Old subject, new slant. Ha Yeung is my village.

Hi Don

Your temple picture is beautiful.
Well taken in difficult lighting conditions
with light from more than one source.

I personally would like to see it without the 'new slant'.
Because of the way our brains work probably most
viewers will be tilting their heads to the right to
register the detail of your fine image, right way up.

If I have time, I'll try to take another shot. What I've tried to do here is add geometry to a familiar subject.

What I neglected to include was some information:
Canon PowerShot G2
Shutter speed: 1.3 sec
Aperture: 6.3
Image quality: Raw

Thanks for taking the time to write.

I guess the writing in the temple means the good wil and right-doings of their ancestors will be remembered and sung in the future.

Thanks for that, Griffin.

It's now official... I went back to the temple, shot another "half roll" in normal unslanted mode, and they range from ordinary to terrible. I guess people will have to look at this one half-cocked.
