Colourful Chinatown - a photo on Flickriver

Colourful Chinatown

Singapore's Chinatown is the traditional Chinese quarters of town. The area between Pagoda Street and Smith Street has been tarted up considerably for tourists, but workaday Chinatown continues south and east, merging seamlessly into the Central Business District. Unlike most of predominantly Hokkien Singapore, the dominant Chinese dialect in Chinatown is Cantonese.

The full frame advantage of taking this shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II? 24mm is actually equal to 24mm (and not 36mm) to give you a great wide angle.

This image is from a test shoot with the new 5D Mark II. There is so much more to say about this phenomenal camera but I am going to let the shooting do the talking as I start to use it :-)
