I like to travel to see other part of the world that I've never seen, but sometimes, it's good to go back to the roots, that's what exactly what I will do, I will visit the land of my ancestor, the Middle Kingdom - China. My trip will begin from the capital city, Beijing, and continue to the extreme west part of China - Urumqi, Xinjiang, continue to Kashgar, and ended up at China's cosmopolitan - Shanghai.
I've been prepared my camera bag with my "can't live without" camera - Canon EOS 5D mark II, plus some lenses like EF 15mm f1.8 (Fish eye), EF 16-35mm f2.8L USM, EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM, and EF 70-300mm DO IS USM (to reduce the weight of my backpack, I have to leave my EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM behind). And for in case of emergency, I have my G11 with me in my pocket.
For now, I am in my train from Sion to Geneve Airport. I write to you all again later on today, during my transit in Charles De Gaule (if I have time LOL), otherwise, talk to you from Beijing.

Arts of Venetian's Masks
The arts of taking pictures of Venetian's masks, is the sharpness of the eyes. Since you can't really see the real expression behind the mask, then only part of the face of the model which is communicate with your camera is his/her eyes.
But there are also other things to consider when you want to take your picture, other thing that is also take an important role is the background, make sure you don't have other "eye-catching" color at the background or objects that might be disturb your picture (such as trash can, people, etc).
Taken with my lens EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM, shutter speed 1/20, aperture 5.6, focal length 45mm, ISO 800

Carnaval d'Annecy
Just came back from Annecy after spending the weekend with my family and friends. For you information, there were a Carnaval ala Venetian at Annecy during the weekend 26-28 February 2010, and some of the costumes who took part on Carnevale di Venezia also there to take part on this carnaval.
This is the first time I came to Carnaval d'Annecy, I can't say that it's bad, but it still can not be compared to Venice. Venice has it's own magic to turn the normal carnaval becomes an extraordinary thing.
But with those superb costumes hanging around the lake and castle at Annecy, it turn that should be calm and old town becomes a city full of colors and life. I would like to thanks my "costumes" friends who were so willing to spend time with me, even under the rain, and even let Regina to use them as an exercise to learn to take picture ;)
