Artist's Comments

The Forbidden City, Beijing. Shot at the Front Court, inside the Meridian Gate: the Inner Golden Water River.

For game nuts, this is where the boss battle within the "Land of the Dragons" took place in Kingdom Hearts 2.

Digital camera, Samsung L830. PhotoShop. Unfortunately the day was overcast and the lighting was mediocre at best.

Hey, actually... overcast days are the best for picture taking. Sunlight creates a lot of contrast, and cloudyness makes it easier to saturate your pictures with colour all over... Especially with a longer exposure!...
Gotta love photography professors for that. lol

Man, this is a bomb photo, I love the colour saturation with the red and the blue and how it really pops out and contrasts the gray. Damn, it's sexy. :D

Wow! I guess I'm a game nut--after you mentioned about the boss battle, I went, "Hey! I fought a nasty wind dragon there!" Heh.
Nice shot--even though the day was overcast, you've got beautiful colours here. Great job!
Also, the reflection is awesome.

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Heh, true indeed. Depends on the subject matter though, no? I myself tend to prefer some defining light more often than not, but it's just taste. I'm also no photographer. But hey, happy you like, thanks! :D

... when I went there, I totally didn't get such nice shots. It was sunny that day, I believe.

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
