I was using an Olympus E-300 in the sunset program which highlights the reds/orange. It wasn't that orange in real life. Neat effect hey!

Regardless of effects, they truly are excellent pictures. Makes me want to go out and buy a new camera. Unfortunately i can't afford one.

That Olympus E-300 is a nice piece of kit, I like the sunset program.
The details in the pictures are pin sharp.

Nice scallions! How did you get the veggies to look so green?

I'm just a lucky mofo, they brought the extra green ones that day.

Great photos. Just looked thru again. Sure makes me lonesome for Laos.

Very nice photos! Thanks for sharing!

wow

thats an awsome sunset. i too have some picture of my trip to Laos, but nothing quiet like those

Yes - excellent stuff, thanks for sharing. I also have some photos of a trip to Laos taken earlier in the year, they'd fit under your thread title quite nicely but don't come up to the same standard. I've been meaning to post them for months now!

Would it be considered a hijacking of the thread if I posted some photos here? Maybe WujouMao would like to join as well . . . ?

i was thinking of the same thing matey! whether to start a new thread, or just reply. do you mind Earl?

Post your pics WM this thread is for misc laos pics feel free to post.

Okay - here goes - one at a time . . .

I was told that this "stone jungle" in the valley is so inaccessible that unknown species and possibly tribes are believed to be down there!

My best attempt at a dramatic night shot! This is at a station of a hydropower dam.

Good start Junior

My trip to Laos was june 2006. we crossed over from thailand into the capital with our 15 day stamp. headed up north, back down to capital, and then south towards cambodia.

cute girl with a flower. my Aussie mate said the plant makes you see things and too much of it blinds you.


Luang Prabang








this Black Tai village was heaving when we rocked up, but i guess they dont like strangers


our bus driver has a bit of an accident!




shame the woman is walking away from the camera




found these beauties in a Lao market.


the Plain of Jars




funny episode with this. there were 2 bridges, the other one more stable than this. my Aussie friend and i walked happily across it when i turned round and saw them taking extra care crossing, when i said, 'there's a proper bridge over there'! they froze with fear lol




cart of lime


road stop snacks


Tat Fan twin waterfall


i don't remember this waterfall, but i have the Lao name of it in another photo


Khmer Wat Phu Champasak




The Great Mekong


novel way to catch fish, Mekong

Good pics them WM

Great photos WujouMao. Could have done without the canine category, interesting shot all the same! Really like the Plain of Jars shots and especially like the waterfalls shots.

I don't think I have any more that are good enough for this thread . . . maybe I'll just lower the tone!

Nice pictures fellas and particularly from Mr Earl.

When I'm reloaded I'll shoot some smileys your way.

Thanks for the effort one and all!
