One of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China
It has been the heart of China’s history for centuries and there is scarcely a major building of any age in Beijing that does not have at least some national historical significance. Renowned for its opulent palaces.

Cormorant Fishermen at Dusk ~ Guilin ~ China ~ Photography ~ Off Camera Flash ~ Nikon ~ CLS ~Landscape, originally uploaded by Dan Ballard Photography.
Explored
The last four days of shooting in China have been EPIC!! In an area that doesn't see a ton of sun this time of year, I just got four days of excellent shooting conditions. Including several great sunset/sunrise shoots. I was also lucky enough to have the chance to shoot a couple very old Fishermen that use Cormorant birds and lanterns to catch fish......This really is one of the most amazing places on earth.
Hand held at 1/50 sec and F8 ISO 200 with off camera flash held by an asst. on my left with warming gel. The flash was triggered using the on camera flash (dialed way down).

China yunnan :Dali :大理崇聖寺三塔
大理崇聖寺三塔
another way of my expression of this Dali visit-The 3 Pagoda's 大理崇聖寺三塔
the heavy haze covering the enormous background -mountain had portrait the contrast atmosphere of the isolation pagoda's tower with the added side intensity sun casting towards the prominently lit subject ''The golden pagoda n the walking monk.'' .
it look scarely underexpose but that's my cup of tea to creat this handheld shot in such actual mood i had bring it alive.
