Photographing the sunrise

Lion Peak (Shizi Feng) is one of the best places to photograph the sunrise in Huangshan National Park, so it is unbelievably crowded starting from the pre-dawn when photographers (predominantly Chinese) arrive to stake out their territory . In this image, taken from another viewpoint in the early morning light you can still see a few peopleat the top of the peak (best larger)

    I wonder if that long steep stairway we saw a few days ago is how the photogs got up there??? Doesn't look like an easy drive to the top! ;-)

    The people at the top have amazing views, but I can't imagine the gut-wrenching feeling from looking down from atop!

    Fantastic shot. I believe we're all familiar with what avid photographers the Japanese are as a nation, at least those who come to the USA (and Canada, I presume) as tourists. I would have guessed the same to be true of the Chinese, if I'd ever thought about it. But this raises a question. What makes of camera equipment do serious Chinese photographers favor. To they go with ones made by Japanese-based companies? Do they have home-grown Chinese makes that haven't yet made it big in North American markets?
