Wow! There are some magnificent shots there!

hoodmeister · 4 Feb 2006 at 13:25

Nice. Medium format, methinks...

Raymond Lin · 4 Feb 2006 at 13:29

You might very well be right.

They are nice photographs but they look a little surreal and over-processed on a lot of them.

My EXIF sin;t working or maybe there isn't any? Anyone know what equipment those were taken with?

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 4 Feb 2006 at 13:51

Those are amazing!

Gotta agree
some pretty sensational Photography on display there

From the aspect ratio of the photo, I am guessing Medium format and Fuji negative.

Probably find it is something like a medium format SeaGull, which is a chinese copy of the Rollei TLR. Has that sort of feel anyway.

Fantastic shots, very well taken. :cool:

Very esoteric and zen-like. Absolutely beautiful

DizMatt · 4 Feb 2006 at 18:55

simply stunning
the colours look over saturated, almost abstract, but great looking

lukechad · 4 Feb 2006 at 20:01

They are all awesome, superb detail and great colour, a little over saturated perhaps but fantastic nevertheless.

Lostkat · 4 Feb 2006 at 20:05

Absolutely incredible. I really need to visit this place!!

Memphis · 4 Feb 2006 at 20:12

Some stunning shots and some seriously stunning landscape.

To breathe in the pollution and use the squatting toilets?

I think the pics are good, but they're mainly rice fields and mountains. You need the urban pics to see what China has become today (pollution and construction central).

The agriculture is totally foreign(!) heh, lovely pics.

If i am correct these were taken in an area of China called Guillin, My wife & i were due to go there last year but due to my wifes accidental death a week before we were due to leave we did'nt get to go. But it looks fantastic thanks for the link.

I think people need to realise that it doesn't take a fancy medium format camera to take good photos!! These were taken with a Fuji S304, a <£300 3.2MP compact.

How are you sure of this? The pictures don't look like compact camera quality to me.
