| I had a few opportunities on night shots using high ISO, no tripod, it was challenging, especially when you have moving subject.
Shanghai
Tang Dynasty Stage Show in Xian, after a Imperial Dumpling Banquet, snapshot from a server.
All pictures without flash.
In Suzhou, ancient water gates.
Terra Cotta Army in Xian
Reflection in a Cave / Guilin
This was on a outdoor musical show, world's largest natural theater in Yangshou, played in the water, [Li River] with 600 performers, these are farmers during the day, they were trained for a year.
Light was pretty poor...so the shots
Hope you enjoy |

Thank you all!
I found some more from the ancient water gates, these are about 2500 years old. When going on this boat ride late evening and light raining, at first I wasn't too keen to go but later I was in aw, with all the decoration coming to light.

| All Very Nice, Konrad!! You did a fantastic job of capturing the lights! I like all of them. The Emperors Army is better than I've seen in the documentaries. Yours gives a better idea of the actual size of the place. It looked smaller on some of the TV shows I've seen. Thanks for sharing those great pics! Kt |

Thank you KT!
Yes...size is enormous, there are several pits and this one is only one part dug up and restored..allot is still in the ground and it was destroyed by rebels...maybe? There is still mysteries on this but it's breathtaking on the size. In the link there is one's theroy. I'll post some more later. |
Here is a link that might be useful: How did the qin terracotta warriors get burnt and destroyed?

Some of the pits, showing how they were dug up.
 
This ramp down was believed to be used to transport the figurines into the pit.
 In a replica factory..
 
This is a picture from a picture showing how the Chariots was found, it was then put together and some parts replicated.

| Love the shots from your trip. We just got back from a couple of weeks in Thailand. I never realized the pit in Xian were that large. Impressive! |

| Hi Konrad-What everyone has said plus the Canon 7D did great. Nice sharp pictures, and for night shooting performed well! Someday I'd like to have and try at least one Canon! |
