Day 3.

I think travel to Guilin, sit on a bamboo raft, look at them chocking a bird, silk 'museum', circus, and hotel.

[12. I've found red marijuana]




[13. It grows on TREES!!!]





[14. Circus.. Using the fast 50mm, open all the way to f/1.8 and with the exposure compensation set to -2.0 till -3.33 in Matrix metering more, able to take some photos of the circus with ISO of lower than 800. ]




[15. Most of the pictures here are taken in Aperture Priority mode to keep the f/1.8, since all I want is the sharpness in the center]





[16. Most of the stage lighting are pretty bright, hence, lower ISO can be used. Just set Auto-ISO to forget about the ISO setting.]






[17. Set to Program/Professional Mode or Aperture Priority Mode and forget about Exposures. Enjoy the show and capture the moment. ]





[18. Hotel Room in Guilin. Best part, the tub is clean. Too bad the mattress is as stiff as the concrete slab]




[19. All China have is tea, no coffee... =(  ]
