Singapore Open 2008 Photographs

Singapore Indoor Stadium, Kallang

About a year ago, the SIS vicinity was in chaotic disarray. When I visited this place again, it was more tidy and the new Stadium MRT station was already in place.

Being underground and part of the Circle Line, the building was unimpressive but vital to bring lots of people to this sports, recreation and amusement playground much more conveniently than before. In any case, with the National Stadium to be torn down to make way for the Kallang Sports Hub, many outstanding buildings will appear in about 3 to 4 years. Then this Kallang venue will be a popular meeting place for the young and old.

Hi Oldhand, good to note that you've joined the company of amateur photographers like Sealman and myself and contributed some colour to the SO tournament in BC.

I thought I saw someone resembling you at the Premium Seats section. But I wasn't too sure as I thought you were not as 'heavy' as that big man.
That would be a good place to take shots. Fastdrop was there too but he doesn't use his camera as much as we do. Unfortunately I was farther away in the mid-section and was unable to take clearer pics of the action in the courts but I guess it doesn't matter that much.

Enjoy your shooting!

Neither my camera nor its output is anywhere in your league
Even the simplest DSLR is not something up my alley.

I did see quite a few BC members around... but not Sealman or you!
In fact, I was hoping to spot a large (and noisy) contingent

 

[Oldhand]

If you had shot this a little more to the left, I would have been in the picture (in the corporate box).

Now you know why I shot it more to the right

OT: What are you doing in the Corp Box anyway?

 

[narnia]

Thanks a lot, Oldhand and Loh, for the great big pictures.
Can I see some korean players later?

Cheers!
