Some jetlagged shots from Taipei

[thereyougo!]

Arrived in Taiwan last night and to try and halt the early sleepiness, as the sun set , I grabbed my camera and took a few shots as the sun set through my hotel room window on the 18th floor. In doing so I learned the lesson of making sure battery is fully charged before doing long exposure on bulb. 2nd one one I have used LR3 to recover 1 stop of light from darkness

I'd have a go at pulling the magenta back, especially on the first shot. The guy wire in the lower right corner is a bit of a bummer, innit?

Hope you have a good trip and shoot a bunch.

Three toy poodles on a trip on the bike - the girl had spent ages trying to get them into the basket - when she got the last one in, the other two were jumping out quiet cute and funny at the same time
