This was not a sharp shot by any means. It's not milky smooth.
But it was the most interesting one i got of the Taipei 101 and i like the idea.
Updated every Friday.

I'm sorry but this is a blurry shot. With a long pause shot, you need a tripod, or a support for your camera. But the colors are really interesting.

@Calusarus: i agree.. was really hesitating whether to give it a day on aminus3.. i took many shots that day and this was the only one i like, snapped the last minute b4 i had to leave (group tour). i must get a better shot of this building again one day! thanks for commenting!

@Howard F.: u really do love TW... i think it's ball-bearing mechanism is really cool.. do u like the shops within it, or just the building or the building's surrounding?

I really don't mind this shot being blurred - I'm troubled by the preconception that every shot must be technically perfect as knowing when to break rules are important - it's the message or feeling you get from viewing a photo that's important. The warm and cool colours of this photo, and the contrast of the tree with the huge building's brilliant. There's thousands of technically good photos of huge buildings, I always like seeing new unique ways of viewing things, this is a good example - don't hesitate in posting these kinds of photos, they may not always work (for me, this one does) but it's important to keep experimenting within the medium.

@Chris: yup.. i've actually got a tag: BILI which stands for "but i like it" - shots which arent technically perfect but yup, i like it.
i get what u mean. I see perfect, predictable photos but i'm not always impressed (thou sometimes, some photos do blow u away).. the interesting ones with unusual ideas behind them catch my attention.
i think being technically good will give the idea it's due impact.
Thanks for the comment! really appreciate it. am encouraged ^__^ will hesistant even less now in putting up shot tt arent perfect. afterall it's my blog.
