Given the immense scale of the Olympics, it’s no surprise that the world has gone China-crazy at the moment!
Co-incidentally, I was watching the opening ceremony at the same time as I was working on the Asia section of the book. In particular, I was working on a scene from Yangshuo in China.
Shooting at pre-dawn would normally require a warming filter to correct for the ambient colour temperature. However, I felt a cooler scene naturally suited the slightly abstract form so I left the camera and Velvia (with a 1/3 of underexposure for a deeper blue) to entirely their own devices…
