Landscapes from Qinghai, China

[Ong Kay Swee]

These are some of the landscape shots from my trip to Qinghai in China back in 2006. They were shot in color film with my X-pan and scanned with Epson V700. Some post processing was done in Photoshop to improve the color and contrast.

Hope you like them.

#1 - The Qinghai-Tibet railway.
This shot was taken in early May 2006 when it was newly completed and undergoing test runs.
The rail service commenced on 1 July 2006.

#2 - The Kunlun mountains.
The Qinghai-Tibet railway is visible as a black horizontal line about a third from the bottom of the picture.

#3 - The Kunlun Fault
This lake was formed from the fault resulted from an earthquake many years ago.

#4 - The Qinghai Nanshan mountain range
This mountain range is located somewhere south of the Qinghai Lake, China's largest saltwater lake.
The original color shot is not impressive so I decided to convert to b & w.

Thank you for viewing.

Asher, thanks for the encouraging words. Ong is my surname. We Chinese usually place the surname in front. You can call me Ong, as my friends do, or you can call me Kay Swee, either way it's ok.

the 2nd image is my favorite, it's beautiful! It almost looks like something out of parts of the American west desert areas!

Thanks for sharing
