Juizhaiguo Part 2 ( as part 1 corrupted)

The lanterns in Chengdu - One  of the Opera House - the ambiance

she was the MC

The master of Erhu - The song Madam butterfly - one of the folk's song in China - So if you want to enjoy music, not just listen but play an instrument to appreciate it.  This master is using his subconscious mind (did not even open his eyes) to play ( practice every day - pro, include some of the his own techniques )  

Justice Bao Gong -  According to legend he can enter hell to seek answers!

Look at the spining

Look at the how her hands handle the handkerchief - only DSLR can take these kind of shots. Freeze the moment of time

Look at her hand on the feather.! That was 70 feet away . (24-300mm lens). Therefore buying a camera > 12megapixel for night shots does not serve any purpose cause with iso 6400 is enough. more than that is noise. So they need to develop a better sensor. than. Then maybe yes.!   The tour guide said we were in the front row from the back ( from the photo i took) !

 the

Wedding Gown in Chengdu

Dinner of spicy food. Malaysian is more spicy

Still like the changing mask - sifu and i bought the unique toys. quite fun though. We always change our face expression!

Group photo next time follow my photo etiquette no free style ok

loving couple Mr & Mrs Kok

the drainage and the pool

toilet  ! Unbelievable

Where is our white knight! Always love the ancient cities of China- the structures and the atmosphere. 

The T shirt describe Sichuan well  Changing Masks- colouful and vibrant

The figurines so cute ( the ones in the glass are so intricately made)

Just love the ceramic lotus petals

On the way to the private room- which was supposedly for 16 persons - two tables . Thanks to godfather - one for all or all for one. Seeking favor is like swallowing a seven inch sword - Chinese proverb  . Really difficult to utter the words as I was beside him. Look what is my sifu doing?  Well it depicts the life of an ancient town and its activities.

 the group first photo together - Well this was the third attempts - lighting bad , arrangement lousy !!!. Should taken in the private room  where there is good lighting, arrangement, ambiance etc ..... Regrets that i did not taken any photos of the finest dinner in Chengdu - must have manners when we talk and great people that i am still  learning from my English friend - Grooming to be an English gentlemen is not a easy task !

they urge to take this quote - altough no so good in mandarin translated into -  life is too short , enjoy  with wine and music. god father said that in the old days only  music and wine are a form of entertainment . Just like what i have written ?  In Jenny Woo's hits. ironically right!

Romance of the three kingdoms in 13 century - Liu Bei , Guan Yu , Zhangi Fei -  Trustworthy -  Present time must change to  WH Low , SM Kok  and KC Chong - ( all men are brothers) Ask godfather about China's history - Six provinces (XIAN -states until now . I  have read and  watched (TVB series ) still blur blur . Too long history!

How to describe sifu taking photos - Capturing Romance of the three kingdoms with simo . Can fit ? i enlarged the photo but romance of the three kingdoms.does no fit in- except in this picture.

The conservatory park in Cengdu. a must visit

God father 's calligraphy - The word - dragon prosperity or vice versa . Very well indeed - Excellent - Imagine how long  he has pick up a brush and use it? Kenny please keep your promise to buy him one!

Did no know that the Lau's clan had made such a great impact on China history!

Jenny Woo;'s action on her capture

An old person ( writing in Chinese calligraphy ) translated to- Chengdu welcome Malaysia guests. ( Mom use to teach me Mandarin - learn nothing - shy -no practise ) Great as many people in the park are interested. Awesome feel.

Worst capture for the whole trip - so misty - tried a lot of settings - gave up as the boat passed by for less than a minutes. should have changed to 50mm f1.4 instead of a wide angle. Leshan biggest Buddha statute in the word. 

East (godfather )and west (sifu) having discussion ?

Look at the fierce lion - misty that morning

Ambiance of the hall way

Yaw yee in cantonese means friendship - the hotel in e'mehsan  fish in gold color - Converted by the Comunist party - used to accommodate high rank officials during their stay on duty.  

Kenny the great with his colleague

the side view

the room

Juizhaiguo Ancient village with the view

Th bathroom - everything i can think of

Juizhaiguo Ancient village -look at the architecture

the study in my room where i always write when i have the opportunity - life and everyone.

the room all to myself

over exposed cause i used bulb setting, the window hardly wide enough ?- Chengdu at night - hardly any cars - clean up day- dry the clothes,pants etc. normally i would go out but there is no bridge for my tripod. 

E Meshan using the effect of wide angle look at background - wide angle is the most difficult lens to use - distortion 

the Buddha at E meishan

Gold pavilion - spot godfather & family at the stairs?

Silver pavilion

The heaven in E meshan - half cover by cloud. . even nano coating could not overcome The flare or "ghost"

Look at his expression

look appetizing right - Lamb - bokeh effect

Graceful dance - look at the hand and the eyes

Paradise resort in juizhaiguo- bus shot

Look at this picture and compare below

Uncle look at the left and the head is nearer to auntie- more loving - shooting wedding photo technique. Make sure they smiles or you cannot get paid. Sometines  it took a days for wedding photos - Important points make them smile! A lot depends on the photographer and his creativity. 

Look at the joy of smiling Jenny Woo and her aunt- The contrast -red and white

So you see - i ensure she does not look at the camera ? The smile

Purposely overexposed - background. Kenny you can use this picture as post card - write something  at the back- Like when is your next year holiday - Will you still remember me as your tour leader. very cheeky of him . He wanted the post  i enhanced it with creativity . Doing events shooting you must be much more creative than your competitors else got reprimanded and your photos will not be published in the news.   

God father was coined on this occasion - "yat kah jee jee"  in Cantonese . His eldest son look so boyish - Looks can be deceiving . Compare the smile below. I was supposedly siting at the centre of the room - behind is the altar .

The joy and smile - i got you?

Jenny Woo's sister and aunties

Toast of wine -  just like the Cantonese clan - utter auspicious words

Full of expression

Just look at theirs smile  - enjoying - using a f 1.4  50mm lens- bokeh effect

god father sang a Mandarin 4  godmother - show look in her eyes.  I was not fast to capture it. 

well since godfather pass the mic no choice have to sing (A Malay song by Alleycats  - Kerana kau) The third verse - i heard some one said - he must be in a signing contest before - some one utter said his malay so good?  some one utter good expression ?  then i totally forgot the next line!  How embarrassed? If you play music, dance, singing, expression, composing  comes so naturally . Then you are a complete musician.
