I live in Hualien, but we like going to the Kenting area a few times each year and I always manage to get in a few rides. If you are looking for a riding partner next time you are in Kenting, let me know. Maybe Andrew, Joyce, you and I can do a ride.<br />Great photos too!<br /><br />Michael...email is: baimantou@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-26855509872507427642010-10-10T01:57:11.024+08:002010-10-10T01:57:11.024+08:00Michael - this is a terrific entry.

The whole scene glowed red and gold from the setting sun piercing under clouds.<br /><br />That sturdy Fuji comes with a jewel of a lens.

Instead the auto metering system does all the work, it is set to multi. I simply vary the center of the picture slightly to get the light effect that I want. Although 90% of the time I get an even better scenery shot than I intended.<br /><br />MichaelMichael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-49861817154113852082010-10-04T08:29:31.060+08:002010-10-04T08:29:31.060+08:00Looking at your gorgeous photos, I was reminded of...Looking at your gorgeous photos, I was reminded of Craig Ferguson's comment a few months back. He pointed out that your pictures were underexposed. <br /><br />And although I agreed with him, I was too lazy to chime in on your side and comment that it was intended.<br /><br />Underexposing by 2 thirds of a stop to a full stop on a sunny day makes for those breathtakingly deep blue skies, crisp greenery and sharp edges.<br /><br />You got the tricks of the trade, Midhael. Keep awing us with your lovely bike-ride-photologs across the Formosan ladscapes.
