Travel Photography – Cambodian River Folk
A wizened couple going up stream in a small old beat up boat. What interested me in this capture was the expressions on their faces. But now I am intrigued by the boat which is cleared powered by a motor but not with an outboard engine. It appears that all the boats in this configuration are outfitted with inboard engines with hidden rudder controls.
Travel Photography – Uninhibited
There is something about being young and carefree. Not having a worry in the world. Frolicking in the sun and water. Kind of a Huckleberry existence. As an overly concerned parent, I would worry about parasites and dangers lurking in the water – not in the least crocodiles, snakes and other poisonous animals… Civilisation has certainly wrung out the desire to be adventurous and being carefree.
Photo Notes: Taken with EOS 7D & EF70-200 f4 IS L. As I was photographing from on board a powered motor boat the images needed to be shot at continuous high speed to avoid camera shake as well as get a few in proper composition. Â Fortunately the blazing hot sun helped with faster frame speeds.
Street Photography – Dark Alley
On the last day of my trip to Hanoi in March 2011 I noticed that the alley ways in the Old District all had differing uses and sizes. Some were wide enough for cars to get through while many are just about three body lengths wide allowing motorbikes and lots of wires and clothes hanging out of windows. This one alley I chanced upon was just dimly lit bare concrete with no windows and hardly any light flowing through but a small doorway on the right about 20 feet into the alley. I just happen to have my camera in hand when this boy came out of the shadows with his bicycle and he stopped just for a moment to snap this and he disappeared back into the darkness .
