Neat technique bro. This is way better than trying to take an exposure off the side of the sun on Aperture Mode, to avoid looking at the sun too much. At least I was wearing my sunglasses half the time while taking the pics haha.

Dear all,
Glad to hear you guys had fun, and it was seriously my pleasure organising this trip. Problem is, the more tours i lead, the more broke i become, gotta get a D3S, 70-200mm VR F2.8, 16-35mm F4, wah lau.... now i gotta get Mac Book Pro as well?! I think i might as well buy a 32" LCD TV and bring it along, hook it up to my crummy laptop
There goes my baggage allowance!
Anyway look out for the next 8 days Hanoi/Sapa/Nim Binh and Ha Long Bay trek, its gonna be fun!
Also, we're doing a BBQ on 10th April, complete with photo sharing and night macro shoot (led by Steve, one of our other tour participants and lao jiao shooter!) Official email will be sent soon... Free Food and Beer!
Seeya guys real soon... :bsmilie:

No lah... you are modest, stevepow.
Your experience has been very inspiring for people like myself and SereneXMM on this trip.
Your description of how your used your WA to capture the children with hands outstretched was a good learning lesson for us!
Finally found the "sauce" for that weird poisonous folder. :devil:
I think there is something wrong with all you Nikon fellows here...
Your cameras all got built in Unsharp Mask or something is it?
Darn good shot, brother!I am impressed by the lines on the (grand)mother's face and of course the innocent look in the baby's eyes. :thumbsup:
LOL weehow, are planning to switch camp too ?
It is a great trip - especially for newbie like me - learn so much on this trip! Thanks everyone for being so nice and friendly, made the trip really fun! First time posting pictures here, hopefully it works.
Some photos of the photographers - dun get offended hor, anyone dun like to see his or her face in the pic, let me know and I'll remove the pic yah?
We must all do what we can, to help our fellow photographer take THAT shot.
Though sometimes it pays to go against the flow.
And like all Singapore residents, we know how to queue:
LOL... omg!! so funny..

LOL weehow, are planning to switch camp too ?

T R A V E L O G U E - Laos Feb 2010
I would like to just contribute here a short little travel log so that we may remember what we did and where we were.
This is definitely not meant to be exhaustive. But serves just as small little notes.
Feel free to add into whatever you feel is interesting and would be memories to be cherished.
Day 1: KL - Vientiane - Luang Prabang
KL to Vientiane was smooth sailing.
Waiting at Vientiane's Wattay Airport - well, nothing much to do there except to eat US$5 maggi noodle and friend rice at the International lobby.
Stevepow was clever. He ate at the much cheaper local Laos stall at the Domestic lobby - some spicy spicy friend noodle - right?
Vientiane to Luang Prabang - now that was something!
First time taking a Properller Plane.
It looks like this.
D1-01
All of us sat staring at the Propellers in awe.
Then it started turning. Like this:
D1-02
The noise was deafening. I couldn't hear myself talking (what IR filter) to Rudy, who was trying his best to squeeze his 100kg frame into the tiny seat beside me.
Then we took off.
And more than once, the sensation of weight-less-ness was gripping us in the groins.
The Propeller became like this (with CPL) as we reached the altitude of 13,000 ft:
D1-03
And the worse part was when we approached Luang Prabang 45 minutes later.
The hilly terrrain meant that the turbulence was much more pronounced.
And many of us had our hearts in our mouths when the small plane banked left and right to negotiate its route.
Reached Luang Prabang Airport in one piece.
And loaded all our checked-in luggages onto the pickup that came to welcome us.
D1-04
We were all happy to reach our accommodation at the heart of Luang Prabang - the New Daraphet Villa.
It's certainly a much newer and nicer place than some of the other Guesthouses around.
it's got air con. Every room has its private bathroom. And it has free wireless internet.
Just that in order to use the internet, we all got to be out at the common area.
But heck - it was a good way to mix around and TCSS.
Convenient place this was. A short walk out would bring us to the Royal Palace Museum and Mount Phousi.
D1-05
