Wow, I haven't given much thought to going to China, but I must say your pics are making me jealous.

Great shot Leo...is this taken with an iphone app?

Lorraine Lorio

Wow Leo. Cool. Guess it's more about the camera you have on you than the camera that's the best :)

Looks like you're having a great trip so far. Soak it all in. BTW, thanks for posting such great pics!

I'd like to know how that picture was taken too. If on an iPhone, with what app?

The most impressive thing I found was the sheer size of the Forbidden City. On our first night in Beijing last year we bumped into the place and decided to walk around part of it, knowing it was big it was still 3 times larger than we expected.

Some photos I took at that time:

You are using AutoStitch,Hint= I crop the top&bottom & tweak with iPhoto before publishing.

@rpmahoney: I think that Leo is uploading these with iPhone so there isn't crop tool for iPhone.. or is there?

A visitor

Actually there is.. Crop'n'Frame app for iPhone... hmm I should try that... and Leo too ;)

A visitor

Nice fading-of-the-people-effect.

amazing place ... Tian'anamen Square is amazing too. If you get a chance, Wuxi is beautiful.

Also Cropulator app for iPhone.

I think the ghostly images make the photo even more interesting.

Do you think the Chinese government has any idea the high-tech tourist they've got on the loose? <grin>

You're awesome for getting me a glimpse of this Forbidden City. And wow, they let you in.
