One shot, one opportunity
Thank you all my dear friends kindly comment and fave my photos!!!
I started to love shooting fotos since 2000 when I first came to New Zealand. I got an Olympus IS200 (film), it's an automatic camera, but has very good abilities to capture beautiful scenery here. I also got a Sony F707, my first digital camera. I learn how to use filters and start to love long exposure shots from F707.
I normally shoot fotos for sunset only. That's because I found hard to get up for sunrise shots, and even I finally wake up and drive to the locations I plan to, I still couldn't get the shots better than sunsets. And sunrise looks exactly like sunset shots, so what's the point anyway??
I ♥ Taiwan ^ ^
My equipments:
Sony DSC-R1 (2005)
Velbon Tripod
Sony remote controls
B+W CPL filter
Kenko ND8
some piece of black cards ^^
How about flickr? A friend told me about flickr about two years ago by showing her personal favorite list. I thought this function was quite interesting by add someone's photos to my pocket, I can learn how to composite by browsing someone's photos! That's why I join flickr. I then define flickr as an "online album" for my personal use only. Now I think flickr is one of the place for meeting people like shooting photos!
In March 2009, I have my first DSLR in life: Nikon D700 + 24-70 2.8ED, and here is the outcome of my first attempted sunset shot:
I haven't controlled this machine quite well yet, still not familiar with the focus and darker viewfinder, and most importantly, I now using ND64 to play with my black card so it's more darker and hard to composite if I fit it on. Anyway I'll continue my DSLR experiment and try to catch it up to my previous R1!!
By the way, New Zealand is one of the most beautiful country I ever been to. ( well, I only been to Taiwan and here anyway ) I hope you all enjoy my fotos, and thanks for reading my unpro-file. :D

Read lessOne of my favourite photographers on FLICKR and it's great that he's here operating in my home town. His seascape work and use of the "Black Card Technique" is simply brilliant.
Some of the best Landscape and Seascape images I have seen on Flickr. Not to mention other subjects captured inbetween.

Some of the best Landscape and Seascape images I have seen on Flickr. Not to mention other subjects captured inbetween. Having a passion for landscapes, nature, and just plain exploring myself, I find Anthonyko's photostream inspirational and instrumental towards my own work. I believe he has what is called, "The natural eye," for composition that some people just posess. I also believe that his work proves that patience and persistence are true elements to good photography, and not rooted in all the equipment one posesses. I will keep watching as his photos emerge, and hopefully keep growing myself along the way.
Read lessAnthony, is an incredibly talented photographer with an incredible eye for detail. his images are always carefully thought through and have the most amazing impact. he is a master at his art and has his exposure control perfected. I am lucky to have met him.. because he is a genuinely great guy as well!!!
