Early morning light and luminous colours -- IMHO the 28/3.5 and Provia 100
work very well here.

This is a very early morning photograph on the banks of the Yellow River
near Jinan, Shandong Province --  I persuaded a taxi driver to give me a
two hour tour at 545am. The morning light, filtered by an enormous layer of
fog (the sun couldn't be seen, and visibility was less than 1km), and influenced
by the river itself, was very soft and with a definite yellowish cast. I
like this one because it captures the light well. Taken with an old 55/1.2
(number 1 is an attempt to use this as a closeup lens, almost wide open).

These are the exercise rituals that one sees everywhere in China in the
early morning -- tai chi, dancing, and so on. In crowded cities, it's the
best time of the day.

Shanghai, early morning on the Bund (as is number 7).

That's odd. These were done a while ago with a combination of Unix
shell scripts, ImageMagick programs, and igal -- must have been a hiccup 
somewhere.
