I'm not 100% sure that these three buildings in Shanghai are called “The Three Sisters” but I will continue to call them that because I like the ring of it. They are three of the tallest building in Shanghai, and they're all clustered together in Pudong. This photo was really difficult to take because it was raining at the time… it's not exactly easy to keep the rain off your lens when you're aiming straight up! I could only go as wide as 24mm here, and I wish I would have had a lens that let me get down to 12mm or so, as I think it would be a much more impressive shot. Still, it's okay, I think.

I decided to go a little HDR crazy. I hope that's okay. I still do that on occasion, and it seems to suit the magical place where the hobbits live here in New Zealand. It's now a very very touristy place, but I still recommend going there. You get enough time to snap photos and then head down to the hobbit's pub and have some grog. I remember when we were here making the Lightroom tutorial and we stayed in that pub almost all night long. I think by the end, we each had a gallon of grog and the productivity spiraled down to about zero.
I see more and more of this all over Queenstown and Arrowtown. It always cracks me up for some reason. Chinese couples pose for some of the hokeyist photos I've ever seen. This one isn't as bad as others, but you can see the photographer there with the hoodie on. His hoodie is over his head to show you how artsy he is. All the photographers are all pieces of work too… often dressed extravagantly and carrying on like some kind of a rock star.
