.Bashang Grassland 坝上草原 Reloaded

ZeroDivine · 23rd June 2007

I've been wanting to do this since last year, but only have time now. I realised the processing last time was not properly done with overly bright, unnatural saturated colours and inconsistent presentation. It's about time to redo the job. I have selected a few, reprocessed, compacted the whole 5 day series into this thread.

Just a little introduction. Bashang grassland is located at the border of Hebei and Inner Mongolia. It's only some 8 hrs drive from Beijing, which makes it a popular choice for retreat and photography.

The complete(old) series is here:
-Bashang day 1&2
-Bashang day 2 at GongZhu Lake
-Bashang day 3
-Bashang day 4
-Bashang day 5 at ChenTaoShan Lake

Nice scenery. However, I noticed rather pronounced vignetting in most of your shots.

ckc · 23rd June 2007

sweeper · 23rd June 2007

Bill9 · 23rd June 2007

Great series of images, zero.

ZeroDivine · 24th June 2007

Thanks alot net-g,Xevox, LOTUSfairy, David Chin, ckc, sweeper and Bill9 for the comments

. Appreciate them ^^

ckc/sweeper: like I mentioned in my older thread(bashang day 1 in reply to nuts), followed this group of Beijing photographers there by van. This is like one of their usual 'outings'

. If you guys are interested and happen to be around the area, check out for their forum at jiankou.net as and when they have the outing to this place again. I heard 1 year 4 times.

David Chin: thx for the input ^^ , the vignetting u saw was added on later in PS.

nicely done dude, hope to see more great photos where ever you go, really like your first flora landscape shot. It has a sort of dark mood to it, feels great.

keep up the good work!
