A Return to the San-zhr Pod Village

Last May I blogged about the abandoned pod development in San-zhr on the north coast of Taiwan. It has proved to be one of the more popular posts on this site, so last week a friend and I headed out there for a photo shoot. The first time I was there, I stayed outside as the pods are decaying and a little unsafe. I was there alone, so I opted for a safety first approach. This time I ventured inside, as I had someone to rescue me if the need arose (it didn’t). All photos were shot on a Canon 40D with 17-40mm f4L and the interior shots also had a 420ex with softbox attached with an off-camera shoe cord, with the speedlight held above my left shoulder.

    Wow, this looks incredible. I can't believe this is sitting there and was never finished! The places looks pretty big and amazing. Too bad it never became a reality. Amazing shots, thanks so much for this second, closer look!
  • Thanks Patrick. It would have been a very cool development if it were ever finished.
  • Really great shots!!
  • Thanks.
