Nha Trang Fishing Port - Nha Trang - Vietnam

(MUST CLICK ON PHOTO TO SEE DETAIL)

This is my last morning to take photos in Vietnam, so I really made myself get up to take this photo I scouted out the day before. I woke up the mother of the family run hotel at 4:45am to let me out of the building.
I waited until the sun rose, shining the first rays of light over the harbour, with five hugely bemused locals crowded around my tripod seeing what I was taking photos of. I started to explain the importance of aperture and they quickly moved on.
The selling of squid and dried fish became more intense, the 1 second exposure gives the movement needed to give the viewer a sense of being there.
This photo is six photos stiched together to make a 72 megapixel print.

My Last day in Nha Trang before heading back to England. I took this photo of a Vietnamese "Round Basket Boat" after taking the landscape shot uploaded next. I headed down to the market on the right of the photo to see what I could find and this was the result.

A quick private boat tour around the fishing villages around Nha Trang gave me the opportunity to take some photos of the typical vietnamese fishing boats that scatter the coasts of Nha Trang.

I have dragged my offensively heavy tripod off buses, through towns, in and off planes during this month long trip and have never had a chance to use it. This is the first photo taken with it, I had time to set-up and take a few photos of Halong Bay. This was the view outside our "hut" as the sun was setting. Perhaps not one of my best but I thought I would upload it to give a taste of this amazing country.

This photo shows how different aspects of photography can impact on another. This travel photograph is heavily influenced by my wedding photography style. I thought I would try and get a photo of a tuk tuk with the motio0n of the traffic outside as a streaked blur. However, it was too bright outside to get a slow enough shutter-speed to achieve this, so I opted for different approach of a Tuk-Tuk driver portrait. I asked him if I could take his photo, he nodded and smiled, but don't think he understood how I was going to do achieve this if I was riding in the back. While swerving around the numerous scooters, pedal-bikes, cars and children he looked back through his mirror to give the portrait I was looking for. Shortly afterwards he showed me that his Tuk Tuk could do a wheely, which I never want to experience again.
