Camera: BelOMO Vilia
Film: Kodak Portra 400VC

Subject: A Poster Sign @ the Airport Terminal (T1)
Environment: Indoor, Fluorescent lighting
Shutter: 30
Aperture: f/4
Focus: Infinite

[ Why I did it ]
The tagline of the poster was catchy. So why not?

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Areas where daylight came through the windows were "glaring"... However, it didn't affect the overall scene. The tagline, "I can see the Future", really sticks out...

Subject: Back Alley (from my hotel room)
Environment: Outdoor, Sunny
Shutter: 250
Aperture: f/4
Focus: Infinite

[ Why I did it ]
Got up early in the morning, looked out and decided to capture the moment...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Forgot all about condensation... :P Cold, warm, you know the rest... The moment this photo was taken was when there was condensation on the filter... This would explain the foggy/dreamy look... Nice effect though... :)

Subject: Group of Waiting Photographers
Environment: Outdoor, Sunny
Shutter: 250
Aperture: f/5.6
Focus: Infinite

[ Why I did it ]
This group of photographers caught our attention while I was visiting Yangmingshan National Park (陽明山國家公園). They were waiting to get a snapshot of a green bird (didn't really recall its name).

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Picture sharpness really drops at the photo edges. This photo does provoke thought, a group of people waiting--waiting...

[ Why I did it ]
The surrounding mountains was a sight to behold...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
The scene is captured, however, the "feel" of the moment is missing... Would have to try some more...

[ Why I did it ]
This was one of my stops at Yangmingshan, Lengshuikeng (冷水坑地區).

[ Photo :: Thought ]
The shot and the next are about the same location but with different apertures. This shot came out warm. Wonder what the other would look like?

This is the same scene as before but with a smaller aperture.

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Somehow, this photo is bluish compared to the previous photo... Why? Something to ponder...

This is the famed attraction at Lengshuikeng (冷水坑地區), the Milk Lake (牛奶湖).

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Looks "milky"... :P Wonder if it's good for the skin , if I were to soak in it?

[ Why I did it ]
More of Lengshuikeng's (冷水坑地區) mountainous greenery... At the bottom right, you can see a suspension bridge, which we would be having a closer look later...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Aperture 16 does produce a bluer photo... Would need to experiment with more films...

Here's one end of the bridge that I was talking about in the previous photo...

Camera: BelOMO Vilia
Film: Kodak Portra 400VC

Subject: Multi-exposure of Landscapes and Geothermal Valley (地熱谷), also called Hell Valley
Environment: Outdoor, Sunny
Shutter: 250 / 250
Aperture: f/16 / f/5.6
Focus: Inifinte / 4m

[ Why I did it ]
This is where things get messy when the film refuses to advance... Multi-exposure was achieved by rewinding the film a few rounds and re-shooting the next scene...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Doing multi-exposures this way is risky as you would not know where to stop. This might result in a scene overlapping 2 other previous scenes...

Environment: Outdoor, Sunny
Shutter: 250 / 250
Aperture: f/8 / f/8
Focus: 8m / 8m

[ Why I did it ]
Another messy result... Could I have damaged the advancing mechanism in the previous use?

[ Photo :: Thought ]
This multi-exposed scene looks much more presentable than the previous one... *Joy*
