Or I should say that it is a composite. He took photos from two locations that were close to each other and merged them together into one image in Photoshop. I am the first to say that the result is stunning. I was drawn to this photo from the first time I saw it, but it would have been nice to know that the photo is a composite and the actual location does not exist. I was very disappointed when I discovered this.Timhttp://www.facebook.com/timshieldsphotographynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847708167968314113.post-73329742083764959152016-03-23T14:36:14.690-07:002016-03-23T14:36:14.690-07:00@mcl I have spent a considerable amount of time st...@mcl I have spent a considerable amount of time studying Trey Ratcliff's photo of Guilin. It is not real. He took two photos and merged them into one. He then inverted the final image. The photos were taken from the Cuiping Hill area, but they are not one image. He even inserted the tall mountain into the middle background.Timhttp://www.facebook.com/timshieldsphotographynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847708167968314113.post-82372626389496983382016-02-16T21:22:33.767-08:002016-02-16T21:22:33.767-08:00wow, knowing that in advance would have saved me a...wow, knowing that in advance would have saved me a lot of time. :) I had a feeling that something was weird when I got to the top of the hill. <br /><br />Anyways, thanks so much for your tips!mclhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114465937589408779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847708167968314113.post-63645247607829467802016-02-16T12:55:37.670-08:002016-02-16T12:55:37.670-08:00Great, I would like to see your photos.

I wanted to ask, do you know where this image was captured? <br />http://41.media.tumblr.com/4b17c060570993ee0c0ddc2d73999e54/tumblr_nflaoai9k51s32qjwo1_1280.jpg<br /><br /> it looks very similar but the perspective and landscape is a bit different. If you have any idea I'd very much appreciate any input you might be able to share!mclhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114465937589408779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847708167968314113.post-38232586845744791252016-02-14T05:54:27.056-08:002016-02-14T05:54:27.056-08:00Much appreciated :)Much appreciated :)mclhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114465937589408779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847708167968314113.post-51760105253963048182016-02-14T04:03:22.360-08:002016-02-14T04:03:22.360-08:00Hi, the path start from the small Cuiping village....Hi, the path start from the small Cuiping village. On the main road before, you can ask at the little market, just side the school. The lady knows that or can find a guide for you.

They are realy well documented and the photos are great ! I think that the photo on the right bar is taken from Shikou village or around (Is it from Mashan Mt. ?) that you describe in this trek. Is the acces to the top easy ?<br /><br />Hopefully we can meet in Yangshuo next time you visit. It would be a pleasure to share our experiences.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Sergesergenoreply@blogger.com
