The take

Night photography comes down to settings and patience, and the Supertrees give you plenty to practise on for free. You start at blue hour, shoot the first Garden Rhapsody from the ground, then take in the grove from the OCBC Skyway above it.

Meet Marcus

Marcus is a travel photographer who teaches the settings and framing that make night shots work on a phone as well as a camera. He keeps the whole evening in the outdoor gardens and Supertree Grove, where there's more to shoot than one walk can use.

Highlights

Garden Rhapsody, the free light show, shot from the ground
Phone and camera settings that work at night

What you'll do

1
7:00 PM
Blue-hour basics
Settings, framing and tripod rules in Supertree Grove as the sky turns deep blue. The whole walk stays in the free outdoor gardens, away from the domes and Floral Fantasy.
2
7:45 PM
Garden Rhapsody
The free light-and-sound show plays at 7.45pm and 8.45pm and lasts about 10 to 15 minutes. We shoot the first one from the ground in the grove.
3
8:30 PM
OCBC Skyway
A 128-metre aerial walkway, 22m up, with your ticket included. Last admission is 8.30pm, so we walk straight over from the show. Rain or lightning can close it, and Gardens by the Bay then sends you to the Supertree Observatory instead.
