Went to visit Cinjing Farm. This is a must stop for tourist including myself.

You need to pay to get in. I don’t remember how much. Less than $200 NT dollar.

On Sunrise at Hehuanshan (合歡山)

October 25th, 2011

aPA211737-Editar-Editar
We thought after checking in the lodge, we could do some relaxing. Then someone from the front desk recommended us to take a tour to Hehuanshan.

IMG_5698-Editar
He showed us the photo on his camera. It was very beautiful scenery. Since we were there, why not. The price $800 NT dollar for two.

IMG_5703-Editar
But, we have to be ready at the front desk at 4am. I say…’What, 4 am. My REM just kicked in!’.

IMG_5733-Editar
Anyway…it was worth it. I took some good photographs. Very cold. Probably about 9 Celsius.

Wuling – The last stop before descending.

On Wing Lee St. & Vicinity

October 6th, 2011

IMG_5532-1-Editar
I was out and about at Wing Lee St and the vicinity area during the Chung Yeung holiday.

IMG_5557-1-Editar
Plus, I just want to re-test the 18mm-55mm Canon kit lens. I left the lens in the storage for a long time. Reason – I was thinking if I should buy a Tokina 12mm-24mm or Tamron 17mm-50mm F2.8.

IMG_5566-1-Editar
I have a Tamron 28mm-75mm but realize it was not wide enough. Very good for low light(night shot)but…not just wide enough.

On random photo 37 – HDR

Been learning how to shoot and process HDR in Photomatix. It really fun on the outcome but too tedious. I need to shoot a least 7 shot and compile it via photomatix. I think I will shoot more of this type of photos.

Saw this at the Olympian City mall. I watched the first movie but did not go to theater to see the 2nd onwards. Probably I am getting old. They used to be my favorite cartoons during my younger days.
