People of Myanmar

Myanmar, the people are beautiful and the colours very nice.

This first picture was taken in Shwe Inn Dein

This woman was meditating (and taking the sun) in the sacred Mount Popa. The entire mountain is a temple and is full of monkeys. Being a temple you are supposed to remove your shoes and since it's full of monkeys it means that you must be comfortable to step on their poo multiple times.... ;-)

The people are very comfortable with the camera. This little girl actually asked me to take a picture of her and was very interested to see the results.

I took several pictures of this woman but this one where you can see the entire hat is my favourite.

Mahagandhayon Monastery located in Amarapura is one of the largrest buddhist monasteries in the world. Every day hundreds of Monks queue to receive the food donation on which they live. This picture is from inside one of the schools for the younger monks.

One of the markets in Yangon, I really liked the blue background.


Geisha in Higashiyama

5s-7.jpg

Higashiyama Ward is the historic quarter of Kyoto. The entire area is from the 15th century and has been maintained painstakingly.

The temples are majestic, the streets calm and peaceful (when not full of tourists).

This pic is of a Geisha and her apprentice Maiko.


Big Guys in Serengeti

Serengeti is huge, we went with the wilderbeasts migration which is a huge fenomenon with millions of animals that move from one part of Serengeti to the other following the rain. Together with them there are lions, cheetas, vultures, etc.

This pic is of the tallest animal.

And this of the largest. I tried to capture the rugged skin of the Elephant but it does not make it justice.


Fisherman in Inle Lake

Myanmar, Inle Lake. The fishermen there still use a very traditional way of rowing (using their feet) and fishing (trapping the fish with a bamboo net and then killing them with an handmade harpoon).

This man's skin was like rugged paper.



View from 5895m

-14 degrees, wind @ 20km/h, walking since 2am up from 4,700m to 5,895m ... why?

Because of the view.

From Kilimanjaro Rongai route.

This is a smaller peak within the complex

Small Observer

5s-20.jpg

Lucky pic in Serengeti, Tanzania. Small observer presiding over a giraffe.


Open Exposure in Maldives

5s-29.jpg

After a long day of diving, a welcomed sunset in Velassaru, Madives.

By the way the resort is amazing and relatively cheap compared to the rest of Maldives.

Here I tried to leave the exposure open for a while to freeze the sea... not sure of the result!


Donggung Palace

5s-28.jpg

Donggung Palace is an amazing place. I went few times, even with cherry blossom, but this pic in the evening is the one I like the most.


Train Ride in Sri Lanka

5s-27.jpg

While visiting Sri Lanka we decided to try and take the train among 2 cities. This was a British colonial-era-train, all in wood. The trip was extremely tiering for the noise, the vibrations and the smog. But we took some nice pictures on the way.

Hi @photofeedback, thank you for the message.

I have been taking pictures for maybe 10 years when I travel. I use a cheap reflex (before an EOS 450D and an Alpha6000 now).

I will read through and leave you some comments. Thanks!

Thanks a lot man, appreciate it a lot!

The train ride was the most memorable for me when I was there for 9 days. The food, not so much. The scenery, heck yeah.

Hahaha, the food is a bit repetitive ... where else did you go during your trip? I did Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Sigiriya and Dambulla.

Wow so candid I loved all these shots! I totally want to visit now.

Thank you!!

WoW! i like all the places you have been. I love traveling too.
My dream is to try to visit as many countries as i can!

I'm preparing a n article about my trip in Morocco.

Thanks!!

I agree that's also on my bucket list!

I never been to Morocco, I'm sure it's a nice place!

Please have a look and join me too☺️☺️😊

Thank you!!

Found this post through @trafficmonitor. Some great reportage style shots here - its refreshing to see some damned fine shots. The hat and the monk ones are by far and away the best of the bunch in my opinion.

Ive also done the 5895, and yeah... that view

You have a really great way of capturing people especially I feel! All of your photos have a lot of emotion and meaning in them. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see more.

amazing pics i like all the pics because i cannot seen before the Myanmar people and their culture also i like the greenery because there are few places where we see the trees in a bunch and the nature is also amazing

Thank you very much for the encouraging comment!

Amazing! Very artistic :D
I love Kyeongju too. The night view is sunning.
