Calm down dear.
:p

Hey, I'm not British. I don't need to cultivate a false air of reserve.:)

Due to the scale of mountains (ie: bloody enormous) it's really hard to get any real impression of size, this is one of the few photo's I've ever seen which manage it. :cool:
 


Took this while messing around with long exposures on the way home from work tonight. I'm thinking it might look better if it was cropped a bit tighter with that bit in the top left and some of the right removed though.
 
been trying something different from the normal "faces that tell a story to me" thing. Please do criticise, I'd appreciate it.

here are some I took yesterday.

and a wider perspective:

now you have the idea (which i stole from one of the 3 most brilliant photographers on flickr and will never be able to do as well as she does), here is another:

Then, being naughty

This ones a beauty johey- aesthetically it's fantastically framed but there are so many messages that can be read from the imagery as well. A youthful China, a China spreading it's wings, or a naiive China pouncing on beauty.
Oh, yeah, and the white bird, a creature that has remained a historic, artistic, religious symbol of freedom, *hint-hint.* -just perfect my friend!


((posting your photo in the thread: when typing a reply, click on the 'go advanced' button, below the white type box, and you will see a menu appear. The little pic of the mountain lets you insert photos from other websites using their URL address. It took me a while to get that sorted as well! Keep up the awesome captures, they're bloody great.))

Thanks for all that, indeed. From what you saw in the photo, it seems like I have had a wee bit of success in bringing across the message. Been trying as of late to provide people beyond the Bamboo Curtain with a better idea of the real and modern China and esp her people - a country and a people Mau and I have obviously come to adore. It's pretty difficult to convince others, but I can assure you that this is real life here: normal, everyday people doing their own thing.

And, hint-hint back, I went to the park with Nov's theme in mind.

Good man. Looking forwards to your entires as usual then :D!

A decisive moment it may be, but i'm a firm believer in these real life photos showing normal, everyday people doing their own thing also being capable of showing so much more about a culture, concept, creed or emotion. If you want it to of course...

It looks like it's sinking into the ground.
Yeah, the ground should be sloped so the building is straight. I quite like the effect though.

Here's another shot from tonight's walk home.

Wow. That's the dog's knackers neon.
 
The 85mm lens I was using does seem to pull out the blues, but they change colour all the time - sometimes they're grey, sometimes, green, blue or even a deep indigo on occasion.

I think the shallow depth of field (they were all at f/2) with the focus on his eyes accentuates it, though.
