1. How do you achieve this amount of sharpness? I always find my images not being sharp enough
2. Are these on HDRs?

Shanghai Glow

Been dying to get this shot done as it was one of my favourites from the whole trip. The reason I took so long was because I save the best for when I have alot of time to make something worth being absolutely satisfied with.

Hope you like this really hazey yet romantic rendition of Shanghai from the Bund.

Camera Info:
Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 24-70 f2.8L Mk1 | ISO 100 | f 14.0 | focal length 35mm (10 tile, 5 exposure HDR panorama.)

Pearl Sunshine

As you may expect after trying 6 days without luck a sunrise at this spot, that seeing the sun almost brought about intense emotions of ambition. I was running from one end of the Bund to the other to capture all the scenes I had in mind.

Who needs candy crush when life has its own hard games!

Camera Info:
Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 24-70 f2.8L Mk1 | ISO 100 | f 14.0 | focal length 50mm (3 exposure digital blend)

The Golden Oriental

On day 7, I had really great weather to shoot the Bund. I was quite relieved as the very next day I would be flying back..

Thank goodness.. luck was on my side.

Hi Jon

This is a very nice image.
1. Can you kindly confirmed that this is NOT a single image?
2. The reflection was "photoshopped" ?
Thanks.

yes the reflection is photoshopped. its difficult to get a perfect reflection here as there are many barges moving along. Even shooting a panorama is difficult.
great series! Which part of Shanghai is this in?
Errr.. Im not too sure as i stumbled in when looking for a place to eat. it's in mercedes arena if Im not wrong.

If this giant was alive and looking itself in the mirror.. I hope for the sake of everyone in it that it doesnt flex its muscles.

The interior of Waldorf Astoria was so interesting with every corner of it being a grand masterpiece of its own. I was lucky to be able to see and shoot it without any hassle. I loved and savoured every moment of it but in the back of my mind I would keep thinking I'd get stop any moment but it never happened.
