Lunch On The Balcony

Posted By Mark on Feb 26, 2012

A couple enjoying lunch over one of the waterways. This is the last of the old, 2008 photos that I'm going to upload this weekend and this is one from Zhujiajiao once more but it's one I originally rejected as I'd got the exposure completely wrong and blown out all of the sky and some of the walls. Fortunately, time has brought experience and I was now able to recover the image to my satisfaction and give it a little oomph. Google+: View post on...

The Temple Of Heaven

Posted By Mark on Feb 26, 2012

For #SacredSunday curated by +Bill Wood, +Manfred Berndtgen, and +Charles Lupica. Yet another revisit and reprocessing of a photo taken in 2008, this one being from Beijing's incredible Temple of Heaven, one of the most incredible places I've ever visited thanks to all the people taking part in all their fantastic activities: line dancing, chess, ballroom dancing, tai chi, water painting, etc. Just looking at the photos from there this morning I can see dozens of pictures I never processed at the time (well, I did take a lot, it turns out) and dozens of others – like this one – that I absolutely have to go back and reprocess at some time to bring out something new.

Boatman

Another reprocessed shot from 2008 for my weekend wandering through old photos, this time featuring one of the boatmen who ferry tourists around the water town of Zhujiajiao outside Shanghai. I'm not entirely sure what that is in his hands and I certainly can't remember getting a good look at it at the time; I have to imagine it's a container with a warm drink or soup in it from the way he's cradling it. Submitted as part of #WorldCultureSunday curated by +Gene Tewksbury. Google+: View post on...

Through The Archway

Posted By Mark on Feb 25, 2012

Another old shot from our 2008 honeymoon revisited and reprocessed in the style I currently favour. This is a photo taken through an archway in a wall into – I guess – the forecourt of someone's house. This was just outside the entrance to the water city of Zhujiajiao, near Shanghai.
