| WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13 - Kaohsiung. Uncle's rooftop before departure on a group bus tour. Nikon N70, Ilford XP2 Super. |
 |
| Unknown locations on the drive from Kaohsiung to the east coast. |
 |
| 1:45 p.m. - unknown location |
 |
| Sanxiantai 三仙台 and its famous arch bridge. |
 |
| 2:55-3:09 p.m. - Boardwalk to and through Sanxiantai volcanic rock formation. |
 |
| 3:20-3:33 p.m. - arch bridge. |
 |
| 3:39-3:40 p.m. - Frankenphoto. The foreground is 3:39, the sky is 3:40; two shots edited into one image using GIMP. This may be commonplace and hardly worthy of mentioning, but I consider it cheating and wouldn't post it without owning up: this may be an accurate portrayal of what the scene looked like (and visually appealing, I rejected either photo as unworthy of posting separately), but it's not an accurate portrayal of what my camera can capture in one exposure due to my skill. Otherwise, the only editing I do is brightness, contrast, removing dust specks and other aberrations on black & white negatives, and rotating to correct for one of my legs being shorter than the other. |
