Hey guys.. I thought this appropriate. Post fotos that are asian themed. It can be scenery, am/xf pics, people, street fotography, etc. I don't mean links, mag pics, etc. that you find under google search. These have to be personal fotos taken by YOU!!

I'll start. Here are coupla captures I shot at the local beach a few days ago. Both shot with a telefoto lens approx. 70-80ft away.


Father & Son. I thought this a pretty cute composition. The little tyke could hardly lift up that stone. His father was telling him to throw it in the water. It hardly dropped more than 2 ft. in front of him. LOL.





Asian squat. Damn.. Can you squat for hours reading like that?? LOL.

Awww that little boy is sooooo cute.

Isn't he?? I should crop the pic and blow up the size. Now there's a thought. Hold on..

Quick crop of the kid and upsized.

More fotos from last nite. A quick walk near chinatown...

I like these asian bird cage lamps. I was lucky to get this shot as a security guard arrived and told me to leave just as I was pressing the shutter. I thought it would be a mess of a blur but instead I captured it at 1/1000 ss. WTF?? Surprised the hell out of me. LOL.


Bird cages. Shot without flash..





Neon above. What's chinatown without flashy lights, "take out & delivery" in neon??





Flowers for the girls. Shot these without flash..

Wow, those are really great! What kind of camera do you use?

'You'll get over it...' It's the clich's that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not erased by anyone but death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit. Why would I want them to??

I use the sony H5 for quick snaps. See the following review..

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonyh5/

Sony prolly makes the best non-dslr cameras with dslr like features IMO. I was stuck between the Canon version but chose Sony in this category as their lcd color noise was way less.

Sony now has an updated H9 series version but IMO does not justify an upgrade. I used it in-store and found the upgraded features were not a noticeable difference over the H5. Plus they changed the thread size so you have to purchase new conversion lenses. Sucks that! Just more $$ for Sony shareholders.

I also have a dslr - Canon 30D

K, Got these pics from last nite. A few from that shoot posted here. More nature oriented than asian themed. But there were asian people nearby.. LOL. The lighting was terrible and it was just after sunset after traveling nearly two hours to get to this location. But the magic of photoshop saved the day...


Opposites attract.




See you all later.



Couple in love.
