Fishing Girl

Siem Reap, Cambodia
Panasonic LX3 | ISO 80 | 1/250 sec | F/4.0

One of my favourite images from the trip to Cambodia. I was eyeing this little girl fishing on a rooftop while shooting some HDR frames with my main camera on a tripod. I took over a dozen images of her on my point and shoot before I finally captured the silhouette I had in mind…

Ghost of Prison 21

Tuol Sleng Museum, Phnom Pen, Cambodia
Canon EOS 40D | ISO 100 | 17mm | 1 sec | F/22

Security Prison 21 was once a simple Phnom Pen’s high school. During Pol Pot’s regime in the mid-70’s, it became the largest centre of detention and torture in the country. More than 17,000 people of its prisoners were taken to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. Prsin 21 has now been turned into the Tuol Sleng Museum to remember this dark piece of Cambodian history…

On the Khlong

Amphawa Floating Market, Thailand
Canon EOS 40D | ISO 100 | 50mm | 1/50 sec | F/2.8

Amphawa is considered by many to be a much more ‘authentic’ floating market. Despite not being on the main tourist track, it is becoming increasingly popular especially with visitors from Thailand and Asia at large.

Sunset Over the Rice Paddy

Siem Reap, Cambodia
Canon EOS 40D | ISO 100 | 13mm | F/22

Our friend and guide Lim Leangsreng took us to this rice paddy on the outskirts of Siem Reap for one of the many spectacular sunsets we experienced while in the area… The sun may set fast at that latitude — but it does it with a bang!

Canon EOS 40D | ISO 250 | 50mm | 1/100 sec | F/6.3

Another image from the back alley shoot at the David Nightingale’s CreativeLIVE workshop last week-end and a clear departure from my normal style! The shot was setup by Nick Wray who was directing the model. Post-production was inspired by Michael Regnier‘s work as showcased in Chromasia’s “Working with Textures” online tutorials.

 

In My Hands

Canon EOS 40D | ISO 250 | 50mm | 1/6400 sec | F/1.4

Another image from the David Nightingale’s CreativeLIVE workshop last week. This one from the back alley shoot on the first afternoon. The setup was unusual for me as it involved directing a model — but I was quite happy with the retro look of the final image.

Eugene

Captured in the back alley behind the CreativeLIVE Studio in Seattle. The shot is an outtake from the David Nightingale (of Chromasia fame – http://www.chromasia.com) workshop on Dramatic Post-Processing. I couldn’t use the shot in the session’s recording without a signed model release from Eugene.
