China

China is a vast and diverse country that offers a plethora of stunning photography locations. From the bustling cities of Beijing and Shanghai to the serene landscapes of Guilin and Zhangjiajie, China has something for every type of photographer. The Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Warriors are just a few of the iconic landmarks that attract photographers from all over the world. The country's natural beauty is equally impressive, with the Yellow Mountains, Jiuzhaigou National Park, and the Li River providing breathtaking backdrops for landscape photography.

The "Little" House On The Hill
Hong Kong from Victoria Peak
by Daniel Cheong

Greetings from Hong Kong, where I am revisiting this place with my D800. The last time I was there was in 2007, I was a rookie on flickr and had a Sony A100 :)

I was truly lucky to land in Hong Kong today with an exceptionally clear weather, which urged me to rush to Victoria Peak as soon as I unpacked my luggage.

This shot was processed on my slow laptop, but somehow it managed to handle the digital blending of the 5 D800 raw files.

I wish you could also see the full size 36 Mpix photo! :)

The Gate of Divine Might,Forbidden City 故宫神武门
The Gate of Divine Might,Forbidden City 故宫神武门
by Yi Jiang

The Gate of Divine Might or Gate of Divine Prowess is the northern gate of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China.

神武门是故宫的后门,这是一个承载了很多中国历史的地方。明朝末代皇帝崇祯就是从这里逃离皇宫,在对面的景山上,自缢身亡的。清朝末代皇帝溥仪,则是从这里被冯玉祥将军赶出故宫,从而终结了他小朝廷的生活。

Corner Tower of the Forbidden City  故宫角楼
Corner Tower of the Forbidden City 故宫角楼
by Yi Jiang

角楼则是故宫建筑群极具特点的建筑,坐落在故宫的四个城角之处。故宫角楼下就是故宫护城河,河中的倒影与角楼交相呼应,成为一道靓丽的风景线。

Corner towers on the four coigns of lofty walls of the Forbidden City were established in 1420, rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). As one part of the Forbidden City, they served as the defense facility just as the lofty walls, the gate towers and the moat. The corner towers rest on the base with Buddist-style building surrounded with stone columns.

During my whole stay in Hong Kong, I was extremely lucky to get a clear and haze free sky every night, as well as lovely moving clouds, a true "Long Exposure Heaven"!
