敲敲澳门的门 Part II

It was a sweet surprise when you went to a place which you didnt expect. We chanced upon a flower exhibition - actually more like a garden of tulips exhibition when we wanted to visit a photography exhibition in Taipa. It was drizzling and yet there were still many visitors. We felt like "trapping" in a sea of tulips. 

Honestly speaking, when it comes to flowers, I am always lost - I can recognise rose, sunflower, lilies and a few others only. Not that I dun buy flowers for dear, just that I got "poor floral recognition skills" always. I almost wanted to tell my dear that there was a rose exhibition :S.

After taking some couple shots in the garden, I wanted to do some big aperture shots on the tulips. 

Lonely Tulip

Focused on one with greenish background. Dear mentioned that it looked so lonely, and I kinda like agreed with her. So, I decided to try to take a bunch instead. Seemed that she could visualise the shots better this trip. And I really thought it was a gd idea. Maybe I was too focused on taking photos - forgot the importance of composition liao. Suddenly thot of waking up early in the morning and tried to catch the morning sunlight on all these tulips - it would be nice too =).

Tulips in group

It was really good to have dear with me. Besides our flexi tripod, we could help each other take posed shots - flexing our "photography muscles" to compose and shoot. Some were "cool" photos while others were "artistic photos". This garden of sweet surprise made me like Taipa even more. Must intro to friends when they visit Macau next time - dun always stuck in Macau itself - there are other things to explore as well.

I think in general, it was a switch in the view of our trip in Macau. We didnt expect to chance upon the garden and well, it really freshened our views and mind - kinda of immersed into the botany. The whole garden actually blended in with the environment - trees behind, a big lake with Hard Rock Hotel in sight, colonial buildings =). Very romantic feeling too.

Dear asked if we wanna go to the Hard Rock Hotel to check out the T-shirts. I tend to collect a typical localised T-shirt if available. But the Hotel seemed quite far and me also a bit lazy to try to hunt for the building. So, decided to give it a miss. Dun rem seeing any tees with Hard Rock Macau though :P. Next time bah. Next time when we go there again. Of cos, when we need not walk from a distance, and it is within 100 m. Knock knock Macau's door and see different perspectives of Macau it can offer...
