Someone sent me several very pretty pictures of rural China. If I were to post them all, it would make the post too long. So here are a few. When I was there, I saw terraced farms, though they weren't as beautiful as these pictures. I can tell these photos have been touched up (via Photoshop?).

I love language, which is why I started Metrolingua. I currently translate Japanese and French, but I've also translated Spanish, Portuguese, and German. I speak Japanese pretty well and am a native English speaker. I used to speak more languages, but I've been putting more of my energy into radio, which is drying up due to consolidation and syndication. I also teach English as a Second Language (ESL) to adults, which is really enjoyable.

There's some kind of weird focus technique you use to do pictures like this. I forget what it was, but maybe a combo of focusing on the wrong thing and using a longer exposure. It gives that added depth that makes it look more like a viewmaster slide. I forget where I saw it, but some site had a whole gallery of images like this.
Cool--I have no idea what technique it is, but it looks really neat. I'm just a simple-minded photo appreciator :)
Hey MJ - I have seen these photos elsewhere and have been trying to get in touch with the photographer.
Could you email me on karla.courtney@niche.com.au and let me know who put you on to them?
Cheers!
