Chasing Light in Qibao Old Town [Fujicolor Industrial 100]

qibao temple pagoda

Sitting out to the west of the city centre but still absolutely in Shanghai, Qibao old town makes a lovely day away from the shiny skyscrapers of China’s biggest metropolis.

If you’re going to go there, try to pick a day with fewer people. So neither a weekend nor a national holiday. Try also to pick a sunny day. Then you can take advantage of the light and get better photographs.

Trust me. I shot parts of Qibao – on Fujicolor Industrial 100 film – on both bright and overcast days. Come see the difference good light makes to your photography here.

The #leesixtyfive Project: Photographs 271 – 300

I’ve finally done it, friends. I’ve finally gone and raided the archives to give the #leesixtyfive project the boost it needed. All 30 photographs in this update were taken at some point earlier in the year.

You may consider it breaking the rules of a 365 project. I can understand that. But y’know, my project, my rules. And they switched to 365 images in 365 days a long time ago.

Come check out this latest update to find out why the process of your own 365 project is the result, and to see if I’ll ever get mine completed in time.

The #leesixtyfive Project: Photographs 241 – 270

So we made it past the 250 mark. Although that doesn’t seem too significant a milestone when the target is 365… but it’s better than not making it to 250.

These descriptions are getting harder to write for these middle-of-the-project updates, although I’m happy I have the opportunity to have to come up with something.

In truth, photographs 241 to 270 aren’t the priority right now, even as I type this. Photographs 271 and onwards are. Come read and check out how I plan to get them in the coming weeks.
