📷 One Of Taiwan's Most Beautiful Beaches - Laomei 老梅綠石槽

in photography •  8 years ago 

Hello Steemians, today I would like to introduce to you one of the natural wonders of Taiwan's northern coast, Laomei. This place is most famous for its seaweed-covered stone troughs, which only lasts for a few months each year. The best time to visit is in the winter to spring months, when the rocks are covered in a sea of green. Visits during summer months will not be as pretty!

大家好,今天我想來跟各位介紹臺灣北部海岸地區的一個絕佳景點 - 老梅綠石槽。這裏最有名的特色就是季節性限定、長滿海藻、形狀特殊的石槽。想看到一整片的綠海藻必須要選對季節來哦,大概是冬天至春天的時候最茂盛。夏天來就準備看光禿禿的石頭咯。

Here's a link to Google Map of the location of the Laomei green stones.

以下是老梅綠石槽的地點。

I took these shots using a 10 stop neutral density filter, which let me create these long exposures during sunrise. The exposure time is around two minutes.

爲了到達長時間曝光的效果,我用了10格減光鏡來拍攝。曝光時間約兩分鐘。

Besides the stone troughs, there is a scenic trail along the coast that leads to a lighthouse.

來這除了看石槽還可以順便沿著海岸步道走走,可以走到一個燈塔。

This lighthouse is the northern-most lighthouse in Taiwan! From here you can watch the sunset.

這座燈塔也是台灣最北端的燈塔,從這可以觀賞夕陽。


Equipment Used

  • Camera: Sony A7
  • Lens: Zeiss 16-35mm f/4
  • Filter: B+W 10 Stop ND
  • Software: Lightroom

Beautiful indeed! Those photos look surreal. Please check out my blog and follow if you like what you see!

Thank you @nicolicreer, I'll check it out!

Beautiful is not even the word to use for that beach... More like OUT OF THIS WORLD, those first couple of images of the beach with the moos and the rocks are incredible! It amazes me how many beautiful places there are in the world, and we only get to see a fraction of them. :(. I never knew about this amazing place up until now, so thank you for sharing these with us!

Thank you so much for viewing and making this wonderful comment Patrick! The world is full of beautiful places and its hard for most of us to visit them all, my job is to share with the world the beauty of my country :)

And you surely are doing an outstanding job at sharing the beauty of your country! I'll be sure to check in and see your new posts that you will be making! Thanks again.

nature is so beautiful!

It sure is!

Looks very beautiful with colored moss going green

Reminds me more of some planet in a sci-fi movie

Hehehe I know right?

Nature's work is the most beautiful, my job is to share with you guys. Thank you @yetaras!

Wonderful words! Agree with this by 100%

=)

place is beautiful - it's obvious. But those photos! amazing!!! and I have a question - do you use that camera from last circular photo too ?

Thank you @tropical-life! I don't quite understand your question though.

the photo attached to the " Follow for more content like this " - is a modern analog camera - do you use it or is a just signature picture

Oh that, it is one of my film cameras, I don't use it as much nowadays.

Top notch photos, @shieha. Upvoted, resteemed & DPS.

Please state clearly how would you like to be featured in the “Daily Photo Selection”: with a linked photo, or with link only without a photo. We are making a list of photographers who are ready to improve the visibility of their work through the DPS. Thank you.

Thanks, linked photo is fine.

Very beautiful and beautiful natural occurrences, this time I can see the natural phenomena on the fringe of taiwan sea
@shieha

Thank you @iqbal05 for the comments!

You are welcome @shieha
I want to see for myself the natural phenomenon, but it takes a long time. Follow me and blog

Looks a bit like Kenting, nice place!

Thank you!

好图!准备买个广角拍风景。Zeiss有15mm和18mm。对于全幅相机哪个焦距拍风景更好?谢谢

謝謝!
15mm很廣哦,會比較難拍。18mm雖然也挺廣但是應該會比較好拍。

多谢回复。我有个24-105现在想买个广角。没用过24mm以下完全没有经验。没想到15和18之差3mm还有这么多区别

24/18 = 1.33倍
24/15 = 1.6 倍
18/15 = 1.2 倍

如果你已經有24-105,那可以考慮15mm, 這樣跟24mm差距較大

多谢多谢

Very unique! :)

Thank you Tara!

wow that is beautiful. I hope next my wife and I visit Taiwan that we will have more time to do some site seeing. We went this year April but we were so busy with sorting things out that we never really had time to do a lot of fun stuff or go to see places.

Thank you @klyngiant! Yes hope you visit Taiwan again, we welcome you :)

Wow.. the first three photos are just amazing!!

Thank you very much @bluedomain!

These photos are beautiful, I'll be visiting Taiwan soon. Although it will be in September, maybe I'll have to try to check this place out on my visit out.

Thank you @dzboston33, that's awesome!

Well done, nice post!

Thank you @andrea985!

是啊,臺灣真美~~

Thank you @othmanesl! I'll check it out.

no problem :)

Gorgeous, love the one with the round rocks and green. Looks like a very fun place to wander and shoot within. Thanks.

Thank you so much @ddschteinn! It is a great place for finding shots :)

I must go here. I usually like to post beach reviews from all over the world so I want to see this place because I have not yet been to there.

You should if you get the chance!

Nice post
Followed , Upvoted

Thank you @ahmedezzat!

You're welcome
Can you check out my blog ?

Awesome pics and editing, I would love to visit this place, with work I sometimes go to Taipei, what is the easiest connection to arrive here?

Thank you so much @robertolopez! I usually drive there but you can take public transportation to get there, just use the map I provided in the post and use Google to get directions :)

This is awesome beach. What's this green? Grass or something else? Laomei is very beautiful place to visit :) wonderful photos

Thank you @pepe.maya! The green is a result of the seaweed that grows on the rocks, which only grows during certain months of the year!

WOW. It looks very nice. What nature is wonderful

Nature never ceases to amaze and inspire :) Thank you for viewing @shady!

Yes, i am agree with you. You welcome.

No way so beautiful ;) maybe i have to go here this summer;)

If you want to see the stones covered in green seaweed, you have to come during March to April :)

Yeah! that is what I am talking about. Beautiful artistic images @shieha!

Thank you so much for the kind words Rudy!

Awesome stuff. Keep it up.
