Gardens By The Bay – Off-Site Part 4

Over the months of September and October the Cool Moist Conservatory has made significant progress and is really taking shape.  The elliptical shape is more dramatic than the Cool Dry and looks very impressive with the extra height.  Inside the Cool Moist the upper levels of the core are being completed.   The core serves as the support structure for the man made mountain complete with sky walk and water fall.  Over on the Cool Dry Conservatory the glazing is advancing forward and the scaffolding is being slowly removed.  As the scaffolding is removed you can really see the conservatory take shape as it’s form is revealed.

Sandwiched between the two conservatories is the ‘Hub’ which is also progressing swiftly. The Hub will serve as a link between the conservatories and will house the majority of the ancillary functions that are required for a project of this size.

Below are images from October and November 2010.  The last two images were taken whilst I was shooting a lighting mockup of the arch lighting.

Cyclone Race Series Team Time Trial

Due to my aversion to Time Trials I volunteered to take photos for the Team Cannasia-Cannondale website at this event. We had 4 teams entered and placings to defend in both the Open Mens and Mixed Duo categories.  With some pretty hot competition it was shaping up to be an interesting morning.  Credit should be given to all the riders and the effort put in by all participants was great to watch.  Cannasia-Cannondale came away with two first places and a second place, but unfortunately a flat tire robbed the Open Mens Duo of a podium place. Congratulations to Tim Clarsen (Cannasia-Cannondale) for taking out the Race Series Points Jersey.

Singapore National Individual Time Trial Championship

Waking to torrential rain in the early hours put some what of a dampener on the enthusiasm to go and shoot this event.  However Gabi was racing and so was Team Cannasia, the cycle racing team we are members of.  By the time we arrived at the venue the skies had cleared and we were looking forward to the racing.  Approximately 170 competitors of various levels turned out to race in this inaugural event.  Gabi competed in the Open Women, Joshua Png rode in the Juniors and the remainder of the team was spread out over the Open Men and Masters categories.  Variable wind conditions over the length of the course took it’s toll on the times, but I can say they gave it their all.  You can read a brief race report here.  Below is a selection of images taken of my team mates and other competitors in action out on the course.
