The Sun-Moon Lake

Welcome to the Sun-Moon Lake in central Taiwan. The resort features its indigenous culture and the cruiser on the lake.

Some photos of plums

Plums are one of the most favorite photographic theme in Taiwan. This year I went to Sen-Yi in Nan-tou County,Taiwan three times. Due to Typhoon Morakot last year,the road leading to the plum resort were badly damaged and it was a hard time to get there.

To avoid monotony,usually I take the calyx and branches together with the petals.

Old love

In Taiwan, lotuses have become many people’s old love. Every summer,when lotuses begin to bloom in the pond,people tiptoe to the pond with their cameras,choosing the best angles and begin their great creation.

Mt.Hohuan in Taiwan

Few people in Taiwan have seen snow as it is located in sub-tropical area (zone). Mt. Hohuan is one of the rare resorts that “sometimes” offer snow to see. For more pics, please go to my ALBUM at http://www.wretch.cc/album/albertshaw.

Reflection lens

The portraits were taken with Minolta’s RF Rokkor-x,250mm .When properly located,the lens can produce an effect with many little circles. The lens is a favourite of many Taiwanese photographers during the photographic competition.

The posted pics were taken with special lens. It can produce dreamy vague.Maybe you don’t like the effect because it seems to be the result of careless vibration. But no, the peculiar effect is created by,yes,of course you know it, the Lensbaby.

Musical teams in communities

There are traditional Chinese musical teams in the communities around Taiwan. The members gather once or twice a week to practice their favourite tune for entertainment. Some of the teams play in the religious festivals,but only few of them play in the funerals for commercial profit.Most of the members are retired elders who want to entertain themselves after hard work in life.
