Where can I shoot the Milky Way in Singapore?
You can photograph the Milky Way at any location in Singapore, only if you know how to do it. You can read my Milky Way tutorial or join one of my Singapore night photography tours/workshops if you want to fast-track your astrophotography skills.
28 Feb 2014 – Rising Milky Way galaxy and planet Venus in Singapore
I’ve been asked this question too many times that I decided to create a post for it. Some of the locations are no longer accessible to the public. The above image is one such example. It was taken in the East of Singapore but the site is now under construction. The below images were taken near the same site and it’s no longer accessible. It’s such a pity because it’s the only location I know of where I could see the Milky Way with my naked eye.
