ENTRY DESCRIPTION
It was dark and windy in the dawn. I can barely see anything but I still decided to take a stroll as it was the last day of the trip to Huangshan. Wandering in the unpredictable mist of the mountain, it slowly unveiled its poetic outline of the spectacular pine trees on peculiarly-shaped granite peaks. Suddenly, the blustery wind blew wildly across the landscape. Within the blink of an eye, the scenery was being captured in the white canvas of the mist.

The uniqueness of the scene is that it recalls the traditional Chinese landscape painting, which is regarded as the highest form of art work. Inspired by painters employing the powerful black lines, sharp and dotted brushstrokes to represent the significant rough rocks on Huangshan, a method of black and white inversion is used to capture the picturesque landscape. Mist is used as the paint and canvas simultaneously to veil the mountain and frame the ever-changing scene. An interesting dialogue between the black and white is the aim that the photo wants to achieve.
