I shot this not so long ago in the area of Kampong Glam. I had been walking for few hours doing street photography when I suddenly saw this man reading something on the second floor of that shop house. I did not want him to look at me, so I quickly composed a shot. The sky has gotten darker and the street lights helped to illuminate the wall. I had to bump the ISO up to 800 and shot at wide aperture of 2.8 to give me a fast enough shutter speed for hand held shooting.
When I first saw this moment, it reminded me of a shot that I took back in January 2006 at Little India which I posted on my old photoblog before. Then, I saw this old man opening his window and I had only split second to take the shot. Sometimes, you just need to be in the right place and in the right time to take a good shot.
