…especially the 3 min mark in India.
This was a tough spot to find! This is a really cool night market in Hong Kong that I visited. I wanted to get a higher perspective so I looked around at all the neighboring buildings. This one wasn’t exactly easy to get into. Photography involves a lot more Breaking & Entering than I expected… anyway this one was made with one of my new presets!
Here’s one from when I visited an old tea house in Chengdu. These are becoming more and more rare with all the modernization in China… This also uses one of the new presets!
In a disorienting Beijing room, the familiar became surreal. Lights defied expectations, objects abandoned their usual places, and the mundane transformed into the extraordinary.
I didn’t make it to the Summer Palace until my final evening in Beijing during this trip. That turned out nicely though as I was graced with a lovely, delicate sunset. This place is also called the “Gardens of Nurtured Harmony”, a very welcoming name.
It’s maybe a bit of a bug and who knows if it’ll even show in this embed but you can do a super tall post on IG now.
1) Select to post on IG from the Meta Business Suite on your desktop/laptop.
2) Do the text, don’t upload the image yet.
3) Upload the image and as it’s uploading immediately hover over the publish button.
4) Publish becomes clickable for about 0.1 seconds before the error kicks in about the crop being incompatible.
5) Whack the publish button during that 0.1 seconds!
6) Done.
This is one of those situations where people seem to have a weird irrational reaction to a word. You almost always get a more positive reaction/conversation with people when you talk about quadcopter compared to drone. People are weird. Anyway, regardless of what you want to call them they are awesome, and it really unlocked a bunch of composition options when I moved to my first DJI model back in 2012 or so. Back then there was a bit of guess work involved where you had to attach a GoPro and then send the quadcopter up in the air to capture the images without any real way of knowing what you’d captured until you viewed the results on the device. Here’s one such image from Beijing. Shortly before I spent a little time in Chinese prison…
This is a fun one perspective wise!
Continuing the theme, this time with a total guess shot from a go-pro hanging off a quadcopter.
Next up from China 2014…
