[AT] Travel the World with my D800E


After the assault of colours from all the graffiti-shooting, I found this quite refreshing. For those who've been to Kuala Lumpur, this is the unmistakable Dayabumi Complex.

Catching up with posting after being away for some time traveling. There is currently an ongoing discussion in the UK press on road safety for cyclists following recent deaths. This was taken at a busy junction outside the entrance to the Monument Tube station.

That's a nice compliment, Justin. I assume that's your name. Cool avatar and screen name!
 

Along Jalan Pudu on the way to Sek Yuen, a Chinese restaurant that is an institution in Kuala Lumpur, I walked past this small temple. The joss coils are still smoking

I normally love to take photos after the rain; the air is clearer and the reflections off wet surfaces give the image a sparkle. The moment before our tropical thunderstorm arrives is equally interesting, and it is best when the sun manages to peek out of the clouds and light up the buildings against a foreboding backdrop.

Hi Andrew,

Your photos are an inspiration....the details and the angles are wonderful.

I am just wondering what lens you used for most of your photos?
 

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your kind comments. I use Nikkors and Zeisses - mainly Nikkor 16-35 f/4, 50 f/1.4, 105 f/2.8 Macro, 200 f/4; and Zeiss 21 f/2.8 Distagon and 50 f/2 Makro Plannar. To me all are exceptionally sharp with Nikkor 50 f/1.4 being the least. If you need to know specifically which lens for which photo, you'll need to click on the title of the photo to go to Flickr and view Exif info from there. Thanks for viewing.

This is across my hotel in Seoul. Usually I try in fly in early, and have the evening around the hotel to try to shoot some pictures. This park, called Hangang Park, has a structure which I believe commemorates something but I haven't been able to figure this one out.

Beijing has been battling smog and dust but on a good wintry day, it can be clear and blue. The sun rises over Central Beijing casting its orange glow. The Wangfujing shopping district with its landmark clock tower can be seen in the background. This is a two-shot blend to properly expose both the bright and dark parts.

Well, this is one of those pictures which is boringly standard but I shoot anyway, because… when I am there, and I don't have the photo yet, what am I to do. I didn't have time to try funny angles plus security seemed very tight after a recent car crash that I decided not to be too conspicuous. I tried to shoot it as flawlessly as I could to make up for the run-of-the-mill nature of the image.

Thanks for the photos. I don't think there will be a "standard" shot of your last photo because the square is so wide. Might I suggest a road side shot from either the west (Zhongnanhai area) or the east.
I once entertained the idea of shooting this place taking reference to the past - of important occasions and parades long forgotten. But it was not be be.
