HEre are some shots where I experimented with slow shutter speeds, low lighting conditions etc. There are all taken with the 18-70, mostly handheld. Next time, I think I'll invest in a good tripod and bring it along. I did have one of those mini-tripods, but they're really not designed to hold up an SLR camera.
Fountain at the Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang. It was way too bright, but I got a couple of nice shots. Maybe a ND filter next time?

I liked this one - Handheld on a ferry! Sunrise, heading towards the mainland of Penang.

Just playing around - slow shutter speed, tunnel. Some of the lines are wobbly as we were in a car, naturally.

Sunset, Singapore. I shouldn't have put the camera away, would have got a nicer shot a few minutes later (always the way with sunsets / sunrises though.

We were eating at an outdoor restaurant, the palm trees were lit with spotlights from below - I liked the effect.

In the lobby of a hotel in Singapore - had a large pool with fish in it, I was on the opposite side to these pieces of art which were lit up nicely.
