Travel: Shanghai and Beijing

Went on a holiday trip to China in February during Chinese New Year. Winter was coming to an end but still had the chance to see some snow at the outskirts of Shanghai. I wanted to travel light and took with me the 17-35mmm f2.8 and 85mm f1.4. The zoom lens was used the most while the 85mm was used for theater performances. Clicking the photos below will take you to the gallery.


Shanghai City still developing.


West Lake, Hangzhou.


West Lake, Hangzhou. You can imagine how hard it was to take a photo without someone interfering.


Typical home by a small canal at Suzhou.


The woman was actually singing and piloting the little boat.


The National Grand Theater in Beijing. Would have really loved to take a photo of this masterpiece during sunset!


Saw a ray of light coming through the ceiling of this little building at the The Forbidden City, Beijing.


The Great Wall of China, Beijing.

Will post photos of chinese theatrical performances in the next couple of days.
