Photobucket
[22. Them Chinese, they like to color their night scenes... ]




Photobucket
[23. All of these night scene photos were taken hand held, either with the 50mm f/1.8 or the 18-105mm. ISO at 800 till 1000, with the exposure compensation set at -1.33 EV in Matrix Mode. Why Matrix? Cause center weighted would need you to lock on the exposure, which is harder.]




Photobucket
[24. Hmm... "Sun" stars from the 50mm straight blade.. Makes the picture more natural and awesome!]




Photobucket
[25. The second most extravagant 5 star hotel in Guilin showing the man made waterfall, which opens for 5 minutes everyday at 8.30 am and pm. ]




Photobucket
[26. Night market on the streets of Guilin, literally the on the road]




Photobucket
[27. This shot was hand held too, for 1/1.6s or 0.625s. Cold air makes people shiver, so forgive the minor camera shake. ISO 1600. Though, the blurry-ness could be also due to diffraction at f/25. ]
