Calla Lilies in Mono
This picture wasn't too good in its original state. Surprisingly, converting to black and white brought out the texture of the petals. I have purposely left the conversion slightly on the brighter side as I didn't want the texture to be too 'focused. I wanted the original mood to be preserved. The energy of Spring that is. :)

Yangmingshan National Park
at
6:53 AM
One of the things that I have always wanted to shoot is flower nursery. I've seen beautiful pictures take at flower nursery. The colors and the long rows of flowers. This is a scene I don't think I will get to see in Singapore.
Visiting Taiwan durin spring meant that it is a period whereby flowers are blooming at it's peak.
ISO640; 1/100s; f4
I've made a trip up to Yangmingshan National Park during my trip to Taiwan. I was looking forward to taking pictures of Sakura flower and Calla Lily. But the day when I visited Yangmingshan, the weather was just too short and I decided to cut short my time there.

One of the good thing about good sunlight is that it provides ample light for good shots. But it can work to your disadvantage as well since the heat will take a toll on you if you are shooting outdoors.

This has to be my favourite shot taken at Yangmingshan. I particularly like the little yellow glow coming out from the middle.
ISO100; 1/200s; f7.1
I love the texture of the petals illuminated by the sun. This is where the sunlight can really provide good light for shots like this.

I love my 40D because even at ISO1000, the noise is still very well within acceptable level. This photo was taken indoor at ISO1000 with hardly any post processing except give it a tighter crop and adding the watermark.

One of the good thing to travel during spring time is that a lot of colors are available for you to shoot at.

Having said that, black and white conversion can be just as good too! :P
I will be going back to Yangmingshan in future for I probably covered only a small part of it. There are other sectors that needs to be covered and not forgetting the awesome mountainous view from the viewing platform at various part of Yangmingshan.

I'm loving my Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

Spring time in Taipei
Canon EOS 40D
Canon EF 24-108mm f/4L IS USM
The Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM is the standard kit lens that gets bundle along 5D. It is a superb piece of glass I have to say. The awesome bokeh as seen from the above picture goes to show the quality of this lens. One of the reason that for purchasing this lens is the fact that I already have a 10-22mm. The range at 24-105 gives me a very good range coverage. And of course, it is an L lens.
Throughout my 9 days in Taipei, there were several days whereby the weather was erratic, sunshine now and rainy the the next. Both my 40D and 24-105 were under the rain for a moment or two as a result. Up till now, I have not encounter any issue. Guess the body and lens stood up to Canon's claim of weatherproof.
