mine photos similar to yours. i hv another one with FreeEasy running to make the pigeons take flight. see if i can manage to convert that to GIF

who was sitting in front of you ? and who was behind you ? :bsmilie:

Testing my memory ah. You in front and Betty behind. What's the prize?

Edit: Now I think I know why you ask this question. Its a ride in the evening, not the morning chilly ride. Got mixed up but not the sitting. Still got prize?

Someone asked why they are beating the surface of the water. I also dunno. Tried searching but hard to find answers. Did Melvin say something about creating bubbles to attract the fish?:dunno:

The surface area of the oar has to be 0.10m2 and hitting the waves at a speed of 35m/s to send shock waves frequency of 1,500 hz, so as to send shivers to the spine of the fish and giving them heart attack and failure of the liver. The dead fish will arise to the water at a calculated time of 0.5 hr there after. Ya, actually catching fish is quite simple if you know the science of it.

divinemoment - your "Here's the Intha fishermen".. :thumbsup::thumbsup: the color tone (sunset/sunrise feel) and the moment of capture is great.. I see what a 4/3 camera can do.. (p.s. I know what you mean about the white & black camp... LOL.. I'm on the dark side)..

Its a sunset shot. Its more "divine" than 4/3. Thanks again.

ya, in the first few rides, it was boat #3 for us (you, betty, andrea, ceceil and me) but that last cold misty morning boat ride you went ahead first so i was taking the boat with hahatan, koko, and one more person i can't remember....

u got to find out who's mucus flew onto your face mah...haha

ok, the surface area of the oar may have 0.1m2 but the speed definitely fell short of 35m/s. btw, u bs right ? :bsmilie::bsmilie: how would a shock wave frequency of 1,500 hz kill the fish ? something in excess of 20G may, i suppose :dunno:

found something on the web on dynamite fishing...."Underwater shock waves produced by the explosion stun the fish and cause their swim bladders to rupture. This rupturing causes an abrupt loss of buoyancy; a small number of fish float to the surface, but most sink to the sea floor. " so if hitting the water hard is another form of poor-man's dynamite fishing, they really got to try very hard...haha

Can't challenge a scientific design off-ci-fer here lah. At least anyhow gasak also half correct what.

So you better tell these Ah Pei they are wasting their time since its hard (actually impossible) to produce 20G. Sound to me a MRT civil defense bomb shelter that is designed to take 20G in most of the shelters.

i also don't know, really i just thought you know something mah

hold your horses first...you may be somehow right about the low frequency thing...

I quote from wikipedia..."Human tolerances depend on the magnitude of the g-force, the length of time it is applied, the direction it acts, the location of application, and the posture of the body.

The human body is flexible and deformable, particularly the softer tissues. A hard slap on the face may briefly impose hundreds of g locally but not produce any real damage; a constant 16 g for a minute, however, may be deadly. When vibration is experienced, relatively low peak g levels can be severely damaging if they are at the resonance frequency of organs and connective tissues."

what those ah pek need to know is to do it with more finesse, they need some instruments to help them get that frequency consistently...there you go, killing fish with low frequency waves...

Thank you to everyone who have viewed and complimented on the images I posted, truly encouraging to me. And to all who have shared their BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL and POWERFUL photos whether it's shot with Nikon, Canon, Sony, Lumix, Leica...I Salute to you All...Bow Bow Bow.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I went to bed last night thinking now that we've concluded the(for fun and friendly one) challenge of shooting seagull eyes in-flight, what's the next challenge? Shooting Jumping Cat's eyes??? Kekeke!

Day 5 - Inle Lake: Nga Phe Kyaung Jumping Cat Monastery
We next 'cruised' to this lake side monastery.
Another one of my many print-outs in my handphone:

Nga Phe Kyaung Jumping Cat Monastery is a Buddhist monastery by the banks of Inle Lake in Myanmar. Also written as Nga Hpe Chaung, this attractive wooden monastery built on stilts over Inle Lake at the end of the 1850s.

Nga Phe Kyaung has become a tourist attraction in Myanmar for its jumping cats. To while away time in the monastery, the monks of Nga Phe Kyaung have taught a few of the many cats living with them to jump through hoops. This has provided some entertainment and made Nga Phe Kyaung Monastery an unlikely tourist attraction. Apart from that, visitors may admire the beautiful architecture and picturesque setting in which the monastery was built.

Just a record shot of this monastery...

limwhow #222
And another record shot of a bunch of very enthusiastic shooters waiting waiting waiting and waiting...
... eagerly anticipating the beginning of the Jumping Cat routine...

limwhow #223
By the time we finished with the Jumping Cat monastery, it was almost 5pm.
Melvin said:

"OK Ladies and Gentlemen, we are going to fast boat to somewhere in the lake with the setting sun in the background.
Each boat has five of you shooters in it. And you have full control of your boat. Instruct your rower to position yourselves in whatever good position to shoot any of the many Intha Rowers on the lake..."
​

So we tried.
This is just a record shot. No where near the perfect shot by Gapman, but it is the best that I could muster.

You're way too humble Doc, you dun call this a record shot! If I've got to pick one to submit for contest, I'll pick yours~!
Mine actually CMI, that's why need to dress it up to look like cover.

 

[gapman]

ah, looks like i have adopted at least 2 cute daughters on this trip...here's another look at my cute daughter

Your daughters are cute n adorable~!!!

Taken in the morning mist.

Beautiful capture of a hardworking Intha seen through the serene atmosphere of the morning mist!

The above quote sounds familiar. Seems like my contribution to wiki. Ha ha ha ah ha.

When we were at the Jumping Cat Monastery, after checking that my lens and ISO couldn't cope with the low light level in the monastery itself, i wandered off to the back of the monastery and saw this...just for record...the place would have been nicer if the time was later with softer sunset lighting...but i like the peace and emptiness here...

Beautiful scenery shot bro! SWEE!

 

[gapman]

Your front cover is getting better and better. And your fonts and colours are quite appropriately chosen. Good job. Post more pse. Some ad agency may be eyeing on this thread.

But is this lake considered sacred? Why?

Just wanted to give a description to it, shortlisted down to a few but decided to use 'sacred' as it has least alphabets....haha!

Interesting creation Kernik! :thumbsup:

tks. my 'children' are all indeed very cute .... hahaha

Beautiful scenery shot bro! SWEE!

tks believe the place would be even nicer at sunset .
