One image to share and contribute to the thread.

Home behind the Rock
 


A different perspective of The Rock.
It is not easy to achieve a balanced photo of Xiao Guilin due to the wide dynamic range present. It is
like shooting in a valley with walls on both sides and the light casting overhead.

It's even more a challenge for sunrise as it rises from the other side of the hill. I suppose blending / blackcarding / soft GND / HDR will help here.
 

Hi guys, I made a trip to Little Guilin to check things out for myself. Here's a small contribution from me. Hope to be able to explore more of the Batok area soon!

Here's some of mine through the years, even though I stay in the East. Those of you who stay there should explore the place more! Pretty sure there are more perspectives of Little Guilin especially.

Newbie or not, it's great sharing different viewpoints, and it's good to see new ones, thanks for sharing views near the swimming pool! :)

I stay pretty high floor, and thus able to see far, as far as Malaysia. Here's one with telephoto at 468mm equivalent using m43. On a good sunset, it can be quite unique sight.



And one at 378mm equivalent

With photos like these, already graduated from "newbie".
