Harbin- the freezing city(By Arthur)

Just a snap!

Again a snow world, this time have a totally different feeling, it is Harbin. It is really extremely cold, for around -15 to -30 Degree Celsius. Here is beautiful, but in a difference way than Hokkaido. A Chinese city having little feelings of Russia.

Colour, sharpness can be controlled by users in RAW

This time I have upgraded to Canon S90, with a larger aperture and wider 28mm than previous. This one is amazing, I really recommend it for learners. A better noise control and stabilizer as well, as least up to ISO 400 still acceptable. In this trip, it provided me a excellent chances to take RAW and learn and try about post processing, it is useful as the things done by the camera image processor may not be perfect.

Acceptable noise(320) at night withour a tripod

I am really happy this time is with S90, because with a more flexible setting on ISO and also a bigger aperture, night shots are quite successful, acceptable noise with sharp image.

This time I have first contact with the skill of light painting, a interesting skill but very  beautiful, by just using s mode and slow down the shutter speed to 10s or as long as I want.

Like magic
