have u been to Myanmar yet..


Newnikon brother!
Very beautiful shots! Those of the balloons were certainly stunning!
And your #14 of that boy climbing up (or down) U-Bein bridge was unique!
People would usually shoot those walking or cycling atop the bridge. But you wentlower down to shoot those below the bridge!


Thanks limhow. You are definitely going to enjoy yourself come Feb! Hmm... you may want to go light on the SBO.. some of the entrances and stairways in and out of the pagodas are really quite narrow..:think:

Thank you very much for letting me know.
Yupe, we all just had a briefing with Adrian on Myanmar.
What we'll do is we'll get one soldier to stay put at the foot of the hill and jaga all the SBO while the others cheong up to assault their targets with minimal weapon... hahaha...

Sure divinemoment, but not to worry, u have good captains (Adrian and Mel) onboard! But like i said earlier, remember to take time to enjoy those magical moments. It is as your nick suggest.
 

Indeed as newnikon said, it is magical. But be prepared there might be many "Sunrise chasers" too, securing a spot there might be a headache. See attached photo and you will understand what I meant.

now that's tough :) nice photos of myanmar !
 


is the above sharp enough in larger size? if it is, u can post larger pic.
i might have perculiar taste, but this is my fav among the thread. i think others may like the bagan sunrise silhouette more...., my guess.
 

Really Nice, beautiful photos. There are still have a lot of beautiful places in our country... :)

:bsmilie: there's still space if he/she take a low squatting/kneeling position. but kind of dangerous - no place to move.

Thanks for dropping by Zoossh. Actually, that was what the tourist suggested! Imagine that was before the light was out!
And no, Zoossh, perculiar is not what one would describe your taste:) The pic in bigger size u mentioned, i did contemplate but was not sure if the sun will be too bright for the overall pic and unnerving for the eye. Dont know how to compensate..:embrass:

 

No.19

scenes around Ubein bridge




No.20

the bridge can be quite an intoxicating place.. :lovegrin:

 

What a fantasic set of images. I just love the way you both have captured the essence as much as the views:thumbsup:.
It is wonderful to capture such images as they must help to stir your memories of your time in Myanmar. It has also provided me with a better insight. This is what imagery is all about. Thanks for sharing.:)
 

Captain Juker, this is a beautiful and memorable record shot of your team mates!
Great one!

Thanks Doc, I am sure the place will fascinate you as much as it do me and Newnikon. :)

Newnikon: Very impelling shot you got there in No. 18 :thumbsup:
