Mist over the West Lake
The Photo Album, Mist over the West Lake, has been just released at my website EggheadLabs.com.
I had enjoyed a couple of trips to Hangzhou, China, during the spring time in 2008. As planned, I did bring my DSLR with me but end up I only took a few shots with average scenes, while competing the shooting opportunities with the crowd tourists who were in front of your camera all the time.
It was in one particular rainy day I’d finally found what I was looking for in QuYuanFengHe (曲院风荷). The reason was simple, the tourist groups were absent due to the rain, which created a great opportunity for me to capture the misty scenes which would have been blocked by the crowd in any normal day. Unfortunately, I suddenly realized that I did not bring my DSLR with me, while only having my Cybershot in my pocket.
Hey, nothing to be complained. I then wasted no time and shot as many as possible. Certain shots did perfectly match the obsessive complex that I have been carried inside of me for decades towards my hometown.
