On my way up to the peak, I walked by a bridge and I thought that I would check out what is underneath. I like exploring places where I am not supposed to go, and I enjoy finding abstract forms in the trash.
Photographing trash—aka my “deadyard” series—is important to me. I do that as a reaction upon seeing photographs of beautiful people and beautiful objects which are themselves not beautiful. By choosing a subject that is intrinsically ugly, I attempt to force the viewer to react to the composition alone. If you remove the subject matter you simply see images as lines and space things will be more readily appreciated.
This capture contains a diversity of forms which contrast each other as if they are having a dialog with each other. That is interesting to me, but I am not “normal” and as such I can never predict how “normal people” will react to the things which I like.

“野水孤舟”
# SML Translate
+ 野: wild, plain, open space
+ 水: water, liquid, river, aquatic
+ 孤: solitary, alone, isolated
+ 舟: boat, small ship
野水孤舟 (Yěshuǐ gū zhōu) [1] is a poem by poet 梁棟創 (Liáng dòng chuàng) in 宋朝 (Song Dynasty) [2]
前村雨過溪流亂，行路迷漫都間斷。
孤洲盡日少人來，小舟系在垂楊岸。
主人空有濟川心，坐見門前水日深。
袖手歸來茅屋下，任他鷗鳥自浮沈。
# Notes
1. Baike: 野水孤舟:《野水孤舟》是宋朝梁棟創作的一首七言律詩。有國畫題識：野水無人渡，孤舟盡日橫。 baike.baidu.com/view/5662435.htm
2. Wikipedia: ZH-HK: 宋朝（960年—1279年）是中國歷史上的一個朝代，根據首都及疆域的變遷，可再分為北宋與南宋，合稱兩宋。因國君姓趙，又為區別於南北朝時期之南朝宋（劉宋），故亦稱「趙宋」。又因五德終始說，宋朝為火德，故又別稱「火宋」、「炎宋」。宋時北方政權契丹和西夏以宋朝位處其南方，稱其為「南朝」；西夏又因宋朝位於其東南，特稱其為「東朝」。 zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/宋朝
2. Wikipedia: EN: Song Dynasty: The Song Dynasty (Chinese: 宋朝; pinyin: Sòng Cháo; Wade-Giles: Sung Ch'ao; IPA: [sʊ̂ŋ tʂʰɑ̌ʊ̯]) was a ruling dynasty in China between 960 and 1279; it succeeded the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period, and was followed by the Yuan Dynasty. It was the first government in world history to nationally issue banknotes or true paper money, and the first Chinese government to establish a permanent standing navy. This dynasty also saw the first known use of gunpowder, as well as first discernment of true north using a compass. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_Dynasty

Two white seagulls fly in pairs across the sea in a quiet afternoon. The first thing I thought of is how much it looks like the X-wing [1] from Star Wars.
We are often amazed by the imaginations of the artists in sci-fi movies, but if we look closely in the world around us, we would see that inspirations are in fact everywhere.
# Notes
1. X-wings are fictional starfighters from the original Star Wars trilogy and the expanded universe. They are depicted as the primary interceptor and dogfighter of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. The craft has been merchandised as a variety of toys and models and licensed for use in games, novels and comics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-wing

So after more research it appears that these are not a seagulls but in fact Asian Waterbirds. Apparently, they are under WWF protection and is a rare species—but I see them all the time outside the window.
Also noted: I definitely need a longer lens. But it is good because I never really got to use my 70-200 til I moved back to Hong Kong.
Some captures are impossible to process inside Lightroom, so this was done in Photoshop.

The ever changing water photographed at the ground level as well as from the 27th floor vantage point of SML Universe HKG using the 70-200 f/4L + 1.4x Extender zoomed to the max (280mm). I think that I need a longer lens, and am shopping for one.
There was some color oddity added to the mix when YouTube / Flickr / Vimeo re-encoded my video so hereby reissue as black and white as well as tweaked with curves. Which is a whole lot better now, I think.

