This was taken on an overcast day. No good sunset to use but the water reflection creates a lovely pattern.

I have been busy in the past fortnight. I will be very busy until next Sunday going overseas. Trying to clean up my referrals before leaving the country.

The water was actually clean in contrast to my childhood memory.
Tamsui Old Street is divided into the inner and outer side. The outer street is the golden anchor walkway of Tamsui river coast, while the inner side is a traditional old street lined with bustling shops. There are faithfully traditional pastry shops, groceries and stores selling trendy outfits and toys. The popular foods in the area include A Gei, fish ball, fried fish crackers, traditionally baked cake, Granny’s iron eggs, etc. are all must try goodies. In the evening, the beautiful scenery of the sun setting below the ocean horizon can be seen along the golden anchor walkway.

The sea shelf exposed in the low tide often gave a photography interest for long exposure pleasure.

Yesterday I had a yum cha lunch with Leonid who visited Australia from US this year. We caught up and chatted for hours. He was trying to get me to work in US while I was trying to lure him back to Australia.

GAS - gear acquisition syndrome is something Joel and I have suffered for many decades. We are now debating whether we should acquire a digital medium format system again. I guess that is how we socialise by talking about what we gonna spend money next on.
Australian Open live broadcast is way better this year. After work, I just lie on couch watching it on TV. So not going out much

I come across this on you tube. Love the scenery there!
I was here for a long exposure expedition. It turns out a quick snap works out better just needing a better timing on the wave.

Normally this coast is looking bleak and grey. Finally a moment of blessing.

Squatting in this beach where 22 children were massacred was not really a good feeling.

It supposed to be a stormy weekend. On Saturday morning, there was a 2-hour cloud break among the thick cumulus clouds.
I rushed through the routine and driving to a few locations in a hurry. Finally managed to get a few shots both in drones and camera.
Forecast is telling me another week of storms...

Last weekend was really good that Joel and I got the shots we wanted.

From one of the hiking trips with Joel in the past. This area is now always packed with tourists. White supremist group also frequent this area a lot. I haven't returned since pandemic. The area tends to cause a glare issue to any wide angle lens. The dynamic range requirement is very high for this frame which is what everyone wants to take a snap on. I will need to bring the new equipment to this place again.

This place is really nice for nature therapy.

No long exposure here. Just a quick snap that gives a totally different feel from the frame.
I am preparing this post as I had 2 failed to show attendances in my clinic this morning.

I lost my 50mm f1.2 . I bought the lens again for its special rendition it has.

This is a waterfall easy to get to. Easy to snap this from the viewing platform. Hard to access to the base of the waterfall though. The tracks going to the base of the waterfall has been shut since 2012. Still plenty of people trespassed the barrier to do so.

Linking Water H2O Thursday - for any photos to do with water
I realise I love photographing water and street candids. Street candids is an acquired taste due to my association with a former world class street photographer when I was in university years. Water photography on the other hand is a pattern I notice in my portfolio as well.

P.S. I finally received my camera after infra-red filter conversion. After 8 weeks! I will be testing the n520 wavelength filter in street photography tomorrow. Can't wait!
That is a shot I took when I was waiting for Joel to finish his shots. He always takes forever on the prime spot. So I took out my zoom searching for second best views to snap.

I did not wait until the sunset for this shot. The rock is called elephant rock which does not look like it from this angle.
