Threshing the Highland Barley

During our photography expedition to the Dongchuan Hongtudi (东川红土地) region of Yunnan Province (云南省), we took one aftrenoon the explore Huigou Village (花沟村) where we were staying. It was the harvesting season for the highland barley, so there were many famalies in the village threshing for the grains. We were not hindered by the roaring machine and dust but just concentrated on the composition of the photos. However, all of us ended up with dust all over our body.

The Milky Way at Huagou Village

When we were staying at the hostel of Huigou Village (花沟村) of the Dongchuan Hongtudi (东川红土地) region at the Yunnan Province (云南省), we were waken up by our tour leader just after midnight for a photography opportunity. Although all of us were still half asleep, we woke up and grabbed our gear and began to explore the village for a shooting location. Once we had found one, we did not hesitate but set up our camera and started shooting. It was all worthwhile to sacrifice and good night sleep for a photography opportunity like this.
