The Temple of Heaven
Webinar Class Soon – Need your help!
Can you help by filling out this survey? I’d like to know what you would want to get out of a photography webinar. What post-processing and HDR skills do you want to learn? How can I help you out?
I’m planning on this being a 3 week live online course. It will be 9 classes, one hour each. I’ve already got a lot planned, and I look forward to seeing what interests you the most.
What is a Webinar? It’s a live online class and all you need is internet! You’ll see me on video, I’ll share my screen, and it’s a very fun way to learn. And you’ll learn how to do photos like this…
Daily Photo – The Temple of Heaven
One too-early morning brought me to this very important place for the Chinese called The Temple of Heaven. It’s the most important Taoist structure in all of China and millions flock to it every year, especially during the National Holiday. It was built in the early 1400’s during the reign of the Yongle Emperor.
I was lucky to get private access in the morning during the sunrise. After waking up in the dark at the hotel, my driver took me out to the location, where I met one of the directors while members of the military let me inside the giant doors. Since it was a special celebration week, there were throngs of people waiting to get inside. I’m sure they were wondering what in the heck some white dude was doing busting through the doors with a giant tripod! I nodded to them all in a mysterious way before I went through the doors.
(btw, a few questions as to whether or not I photoshopped the moon there. The answer is no… I’m not one of those guys that will “photoshop in” something major like a moon.)
