Here’s something a little different.  The same subject shot from a slightly different angle against two completely different backdrops.  The first photo is shot against the pale sky and I used the dark forest as a dark backdrop for the second photo.  Two completely different effects and a completely different look for each.  My personal [...]

Danshui’s Fisherman’s Wharf is usually teeming with people. In fact, it’s very rare to find a place to be alone if you’re not in the comfort of your own home. I’m sure you can imagine my surprise at seeing an entire area of space completely void of humans on a busy Sunday afternoon. I just [...]
