Good places to meet

- Tiong Bahru estate: Pre-war flats built by the Singapore Improvement Trust from 1936 in Streamline Moderne style. It is residential, so keep noise down.

Tips
- Ask before photographing people up close, and respect signs at places of worship and in residential estates.
- Plan around golden hour and blue hour, and carry water, as it stays warm after sunset.
- Check the latest CAAS rules before flying a drone anywhere in Singapore.
- Meet at a public, easy-to-find landmark such as an MRT exit, and share your route with a friend.
- Keep your kit light and your bag zipped in crowds.
Questions
Do I need a proper camera?
No. Phone photographers are welcome. Say what you shoot with in your topic so others know what to expect.
Can beginners join photo walks?

Is it safe to shoot at night?
Stick to busy, well-lit places like Gardens by the Bay or Henderson Waves after it is lit, go with your group, and keep valuables close.
