Stan nice catch on the long throws and plentiful with the shadow details. Mother and child relationship is more evident on the 2nd photo. I am wondering did you shoot wide open with the lens? Abit of CA surfacing on parts of the bicycle on pic1, it seems a tad soft. With the slight difference in the WB on both pics, I prefer the 2nd photo on the morning light i suppose. :thumbsup:

Alan, appreciate your feedback and comment. I shot this pix at a distance at above platform with f2.8@145mm and focus on them, surrounding could be not as sharp. Ya, 1st pix cannot see the child clearly.

My itinerary is quite simple.

Places of Interest visited can refer to the link on thread #1. It shows you the places I went to. Wish you a great journey... many had went and never regret.

eh, i thought u drove from singapore to tibet and courier your car back to singapore.


Sorry to probe more questions.

If i were to take train, is it neccessary to buy tickets and visa in advance? Is it possible for me to apply on the day of the journey?

Maybe you can make a search 'Tibet' in CS , some of them went by train..Dont need visa if within 15 days for Singaporean.
u can pm if u have more questions.

He was ever with a sincere smile.... never requested for anything but just want a photo.
At his young age, he was carrying a heavy thermos flask for his grandmother...a good grandson.
Even after a year, I still feel for the many peoples I met during my trip at Tibet whenever I look at these photos.

I remember this young boy! He's the same one from the one standing with the strong sunlight cast upon him, carrying the thermos with a slight hunch you posted long ago
hhehe good shot once again Stan !

Hi, which part of China are you going? Have a great trip.

Personally, I have the tendency to go close to the subject I wish to capture.The WA lens (12-24mm) is quite useful for this kind of situation; it is not a "shy lens"
Besides, I am able to capture people with its env. such as photo 17, thread 98.A Tele-lens is useful when situations do not permit me to get close to the subject.

The "Feel" of the images is of top priority to me even if it doesn't really appeal “technically”. I seldom use filters too.
Sometimes, it is more productive to "wait" at a selected location to watch the people, happenings, etc passing by me.

This is just my personal preference, hope it helps.

i'm going to a small county in the Hunan area. but i will be travelling in a group so it'd be quite difficult for me to get up close.. i have a 28-300 zoom that isnt very sharp and a nikon 18-70 kit lens.. which one would you recommend i use? should i give up the sharpness for the range? or force myself to pluck up the courage and go in close?

looking to do people shots.. kinda like..highlighting their way of life, the more tender moments etc.. any tips? besides practice, haha. i know the only way to improve is that. but..other than that? thanks haha=) kinda noob.

btw, about your "feel" of the image, its up to me to "see" and "assess" what i think it feels like right? as in..with the added context and all? just checking. thanks. =)

in the first place, you are finalising on bringing and using only 1 lens? other than doing environmetal portraits and activities, would you foresee yourself shooting anything else?

nope. i think i'll be bringing both lenses. i find my 18-70 is much sharper and i do want to challenge myself to talk to the people i've shot. other than portraits, uhm, it would be just the normal group pics and some who's-doing-what kind of shots..any pointers? thanks. all this info is gg into my photog log book. haha. i.e. what to do and what not to do. and ideas for shoots..

re: hosea: is it fine w you if i try to imitate your portrait styles?
