Asian Images

Since most of my photos are taken in Asia, I thought that it might be a good idea to start a thread for Asian images. Nothing wrong with the Nikon forum where I've been posting photos for a couple of years now, but I don't really care what kind of hammer the carpenter who builds my house uses, as long as the end result provides shelter for me and... my cameras :rolleyes:

And that goes for photos as well I believe, more or less. So here we go, with a portrait of a real Siamese sailor, taken on a supply boat somewhere out in the Gulf of Siam.

D80 with 80-200 AF-S @ 200mm and f/3.2

And there's a lot more (especially from Japan) on my flickr:

That's a beautiful shot from Cambodia, Ray.

Kiri, the Hong Kong night skyline is a classic. I wonder why many times I've been standing there cursing myself for not bringing a tripod.

Very cool photos Ian(?), particularly the last two.

Here is one from Freezing Thailand around 06.00 hrs. this morning:

And of course, the longnecks of Mae Hong Song

Shot 15 years ago on an Olympus C-2020 which I think was a mighty 2mp job!

Considered a delicacy in Siem Reap, Cambodia these "edible" spiders are actually poisonous but de-fanged prior to cooking! Offered to tourists at the overland stop.

I settled for a bag of crisps!

Street urchins Angkor Wat Siem Reap Cambodia.

These kids are amazing. No schooling whatsoever; but take the little girl at the front: 8 years old and her sales pitch is to question where you are from and then she'll reel off the population, currency and capital city. I tried her on 6 different locations and she was bang on. The irony is they can all do it and usually in 7 different languages as well.

This shot cost me $12 dollars ($2 each) and, entertainment wise, was worth every dime.

Amazing Country and the friendliest people I've ever encountered.
