argh, the curse of tobacco companies, they're everywhere.

Nice pix u have there bro. Nice compo as well Love it !

I'll blame the litter-bugs and polluters of our environment. Smokers can poison themselves for all I care.

Thanks!

Gushing Streams and Towering Waterfall , besides emerald calm lakes; are the hallmark of Jiuzhaigou.

Wasted my time and energy carrying the tripod, no chance to use. Hardly have standing space and the hordes of ppl just made it impossible. Anyway, some shots I took, handheld...so not very sharp

Autumn in Jiuzhaigou

walao.. nice waterfall shoots..
shoots waterfal izzit need to use low shutter?? 1/10 or ???

the first water terjun very nice, nicer if u have tripod and longer shutter speed!

ah leong, slower shutter speed is nicer for water flowing image, it will create the soft and blur effect of the water

Ah Leong & LanX,

Thanks for coming by.

Hahah...got tripod also no use...hardly have standing space also...want to 'par wai' to take pix also susah...everyone is shoving and pushing for space!!!!...I almost got pushed into the water. Luckily someone grabbed my jacket

LanX is right. I used Apeture Priority mode. It was quite misty and sky is overcast. Somemore most of the time, we are under heavy cover...lots of trees.
Poor lighting, no tripod, moving water. I also binggung...dunno what setting to use.

This one taken at f/22...smooth water effect:



This one taken at f/5.6...not-so-smooth water effect:

VERY beautiful waterfall photos.
so unfortunate that you have to shuffle with other people for photo taking. having gone with a tour to shanghai before, I quite understand your situation. That's why a lot of my holiday photos has very little landscape shots. A lot of time, some fool would wander into the shot, spoiling it.
luckily your sensor not so dirty. otherwise at f/22, you'd see dark spots on the photos.

THX for your kind words and for dropping by.

My group not very besar...semua kenal sama sdn. Jiuzhaigou is like swarmed with ppl. To beat the maddening crowd, we were waiting at the park entrance at 6.30 am; to be the first group to enter. The waterfall portion was the last destination when the crowd had gathered. Had to walk on planks placed over the flowing water( like the foll pix.) This part where the pix was taken, it was not so crowded and I waited quite a while for the ppl to go away . Most parts of the way, I didn't have to walk, I just got pushed along.

Water is gushing out from every nook and corner.

#1 & #2, looked solid enough to walk on, (but just a photographic illusion )

this two oso handheld?
very nice

def not handheld. nice pics.. i needa find myself more waterfalls!

walk on the water??...oohhh..kena bawa current nanti!


Yes..

Thx!....

def=??

do they allow u to jump into the water?.. XD looks so cold..

I would think not. Srictly stay on the path.

Well, if you really want to jump into the freezing water, can always claim innocence and say that you fell or was pushed into the water

intresting long exposure shots. ths for sharing, nv had my chance to go china yet...

Thx for coming by. More pix:

Emerald Lakes and Autumn Hues @ Jiuzhaigou.

the water is so clear
