  • KL Explorations

    KL Explorations

    Doing what I love most, wandering the streets with camera in hand to capture what I see.  KL this weekend offered lots of treats! Impressed by the full sensor Sony A7R!!  Have added 24mm and 75mm Voigtlander lenses (both 1.8) to my camera travel kit.  Small light lenses with pretty impressive performance.

    I have posted 30+ albums to my Karen’s Photography FaceBook page. Check it out for a full demo of the snaps I have taken. You’ll also find more Phuket images on my Phuket Blog: karencornelius.net/Phuket. These are just a few of my favourites in case you haven’t been to either site.  🙂

    I have been through the photos, from the first 4 stops of our Tibet journey, to de-saturate some of my favourites.  Here are some for your perusal.  Love to know what you think!
  • Unexpected day in Shanghai

    Unexpected day in Shanghai

    After some interesting airline stuff ups we had the gift of a day in Shanghai.  We walked miles, through old sections, along the Bund and up the main shopping strip.  A productive photographic day!
  • Chengdu again

    Chengdu again

    After a 14+ hour bus trip from Lahrong Monastery to Chengdu, we were ready for some quiet exploration and photography! We left Lahrong at 5 am to get the bus for Chengdu.  Rather than go to bus terminus it was decided that we meet the bus at a small town on a cross road where it was expected at 6am.  At 7am we were still watching the little town wake up for the day!  Waiting in the town was fascinating, we watched people emerge to start their day, music blared at 6:30am (wake up call we guessed), a yak herd wandered down the main street, small buses headed out in different directions.  Our bus was the 3rd big one to come through. A small town, but a busy hub! No ‘first class’ trip this time, we were packed in like sardines, (Asian sized seats) – we were to learn that it was not a bad thing given the roads!! (See the post ‘Road to Lahrong Monastery’ for more info!) It took 3 rotations of drivers to get us there.The third driver was slow and heavy handed on the horn. Any opportunity to blast his horn was taken – oncoming traffic, blind corners, cars, bikes people on the side of the road … A long trip!!
