    Default Transportation in Taipei



    I liked the black and white shot better than the coloured. The goal of this photo was to show all the different kinds of transportion methods in Taipei. In the photo you could see the Skytrain, scooters, cars, bus, bicycles, and people simply walking. What do you think about the composition of the photo? How could I improve it?

    I like this. ANd I think because it's about the various forms of transportation the B&W works well too.

    I wouldn't change the composition at all. I would, however, straighten it up a little ... the buildings shouldn't be leaning over Unless there was an earthquake going on when you took this??

    Hey Canthaiwan, I like the B&W too. The composition works for me, I like the way my eye follows the train around, and then focuses on the street below.

    I think MA is on the money, just straighten it up.

    I like this one. As has been said, the B&W works well but it needs straightening.

    In terms of the theme, I didn't realize that straight away. Probably because the Skytrain is stealing the show.
    It was only after reading the title and your description, that I did realize it, and then it worked for me.

    Cool. I am glad that you felt the Skytrain was stealing the show because in downtown Taipei I feel it is definitely one of the more popular modes of transportation. Even though, I wanted to illustrate the other kinds of transportations, I wanted to show the significance of the Skytrain! Thanks for your feedback, it is must appreciated.

    MA, you got me there. I didn't even realize the buildings were on a slight angle. Thanks.
