luanova Posted February 9, 2010 at 06:48 AM Report Posted February 9, 2010 at 06:48 AM I'm starting this thread so that I might get to know some of the photography enthusiasts in Beijing. There are so many great places to shoot around the city, and it would be great to go with some fellow photographers so I don't feel guilty about forcing my friends to accompany me when I know they don't want to stay at one place for too long. So please feel free to introduce yourself and what you're interested in doing around Beijing, photography-wise. If you have experiences and stories to share about shooting around the city, please share, by all means I'm here till this summer, at least, currently residing at Tsinghua University. I majored in Art in the States, but have only taken a couple of Photo classes. Right now I have a Canon Rebel XTi mounted with a Sigma 17-70 mm lens, and I mostly mess around indoors, but would love to take some good scenery and landscapes in the future. Looking forward to hearing from more of you! Quote
bianfuxia Posted February 11, 2010 at 06:23 AM Report Posted February 11, 2010 at 06:23 AM I'm here another 6 weeks then probably back after the summer. I enjoy roaming the streets with my camera. Last year I rented a small room and built a darkroom. But I dismantled it while away over Christmas because the street was being chai'd (it was still standing when I got back though). I'd be happy to hang out on a photo day. My main interest is "people in their environment" (because I hate the term "street photography"). Quote
luanova Posted February 11, 2010 at 07:12 AM Author Report Posted February 11, 2010 at 07:12 AM Well, Chinese Batman, I say we meet up for some coffee and walk around a little early March, when it's a wee bit warmer I'll be away in Tokyo till 2/28, and I'll PM you with some info if you're interested Quote
greenarcher Posted February 11, 2010 at 11:08 AM Report Posted February 11, 2010 at 11:08 AM Me. But so far all my shots were of malls The Place, The Village, Shin Kong Place, Seasons Place, Scitec Outlet, Solana, etc. What I can I say, I love malls. Quote
cui ruide Posted February 11, 2010 at 04:14 PM Report Posted February 11, 2010 at 04:14 PM If you're on flickr, I believe there's also a group called "Beijing Flickr Meet-up" where folks can get together to take some photos. Quote
schwanja Posted March 7, 2010 at 04:16 PM Report Posted March 7, 2010 at 04:16 PM Hey, I will (hopefully) start my internship in Beijing in April. I also love photography, are you still looking for "partners"???? Quote
luanova Posted March 7, 2010 at 04:37 PM Author Report Posted March 7, 2010 at 04:37 PM Yup, especially now that spring is near. Please PM me when you are in Beijing and we can go wander the city with our large cameras, hopefully Quote
schwanja Posted March 7, 2010 at 08:31 PM Report Posted March 7, 2010 at 08:31 PM Ok, see you in Beijing Quote
