Ji Xiang the two words on the lantern in Chinese means lucky, auspicious and propitious. It is one of the many wishes to visitor in Kaiyuan Si, Chao Zhou, China. I decided to use a different angle to capture this corner of Kaiyuan Si. The gorgeous sky and the sunburst through the leaves apparently added colour and interest to the entire image.
Guang Ji Lou, Chao Zhou, China, is one of the attraction not to be missed. When I came out from Guan Ji Qiao, I was attracted by the dramatic sky. In order to emphasize the cloud formations, I deliberately using a 16mm focal length wide angle lens to capture this image. Though I captured the image of Guang Ji Lou and placed at the lower portion of the image, the maximum dramatic impact of the image is thus achieved. To me, I like the different perspective of capturing this icon of Chao Zhou. Most importantly, the sunburst added interest to the entire image.
The body language of the children shows that they care about each and others well being. I like the decisive moment of the expression of each child. The cohesion of the children is really intact. It is an image that you have to react quickly and capture at the right time. This is another image that I captured in the old town of Hoi An, Vietnam, July, 2018.
