The Terracotta Warriors are an amazing archaeological finding and was one of my highlights on a trip to China. The Emperor commisioned these warrior sculptures of his army to “protect” him in the afterlife. Each of the 1000′s of warriors are unique. One of the best meals of the trip had proceeded our arrival here. However, the meal and I did not agree and what was to be a several hour tour (and many,many photos) consisted of me snapping a couple of shots and heading quickly outside.

Photographer: Ronnie Glover (Gig Harbor, WA, USA)
Photography took a backseat while Ronnie obtained his college degree. After graduation, he purchased his first camera but was unable to produce the images that he saw in his mind. He then took a few continuing education class to learn the technical aspects of the camera and realized there was so much more to learn about photography. So Ronnie enrolled in the professional program at Southeastern Center for the Arts in Atlanta. The school was operated by Jeanne & Neil Chaput de Saintonge, who currently operate Rocky Mountain School of Photography. He spent 14 years living in Alaska and this gave him unbelievable opportunities to experience nature and capture many images. Ronnie also enjoy travel photography and the experience of different cultures. It is his wish that his images will expose others to the beauty of nature and other cultures. He invites everyone to enjoy his gallery and feel free to contact him with any comments.

During the summer months Beijing can get very hot and can also be very dry. Due to this the Summer Palace is a great place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city – its is also only a subway stop away! You can also get the boat from Beijing Zoo all the way to the Summer Palace. As I walked down this corridor you could see many couples dancing away to an iPod in that far shelter – it was pretty cool to see.
I took this during a one month language program in July 2009.

Technical Info: Canon 400D, EFS 17 – 85mm f/4 – 5.6; 17mm, f/9, 1/15, ISO 100, 0ev

Photograph Location: Beijing | China
Photographer: Benjamin Lee (Hong Kong)
Born in Tokyo, raised in Hong Kong and with the annual trip back to the UK in the summer Benjamin Lee was instilled with a desire to travel from an early age. Early adventures included locations both East and West and when, at 21 he received a DSLR he got cracking on recording his own exploits.
He has always considered himself as a visual learner with a good memory for places and events and he thoroughly enjoy traveling and experiencing new locations. Whenever he look through the lens he is always looking to capture the scene as he experiences it.
He is currently living in Hong Kong however he spends a fair amount of time working in different locations around Asia and Europe. I would classify himself as an observant photographer (if there’s such a category) because he is always trying to capture what he sees around him, whether it’s landscapes, urban landscapes or candid street shots.
