Daily photos - part V

DM - great shots. My favorite is either the umbrellas or the tombstones. Great color and texture.

Poagao - always good to see your work. Love the banners.

It’s winter … too wet and windy outside to do some bug photography … and tried to make some nice money macro shots … played with PS a bit and turned the pics into somewhat artsy pics

First I made this one … than started thinking …

… and made this one … a composition

I was thinking about making them into posters …

BP - the last one would look great as a poster. The 2nd face has some very spooky eyes.

Thank you, that’s me … :s

The weather was nice today, at least this morning and part of the afternoon … so, went out to snap a few lizards …

And this bug that can skate on a spider web … weird …

One more lizard …

Went to Banchiao today, beautiful blue sky … some wind, but nice temperature …

And made pics of the Taipei county government building … B/W

Too bad - you should have stayed in SanXia yesterday where all the action was. There was a big fire in Old Town:

They even evacuated the hospital and put the patients out infront of Wellcome:

Nice pics … well I missed that one … what went on fire? Anyway, wrong part of town, almost never go there … not even McD …

BTW, what were you doing here, you don’t live here anymore, do you?

Thanks BP.

Itb was a small car workshop which looked like it specialised in mini coopers. There was an Austin something or other recently imported from the UK outside the shop, which was over 25 years old.
Although the workshop was small, the high-rise apartment blocks surrounding the workshop caught fire.

It was pretty close to McDonalds. Infact, at the small bridge where you filmed that short movie were fire engines. The whole place was crawling with them.

No, not any more. I was just passing through on the way to somewhere else and happened upon the fire.

Nice photos, everyone. Here’s one I took a while back at the pond near my office (Orange County, CA). I blew the exposure and the focus is a bit soft, but it’s still my favorite shot to date.

And one more from the same pond.

Some more from the Taipei county government office in Banchiao …

More TCGO …

Played around with PS plug-in alien skin …

The original

Altered in alien skin …

Some more of the TCGO …

Taichung gets groooovy baby.

Where in Taichung is that? great colors … and pics

Mine aren’t as good or as arty as yours (all beautiful pics btw), but here are a few shots of Taidong from a recent weekend trip.

A garden in an Aboriginal theme village.

Two others of a very picturesque port in Taidong. This part of the coast reminds me of False Bay in South Africa. Wouldn’t mind retiring here…

All my photo’s are taken with a little Olympus u300. I have plans to buy a better camera, but I think I need to improve my photographic skills a little more before I lay out that kind of cash.
