now what about a bridge that is REALLY original and... uops, here it is! well the towers looks like HOUSES!!! AMAZING, never seen that before and that surely is one of the most unique bridges in the world James, oh God...what a great moment to be on a so great country with so many different and special elements about the traditions it has! Everything looks unique, different and beautiful there and I think the length of only 65 meters really means nothing to the beautiness of the architecture!!! It's amazing!

A well done collage of portraits, James! Each one represents a very different individual and a very good collection of them taken all together.
Thanks for all your comments, too!
Dave.

All the portraits are great, specia faces (not common) and so a composition of them into a frame makes a splendid work James!

Excellent shot, ok, the reflection is GREAT as the water was very waveless and so almost like a mirror, BUT the most importante element here is the buildings, that really imprese me! unusual for sure!
I like also the empty ground, after some meters away from the water of the lake, strong area, almost like a desert of rocks at the back however people trying to have a life there even with...nothing around them... excellent shot, and difficult too, needs A LOT from the photographer before the "clic"

Hi debra, yes a pano would maybe be better here. i tried photos of this bridge from all angles and this is one that i liked more than the others. i'll likely be back in that area this summer, so may try it again, different colours at that time as well.
take care ~ james

Hi Konstantin, thanks for those corrections. Kashgar is indeed at a crossroads of different ethnic groups, and thats part of what makes it very interesting.

Hi,James.
Bottom left is Uzbek, center looks Kyrhgyz or Kazakh (can't see the hat's ornament). Hat's name is called kolpak. The rest of the bunch looks Uigour.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Konstantin

Alison, we (UF82222 and I) never really planned to go to the airport that day. We were headed to the ancient capital at Ayuthaya, but the rain was so heavy we turned back and came to the airport instead. All the aircraft photos in these two uploads of mine were taken very close in time to one another. This was the only photo where the sky was decent, all the others were hazy and/or heavy cloud. Plus we had the sun in a bad spot, it was about 3-4pm and if I had waited another second or two for this photo, I would have been pointing my camera in the direction of the sun.
Anyway, it was the first time I had tried this type of photography, and you really need to search out a place where you wont be found but where you can also get a good view. Which reminds me, we did find one spot where we were right under the aircraft as they passed overhead but for some reason we went to this location instead.

That must have been fun but also a bit noisy, good shots of the different airlines. I guess in this day and age everyone is paranoid. I have trouble taking the outside of buildings in my town. Alison

Hi AJ. I also see a little jaggedness around the wingtip, but in the file I uploaded from my laptop, the image looks fine. I'm sure I unchecked the default sharpening that UF puts on photos, otherwise, I can't think of what it might be.
About the plane being too far forward, I agree. I had several shots of this one aircraft but that was the best one, I'd like to have had him come around again. I suppose I could have cropped some off the right side, but I like to keep the image intact as much as possible. Like I said, we were getting hassled by some local "police" and didnt have much time to play around setting up the photos.

An excellent collection. And yes, it is sad that photographers are harassed in more and more situations. I also find aeroplanes fascinating, but the chances to photograph them are becoming fewer and fewer...

An excellent aircraft shot, James. The angle of that starboard undercarriage might be a cause for concern!
I notice some light jaggedness around the wingtips - not sure if this is just my screen. I'd perhaps prefer just a little more space in front of the plane (or perhaps a little less behind) - just so that it doesn't look like it's leaving the picture...

Hi Alison. Xinjiang, especially around Kashgar where I took these photos, is a crossroads of civilizations. The borders with Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan are all quite close to Kashgar, and its not far off the Old Silk Road, so you can imagine that there has been a lot of interaction between different ethnicities in this region. These men don't look Chinese, and they also dont speak Chinese very well (if at all) since they speak Uighur.
This is one part of China where the Han Chinese are still trying to exert more control over.
Take care ~ James
