Guizhou China - Dong Village

7 years ago I spent a weekend in Guizhou in a small mountain village of the "Dong" people.

This was a great experience and one I will never forget.

 

China in Black and White

How many times have I been to China? It must be in the hundreds by now. Its a fascinating place to    work and there is always something to take photo of. China has been modernising so fast and they are losing their history as the old is pulled down to be replaced by the new.

I find that Black and White photographs eliminate many distractions while highlighting textures. This tends to make the subject of the image stand out from for the viewer to see clearly.

Some of these were taken with my Fuji x100s a small digital camera that is just amazing, its non intrusive, and is truly underestimated.

Taj Mahal - 2013

I have recenty joined a new camera club in Healesville. This has completely renewed my interest in photography. Now that I am no longer working full time i also have the spare time needed to work on photos to get the best results. These photos were taken in July 2013 but today I worked on them in Lightroom.