Some dynamic ranges could not be captured with multiple exposures, because the reality covers so little bits that even when expanded you can only fetch so much.

Neko Harbour is a notable inlet located on the eastern shore of Andvord Bay, off the coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by Belgian explorer Adrien de Gerlache during his 1897-1899 expedition and named after the Norwegian whaling ship, Neko, which operated in the area between 1911 and 1924.

Because macro photography is at very short distance, the depth of field of is also very short. If you open the aperture in its maximum (pictured, at f/2.8), you will realize that you can pinpoint at very fine location. The stamens of a stargazer lily is very tiny already, but here you can see that I am still able to have bokeh even on its tip.
Forget about AF points—especially on the 6D where there is only 6. Do it manually. When you do everything manual it is a lot of fun. Obviously a tripod is required. Here the MT-24EX twilight is used on two light stands to give it an even cross-light effect. And as I have learned the hard way, always use a cable release because every bit of vibration will show, just like the telephoto shots. You really have to minimize the vibration. Use mirror locking if necessary though I did not for this one.
The bokeh from the 100 f/2.8 Macro is one of the best I have seen available in the market—and it is not even an L lens. It is one of my favorite primes available on the Canon camp.

What I learned last night while doing this 30-second long exposure is that the moon moves fairly quickly. I actually also had a 2-minute shot, and while the landscape lies still the moon moves so far away that it looked like a mistake.
In photography, there is an almost cardinal rule that you do not place subjects in the center. But rules are meant to be broken, and I think that the moon works best when placed dead center for this particular scene.

At the garden surrounding the shrine, the pink blossoms contrast well with the green rooftops accented with red stripes and yellow dots. I am unsure which floral variety this is, but since the National Flower of Taiwan is the plum blossom (梅花), it would be my best guess.
Photographed with the Canon EOS 7D + Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM. Processed in Lightroom 5.

Did you know that hairy things grow on the petals of lilies? I did not. I always thought that they were just textures on the petals, but it seems that they are like pores on the human skin.
The joy of macro photography is similar to that of super telephoto range—it allows me to see things beyond which my eyes can normally reach.
I photograph this for its almost abstract formation through the bokeh. As magnification goes up, the landscape starts to shift. I can see why some photographers on Flickr are fixated on the craft of macro, as there lies pure beauty surrounding us waiting to be explored—when we are willing.

Fruits are nothing special, right? Except the fruits found at the market in Taipei just look so juicy, and they are so vibrant under the bright light. I have never walked by the market where I felt the need to buy some fruits. But here I did. I bought some “Taiwanese pineapple” which looks like a white version of dragon fruit and tasted like mango. I had no idea what it was really. All I knew was that it was oh so yummy.

Color tends to distract. This composition also makes it more evident that I am interested in forms mainly. But flight attendants don't seem to care. They just think that I'm moving my iphone way up close to the teapots trying to find “faults” — which is rather annoying at times. SML is currently researching “new” hacks to photograph without anyone noticing — not really to photograph things illegally but just in order to “not scare the crowd” when doing street photography.
Born Ralf Winkler in Dresden, Germany in 1939, A.R. Penck is the pseudonym for the artist, a name he used as he attempted to go under the radar to exhibit his artworks for the international audience while being actively pursued by the East Germany communist regime. His relationship with Galerie Michael Werner is significant, as it was this gallery where Penck would have his first public one-man show in 1969.
Penckâs paintings are known by its flat and pictographic imagery of human figures seen in Egyptian hieroglyphsâwhat the critics called âneo-primitivistââand other totemic forms. His early works suggest influence from Picasso, but having been turned down by academies in Dresden and East Berlin in his academic years, his work is different than those with more formal attitudes.
Besides art, Penck also has his love for jazz music. A keen drummer, he took every opportunity to play with the best jazz musicians of the late 1980s. His love for music has obvious influence, as his paintings also often feature lively improvisation of forms and compositions.
A.R. Penck lives and works in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Dublin and New York.
