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! :)

'L' for the Large view!

The famous Beijing Olympic Stadium, I was lucky to get a clear blue hour that day (Beijing being quite famous for hazy skies).

At last some free time to visit your streams, I've been quite busy the past weeks. Wish you a great week end!

Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai.

One of the iconic building of Shanghai. The typical architectural subject where shooting with a tilt shift lens can make a difference and avoid too much distortion.

The Boatman :: Passage to Mordor
Yangshuo & Fisherman
by Daniel Cheong

I posted a similar shot last year, but the wing of the bird was slightly cropped. I think this composition is more balanced. It required more processing as there was another boat and fisherman on the right of the bird's wing which I had to clone out.

Surreal processing on purpose, I wanted to get some heroic fantasy atmosphere.

7 handheld exposures HDR tonemapped with Photomatix 4, bird from a single exposure, post processed with the new Nik Color Efex Pro V4 and AutoFX Mystical 2.

Hongkong Haze
Hong Kong
by Michael

I took this photo the morning of my last day in Hongkong back in September. It didn't appear to be a spectacular sunrise that morning due to the lack of clouds.

But as the sun appeared there was this beautiful haze. This together with the warm light made the photo for me.

And a little announcement: till Sunday I have all my post processing tutorials at 33% off their normal price. Simply use "black" as discount code. You can find all my tutorials here.

Type L for the large view.

The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) (simplified Chinese: 国家大剧院; literally: National Grand Theatre), and colloquially described as The Egg, is an opera house in Beijing, People's Republic of China. The Centre, an ellipsoid dome of titanium and glass surrounded by an artificial lake, seats 5,452 people in three halls and is almost 12,000 m² in size. It was designed by French architect Paul Andreu. Construction started in December 2001 and the inaugural concert was held in December 2007 (source: Wikipedia)

My Dear Friends, I am back from Beijing, unfortunately I did not have much time for blue hour photography. I managed to get that one, as well as a shot of the Olympic Stadium which will follow.

I will try to catch up with your streams before I fly to another destination next week! :-)
