Shooting in the Huntongs
I upgraded my blog's infrastructure last week to Virtual Dedicated Servers from a shared server environment. I hope you have noticed and are enjoying the increased performance. I know I am as uploading images and writing posts is much faster for me now! I hosted a photowalk last Sunday while in Beijing in the Huntongs.

We were chatting a bit on using a shallow depth of field. I love the isolation I can get with my Noctilux... You can see his noise and chin are in focus but everything else is gradually thrown out of focus.
