Visiting Taiwan durin spring meant that it is a period whereby flowers are blooming at it's peak.
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.

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.
