Nonetheless, here are the pictures..glad i brought a MF there :)

Shangrila 6x9 with Kodak 100VS
Out of 8 shots, 4 managed to came out well, i guess i may have mishandled the film the night before which resulted in some light leak on the slides.

Dali(大理) Foreigner street (洋人街)
We reached Dali near evening and by the time we reached the famous Foreigner street (洋人街), it was near dinner time. The slow pace of this street and the relaxing ambiance here captivates me.
A pity that i did not have enough time to glace thru the place and my R2A broke down causing me to miss out the chance to venture out the street once again after dinner.

丽江束河古镇 (Lijiang Shuhe ancient city)
Shuhe Old town, only 7 km away from Lijiang's Old Town, is another place protected as "World culture heritage site" in Lijiang City. It once was a significant town on the famous ancient Tea-horse Road in History, with an even longer history than the Lijiang Old Town.
It is an alternative to the bustling Lijiang. Shuhe is on the contrary extremely simpleminded and tranquil.
a welcome relief from the 'vanity' of Lijiang's beautiful women and lively nightlife.
A Rubbish Collector, who basically looks for recycling products thru each and every bin in the town.. I followed her for awhile and was surprised to know that the people here are very environmental friendly.
Horses and carriages for rent is one of the main tourist business in this little town.

Waiting for the next customer

Shangrila - Shika Snow Mountain (石卡雪山)
Shika Snow Mountain area, is located in the southwestern Shangri-La (Zhongdian), about 7km away from Shangril-La county
My anticipated trip to Shangrila's Shika snow mountain was arduous, the lack of oxygen at 4400m above sea level and the long journey was pretty taxing on my stamina. I was lucky to be spared from the altitude sickness that some of my tour mates experienced.
Compared to my Mount Bromo trip, this is even more tough. I was literally panting every few steps, gushing for air and the thought of reaching the peak to get the pictures was my only motivation to carry on.
Here are some of the pictures...its beautiful isnt it.
This place is very near to Tibet, as such, its main religion is the Tibetan Buddhism
Greeted at the foot of the mountain...the Indian Azalea (杜娟花). Was told that the leaves is poisonous..therefore not many people dare to pluck it.
On the way up from 3300m to 4200m
Was lucky to still see snow while Summer is approaching..was so excited with my first experience that i didnt even feel the cold holding the snow with my bare hands
The long walk to the other end of the mountain.
It was worth every single effort for this scenery...glad i made it to the summit..

Successful 6x9 shots with Ercona
Seems like the Ercona got itself alot of attention from me...judging from the past 3 entries.
Well, my last experience with Ercona wasn't that satisfied even though i managed to get 1-2 pictures correct.
I have to admit that I did not prepare myself well the last round before bringing the camera on street to shoot. No research was done on zone focusing and motion blur(due to pressing the shutter too hard) killed most of the pictures.
I was determined to get this right prior my trip to China so I started reading up zone focusing and i did a zone focusing chart for my reference.
On Labour Day, i took the camera out on street again but this time, i tried shooting a little slower... Here's the results...seems like i nailed it...
Its pretty impressive for a lens that old...
I realised that the viewfinder seems to be slightly inaccurate in terms of the subject height. I guess, i might need to compensate it myself but lowering the camera a little more..
