Ilha Formosa - The Beautiful Isle

[Blackgoddess]

Hi folks,
Would like to share some humble IR shots taken in Taiwan last month. Just a super beautiful place and manage to shoot some shots in between typhoon & rainy weather. Hope it does justice to this island. Starting off with :

#1 - Xi Men Ding

#2 - The famous landmark in Xi Men Ding, The Red Pavillion

#3 - Long Shan Temple. A nice looking busy & crowded temple.

#4 - Long Shan Temple Inner Courtyard

#5 - Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Area. I like this Big Gateway.

MOre to come...

#6 - Color shot of the CKS Memorial

#7 - Which is a better one? This B&W IR or the previous colored one?

#8 - Anyhow Colored Pano of the CKS Memorial area

#9 - Another colored pano of the CKS Memorial area

#10 - Another anyhow colored shot of Taipei 101 from the Sun Yat Sen Memorial. I was testing a very weird Tint / Color temp in RAW before i processed it.

OK...that's all for the moment. Tons of shots to choose & process....imagine i took 1 month to come up with 10 shots....SIgh....must push myself to complete processing both IR & colored shots. MOre to come soon!

Hey Blackgoddess, it's the first time I see the memorial in this light.
Lovely IR-ed sky, and the expansive feel.
Good to see you up and going around with your IR machine!
