UPDATE: For Vista users Type of VPN can be changed trhough Networking tab
There ar eno mentioned criteria in the security bar. Have manually checked all the bars, but didn`t find option with encryption and PPTP protocol. Has never done it before.
Could you please assist me a bit? Otherwise connection to the server aborts.
@Charlie, what’s the exact model of your camera, which lenses have you got and what’s the overall financial value?
@Seabass, can you make some photos of military vehicles?

You know, Ben, love does not have any restrictions. I
m 24 only, but it does not mean I cant date 25-35 years old Caucasian woman. Right? Take me 🙂 Lol ))@ Merior, you seem to be quite well equipped. What`s your major for photos? Do you publish your works? Looking forward to see some
Hm, seems like on the link you have provided, mine Tamron 17-50 lens is estimated as 8.9, which is quite impressive. Meanwhile user rating is 9.1. At the same time it costs a way chepaer than alternative Canon lenses.
Forgot to mention that also I have Samyang 8mm fisheye, which I ahve bought for 300 euro. I believe that it`s performance is quite good.
The only issue I have experienced till now with 70-200 on 500D camera is that it takes at some points quite a lot time to focus and sharpness may suffer a lot. However with upgrade to 7D camera, 70-200 Tamron performs 3 times better. WOndering what would be the result with L-series of Canon 70-200. Anyway, Photoshop helps a lot 🙂

Any idea whether it’s safe to show up for making some photo shots? What’s the attitude of police in China towards photographers?
Use google to look for job possibilities abroad. This is how I travel for the last 6 years. At the given moment you may be interested in “work and study” opportunities. Meaning that employer will pay for your studies, meanwhile you will be working for the company. Actually I`m not aware whether such programmes are still actual, however when I was 18 that was my first ticket abroad. Companies who offer such opportunities charge fee, of course. Try Sweden.. extremely expensive country with according salaries and outstanding social guarantees. They are quite warm for the foreigners. If one day I come back to Europe (which is least likely), Sweden will be one of the few options.
Usually I use telephoto lens, in majoir part of cases they don
t even see me, which in fact allows me to capture their sincere emotions. Sometimes I have chance only for one shot, then I get spotted and people hide. Last Sat one vendor threw pineapple at me and was swearing me all the way, till I disappeared from the street. Sometimes, if I see that person doesnt mind at all, I can ask him to pose for me, like the elder man with a fan. Smile, politeness and some Chinese may help you a lot. Apart from that you have to be quite aggressive: to spot, to decide and not to mind possible consequences – the main points for me. Much easier with children. Parents in 99% don`t mind. Only once I was aksed not to publish photos.Thank you once again for all your critics, feedback and suggestions.
Meanwhile I have reviewed some of the processing and positioning techniques – http://photoslav.net/china-2013-photogallery – there are like 15-20 new (made with new camera) and re-processed photos. Would be great to hear your opinion now.
P.S. flash player is required to display the gallery properly.
Now I feel double lucky about working on public holidays. Any chance such party will take a place in the nearest future again?
Sold.
Julio, Mike and Federico, thank you very much for your interest, but the camera was sold almost the same moment as the topic was posted. Sorry for not updating before.
At the given moment there is beginning, but definitely very talented artist in Chengdu, who charges only 300 RMB. As soon as she gets clientelle, the price will go up. I made a tattoo there last Sunday, and I`m complitely satisfied with the quality.
Whoever has Weibo can check her works : http://weibo.com/jarriane
Instagram: Jarriane. I gave her the piture I want to transfer to my body, but the sketch she made was 3 times better. She has her own vision, passion and suggestions – there is nothing more I can say, but I will come back within next couple of weeks.
She makes tattoo at her home. 13699434614 – her phone number.
