A young Taiwanese couple watch the sun set behind Mt Guanyin, Taipei, Taiwan.
We’re in the middle of the coldest spell of winter so far here in Taipei. Low temperatures, high humidity, gray skies and days of rain. Not exactly my favorite weather conditions. I’m definitely a summer person and I really wish it would come back. Still, I’ve arranged some talent and found a couple of assistants for some personal work over the weekend that winter is tailor-made for so it’s not all bad.
I shot these at the end of last summer. Nothing special to them at all – camera on a tripod and a 3 stop soft graduated neutral density filter used. The location was a new one to me though. I’d often seen it from below but had never made the time to trek up to the viewpoint. I’m glad I did and there are plenty more trails to walk in the immediate vicinity of this spot that I’ll be headign back to as soon as the weather cooperates. Here’s a few more photographs from the same day.
