Here's a photo taken from my trip to Korea - Seoul. We were at Lotte world, an indoor theme park with rides and cartoon figurines. Took a picture of the ice skating rink at the basement of Lotte world.
A nice picture to add on miniature effects using Photoshop.
Steps:
1. Mask the picture
2. Using Gradient to select the portion that you want to focus.
3. Unmask the picture
4. Select Filter->Blur->Lens Blur
5. Adjust the Radius
6. Hue/Saturation to create a cartoonist figurine effect.
7. Done.

Evening at the Marina Barrage
My very first night scenery shoot using Nikon D90. A tripod is a must and set my settings to use slow shutter speed to capture the lights in the night. Here's a picture among the trials shot taken. This was taken at the Henderson Wave bridge. Cool night breeze! Love it!
