Guangzhou IR

Some snapshots to share from Guangzhou and the surrounding towns. I'll try to remember the names of the places and update.
Appreciate comments. I think my trademark is still there

#1



#2



#3 This pagoda has been there for more than 2000yrs and has not been repainted. Was told that it was originally painted with a special mixture of paint and silver powder. Never needs repainting.

Nice series... now I see both mixture with blue sky and duo-tone pictures.... So many white trees. Haha

My few cents... Duo-tone shots are slightly over... The blue sky series' exposure are ok, but I like the all of them.

BTW, time to clean your CCD liao.

Cheers!

Thks Bobby. Seems to easily get over exposure with the FE. The duo-tone ones are over due to the gaussian blur applied to simulate glow on the foliage.

Ark was supposed to clean my CCD when we were in Cameron. Forgot all about it.

HaHa, like I said my trademark lor. Don't seem to be able to get rid of that dirty habit.

I like the scene for #7 also. Too bad the boatman keep turning away from me, he doesn't want to be shot.

Thks for looking.

Ohhh PLEASE DUN DO THAT!!!!!

I like #7. composition wise is NAB! you might have lost the effect if he was looking at your direction. the rounded cap is better.

Duo tone is nice. like what bobby say, some slightly over.

Ya, the blown highlights bad for details.

How's this re-do, highlights reduced to bring in details. Especially the leaves.

Hi lee,
New pp #11 shot look better...much real.
The pole really cut through that main subject...what a pity
Look like you are traveling almost every few months..

Thanks for your opinion Stan, guess I should not add too much glow into the pics.
Can't help that pole, if I move forward will not be able to get the boat at the bottom right. moving back the pole will still be there. I felt that the pic would look better with the boat at the bottom right.

I guess you can say that. One of the hundreds perhaps thousands throughout China.

So many more to visit.

Subject matter on #7 works for me. Personally, i'd try to get a wider shot or to do a pano if the scenery allows.

Nice series.
