Thanks everyone.

Kitano, I've not sold anything but I was hired by a foreigner to take some shots of her and her boyfriend while he was visiting her.

Although she was happy, I didn't enjoy that at all. I really don't take portraits and didn't like the photos I took. As a hobby I can shoot what I want, but as a job it sucked.

Of course it would be nice to sell something but I'm new to photography and really don't know what I'm doing. Just enjoy doing it as a hobby.

It's a pretty good hobby for expats I think, something that gets you out and about without needing other people and a bottle.

Changsha already considered one of the furnaces of China has been setting temperature records this year. Hottest summer in 140 years. We've been 2.5 months without rain and everything is wilting.

Except the water lilies. They love the weather.

Thanks Stil! In photo 4, has that guy really stopped on a pedestrian crossing to answer his phone? Even if his back tyre was flat, one would think that he would move the bike to the footpath. bibibibibi

Title: Re: Changsha Photo Dump
Post by: Stil on February 09, 2015, 04:03:50 AM

He's a delivery guy. I doubt he's answering, I think he's calling to check for his delivery. Pedestrian crossing is a bit of a joke here. It's not a main road with lights, no one would cross here except by accident. You just walk across the road anywhere. Where he is stopped is perfectly normal here.

Title: Re: Changsha Photo Dump
Post by: Granny Mae on February 09, 2015, 12:19:20 PM

Thanks Stil. Makes one wonder why they bother painting in a pedestrian crossing. No wonder many Asian folk here just appear to make up their own road rules. ahahahahah
