Lotus Lake Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

A cute little lake in Taiwan that attracts tourists because of the little pagodas and colorful statues surrounding it.

This is just a simple night shot. Minimal post processing (just some white balance adjusting, and channel mixer). I also added starbursts using brushes in PS to the three white lights because I hoped it would make them look a little more attractive

Very beautifully composed photo. I like how the bridge takes the viewer across the centre of the photo to the right and focuses on the pagoda at the end.

Beautiful colors, and good use of leading lines.

Very nice shot leslie. This bridge is very special with all this redlights. It would be pleasant to be there. Nice perspective and colors (not still easy by night).

hi leslie, another great low light shot here, the red lanterns really stand out against the darkening sky. good composition leading the eye to the pagoda. great work!

Very nice night shoot
Good control of exposure
The perspective builds a dynamic composition

Hi Leslie
Another beautiful evening shot. The perspective view is nicely captured.
But you needed to reduce the speed to disallow the bleeding of lights.
Well done, Leslie.
