Day 2 - CingJing

Departed Taipei early in the morning and headed towards Puli and then Cing Jing. After arriving at Cing Jing late that afternoon, we visited a place called "Swiss Garden". There were quite a lot of blooms there, nice place for macros and close ups of flowers.

Still fairly new to DSLRs, and when night fell, I finally managed to test out my night shots and long exposures on my barely few weeks old 40D. Some rather satisfying outcomes, but still much to improve. Too bad the sky wasn't very starry that night, would've liked to try shooting stars also since our hostel was named "摘星", which meant picking stars out of the sky.... =)
