Pouring a bowl of congee, the owner of this well assorted breakfast place by the market in Heshun, looks out on the center of the market every day. Serving congee, you tiao, and spicy noodles, the place is a favorite with the locals. Shot as a high dynamic range image (HDR), during a rare sunset in Shanghai, the shot combines different exposures to show the unusual sky with lots of detail in the clubhouse and water. The living compound at the Western end of Changning district is typical for Shanghai's wealthier people, with several high rises encircling playgrounds, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, golf driving range and clubhouse. The HDR technique allows us to show the scene like the human eye would perceive it, extending the dynamic range upwards and downwards by two stops each. High atop one of the many pillars holding up the maglev, three workers look out over the construction site near Shanghai. They invited my up, so I climbed the ramshackle stairs. The Twelve Apostles (only eleven remain standing) are situated on one of the harshest stretches of coast known to man. From here on South, nothing but roaring ocean until we hit Antartica. This shot was taken before sunrise, blurring the waves. A worker in Lijiang, Yunnan, smiles at the viewer, as he lets the day slip by on the town square. Large incense sticks are burning in a temple. Intricate patterns and writing create a beautiful color scheme. These candles have the same function as candles in Western churches and can be found everywhere. Rice bags with neat labels made from thin slices of wood, denoting the type and origin form a simple composition of circles and diagonals. This stall was by far the cleanest and best arranged in the entire market and its Japanese proprietor proud, but also camera shy. A bus parking lot in the early morning light, shot from above. The sunlight reflecting from the ground creates nice geometric forms. These old, intricately hammered fittings on the doors create a great contrast with the red varnish of the wood. Dragons are depicted on many of them, symbolizing power and long life. On old, beat up ladle sits on an open bag of rice. The rice is measured and packed there on the spot and different types are on display. The sun bursts through a cloud covered sky onto the mist covered islets of the bay. At the end of a long day, with only a single shot left on my card, I stopped by the road as the sky cleared enough to let the sun shine through. Mystically beautiful, the bay is West of the 12 apostles along the Great Ocean Road running from Melbourne to Adelaide. The early morning sun required a long exposure to capture this Black Oyster Catcher on the Californian coast, making beautifully abstract patterns out of the sea.
