    Stroll Seen while strolling...walking and wandering outside

    I'm just back in Guangzhou after a week in Shanghai and I have around 2000 pictures to work my way through. For starters here are a few shots of Shanghai's three tallest skyscrapers.

    Yesterday it finally got cold(ish) here in Guangzhou with the high down to 8C. It was the same today but it didn't stop the locals from playing mahjong outdoors by the river.

    Here are a few more shots with the Rokinon 75. The first two were shot during daylight at f5.6, the third was from close up at f2. There are a few more examples on my Guangzhou Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/olli-guangzhou/

    Lens Rokinon 75 f1.8 X

    Here are a few photographs from a couple of nights ago when I took this newly acquired lens out for the first time. I've also included 100% crops from each. All of these were shot at ISO 3200 and I processed them through DXO Pure Raw which tends to soften them ever so slightly. (Also, the...

    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    When I was living in Taiwan I printed a monthly magazine with my favourite pictures from that month and I've continued that practice in Guangzhou. The first arrived over the holidays - much delayed because it was sent to Bangkok, then sent back to the US via Tokyo, before finally arriving here...

    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    I've only taken it out a couple of times but so far I do like it. It is very lightweight compared to the Fuji lenses but it seems well enough made. The focusing ring is smooth with just the right amount of pressure required to move it. (I don't use manual focus but I think the operation of the...

    It's the Titanic Museum in Belfast. I think the main architects were a local Northern Ireland practice.

    GAS Latest Shiny Things (non camera related)

    While back home over the holidays I visited a newish distillery that opened up a few years ago in Ballynahinch, about 20 miles south of Belfast. It's a lovely site and a great tour and naturally I acquired a bottle while there. This is the Hinch distillery exclusive - a peated malt matured in...

    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    I've been looking for a 70mm-ish lens for my Fuji since I always liked the 105mm focal length on my old Nikon film cameras. For a long time the closest Fuji options were either 56mm - too short - or 90mm - too long. Then two 75mm lenses popped up at around the same time last year. I went for the...

    Welcome. I just recently moved from Taipei after living there for a year. It's a fabulous place for photography. If you're into photobooks there's a great photo book shop called Moom Books just off Zhongxiao E Road, at Zhongxiao Fuxing metro stop.

    The musical fountain in Huacheng Square. There's a performance most nights at 8pm and I normally watch it from my apartment which overlooks the square. A couple of nights ago I went down to take a few pictures. I thought I was far enough back but then got drenched during one particularly intense...

    Dancing polar bears outside a mall in Guangzhou. I've no idea what was going on here or what they were promoting. The lady on the right posed for a photograph and then decided to join in.

    October 2023 Lightroom Update

    I just updated to the latest version of Lightroom Classic. While a lot of the focus has been on the Lens Blur and HDR features, the really significant update for me is the Point Colour setting. Not only does this allow very fine-grained control of HSL globally, it also works on local adjustments...
