Taipei (2009) - Scooters - A Rain Shot

Still on scooters (see previous blog entry).

Scooters scooters everywhere. I think I've grown to love taking photographs when or after drizzle.

Unlike taking a shot in daylight which one could leverage on the shadows and its cast angles to create stunning image effects, rain on the other hand, creates a different opportunity. Instead of casting shadows, the water in the surrounding context casts reflections which could be very useful in photograhy.

This shot above, however, could not really demonstrate what I have just said, but you could see the reflections of the scooters on the bottom right of the image. This photo's focus is on the passing vehicles at the background. Thus creating a feel for movement while the scooters are in their stationary position.
