Little India
Given the plethora of cultures represented in Singapore, says Ahmed, you can almost always find a street lit up for some kind of festival. If it's not Ramadan or Chinese New year or Christmas and the Western New Year, then it's Diwali, which takes place in the fall of the Hindu calendar. To compress the lights strung down Orchard Road, Ahmed used a telephoto lens, set at 180 mm, and kept everything in focus with a small aperture (f16).
