could have helped maintain the city's low crime rate. So, light pollution will continue to be an ever-growing problem in major cities that threaten human sleep patterns, animal migrations, natural habitats, heritage of appreciation for our night sky and more. Of course, I am not implying that we should compromise on safety in order for us to admire heavens, but there are smarter ways to light up a city by pointing down the street lights and using very focused LEDs.

Twilight Wonders of Mount Bromo (Astrophotography Tours)
Twilight Wonders of Mount Bromo Astrophotography Tours
I didn’t intentionally start out thinking I was going to run Astrophotography Tours on Mount Bromo. It just happened as the next logical step because I wanted to share my profound experience with the location with as many like-minded people out there. The first time I visited Mount Bromo was in April 2012 because I’ve seen plenty of breathtaking sunrise images from that vantage point online and I wanted to see everything for myself. I only stayed for 3 days but Mount Bromo did not disappoint and indeed there was just too much beauty and splendor to capture from the dramatic landscapes and eerie surroundings. Let me tell you more about it so you can be convinced and persuaded to join one of my astrophotography tours in the future.
