The longest shutter speed available on an EOS camera is 30 seconds. But sometimes that’s not enough – there are times when you need a longer shutter speed. That’s where the Bulb setting comes in.

Regular readers will know by now that I’m a big advocate of the square format (see the previous post for some inspiration). Red Ognita approached me a few weeks ago and I liked his work so much that I asked him to take part in an interview. Red is based in Beijing and has some beautiful black and white photos taken in China and other Asian countries. Read the rest of this entry »

As a photographer staying in China, I’m interested in beautiful landscapes and the way that people in the more remote parts of the country live (I’m planning a trip to Yunnan early next year – I won’t find many of those here in Shanghai). But a photographer who ventured into remote China long before me is Terri Gold. Her work caught my eye some time ago as she has created some beautiful black and white images using a digital camera converted to infrared. She has travelled to China several times, and is a witness to the immense changes that have taken place here over the last twenty years or so.

Strange as it may seem, up until last week I hadn’t considered taking any photos of the buildings in Shanghai. I’ve already taken my ‘must-do’ shots – the obligatory photos of the ‘forest’ of skyscrapers (taken from my apartment balcony) and the view of the Pudong skyline from the Bund (both images below). But that was just to get them out of my system; and concentrate on the ‘serious’ business of creating some more original images.

Last weekend we went to Hangzhou, a city around 180km south-west of Shanghai, by high speed train. It’s quite an experience; Hongqiao railway station in Shanghai is brand new (and enormous) and boarding the train felt more like entering a space ship. It was the smoothest train ride that I’ve ever been on – even at 300 km/h it seemed to be barely moving. We completed the journey in less than an hour.
