Another set of superb pics.
TD has its fair share of photographers...... Maybe there should be a TD pictorial guide to SE Asia.

I hate that comment

Someone spends years mastering their art and and learning the intricacies of exposure, depth of field, focal lengths, and framing. They know that early morning light is often the best so they drag themselves out of bed at the crack of dawn and by a combination of skill, craft and a smidgen of good luck, followed by judicial cropping and printing, carefully selecting their prime images instead of inflicting every image they have ever taken on us, they achieve the ultimate accolade; 'You must have a good camera'.

In fact most of the pictures look like something the average zoom compact could achieve if they have a manual setting. Liked the one of sunset on the bridge, was that from one of them Kodak Photo Points?

Was very high praise indeed and well deserved. Composition and lighting subject matter and a handful other variable combined properly to provide us with a wonderful pictorial.
The post simply pointed out that no camera, no matter how good, can take these kind of shots with out a talented, maybe passionate photographer. Was giving credit where credit is due. What we being offered, is just fantastic photography.

Yes and sorry, you are very right ... I didn't read it properly and misinterpreted your point ... can I blame lack of sleep and way too much beer chang ... I am in fact very surprised that I was able to type at that stage. A more sober WK commends you on a great post.

I have a friend who went to Burmah and made it back alive so I have been considering it for a breakaway.

Great photos there by the way.

Amazing pics. I wish I had seen this sooner. Seems like Burma really has a lot on Thailand in terms of beauty.
