Angkor Wat

Just returned to Saigon after a quick trip to Cambodia. Here are some images from Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom in Siem Reap Cambodia. The first is a black and white silhouette of Angkor Wat. The sun was rising behind making it a good time to shoot this image. Notice the blocks that make up the face, each cut separately and then assembled like a jigsaw puzzle. Amazing!

Urban Scape 2-Night

I find the Bitexco building intriguing. It dominate the Saigon skyline. Should you find yourself lost in Saigon, look for the Bitexco. It can be seen from just about anywhere a wandering tourist my go. Often as I drive in non tourist areas I can still see the Bitexco, I am never far from working my way back to familiar roads.
Last evening I headed out exploring for good vantage points to shoot the Saigon skyline. I stopped here and was quite pleased with the leading lines, traffic blurs and the lit Bitexco in the background.

Urban Scapes

I've decided to re-juice my enthusiasm for urban photography. I am starting a new project featuring city-scapes of Saigon Vietnam. Here is my first entry. I shot this HDR image with my Nikon D700, handheld in mid morning sun. I used Photomatix software combining three shots at 0, +2 and -2 exposure. I was quite surprised and pleased with the results. Let me know what you think!
