While walking along the street on the first night out one of our mates got his wallet and hp snatched literally away from his hand by a local on a bike.
Hi night86mare, if you're going, please take care of your belongings. When you're walking in the streets of Hanoi, especially in the Old Quarter where motorcycles whizz past you every second, keep your cameras in front of you (to prevent snatch theft). Personal valuables should also be kept in the inner compartments of your backpack as thieves with knives are not uncommon.
You will also need to bargain a fair bit in Vietnam as there is a distinct two tier pricing for locals and foreigners (we pay about 50% more). Learning the language also helps abit... i'll most some useful phrases in days to come...
Hi Limwhow, love your #15, great composition with the ceremonial guards in the background marching by, you are too modest, quick show us more photos!!!![]()
I really like your shot of the lady in blue. Some how the blue shirt of the Vietnamese coupled with the conical straw hat is classic.![]()
5) Lady vegetable seller peddling her produces on a bicycle

Well, ireallydontlikepink, there are a few companies organising photo trips.Are these trips common in CS?
Looks interesting ....

Taking photo i like

Thanks for all the narratives.
Good nice compo and lightings
Those narratives in green seems like you have recorded what they have said !!
These 2 pics have really nice bokeh and i like esp the blurry marching soldier. Good eye for details.
I don't have nice bokeh like Doc lah.
Wow .. sad to hear about the snatch thief .. when I was there with my buddy just last April.. the 2 of us was walking up and around till late. To me Hanoi is a pretty safe place ..
Looks like another fun trip
I see some nice shot already .. anyone catch the throwing of the flag in action ?
Can wait to see more
limwhow .. the color from the 1 series look good.. maybe there is still hope after all .. but must go 1 series![]()
your day shots were dead but your night shots sprung alive....
that's very unusual....
cos my night shots all can throw into the basket one...
my night vision isn't good and it impairs my composition and awareness of surrounding.
you seem to be different... must have been doing a lot of night and low light shots...
Haha... LowLights yah LowLights... this trip both SereneXMM and I were the laughing stock of the whole team... carried too many bodies already.
SereneXMM carried until cannot walk properly.
Me, I 'shack' until kept slipping and falling until I have got a big patch of bruise on my buttock....
Brother Lim, LOL... you 2 must be enjoying yourselves.
Nice shots that both of you took.:thumbsup:
Looks like its time for me to start clearing my leave.;p
Haha, scanner... yes, enjoyed like crazy.
We enjoyed every minute, every moment...
...except for those few moments when, like all couples, we have our disagreement on how to mount the camera on the tripod......
and SereneXMM's 50D dropped plonk.. plonk.. plonk... smack right onto the pavement of Sapa... Hahaha...
Missed your company, my good friend!

Yoz Lowlights, yup managed to catch the throwing of the flag, but the distance was rather far as we had to stand all the way back to the white line and with a crappy 270mm on a 1.6 crop, coupled with bleak weather, i'm sure it was blur. Will try to post it after a bit of touch up...

Hey WHow, hope your bruises are healing, tks for letting use the 5DMKII. ISO capability is amazing, esp for those low light situations.... guess that tipped the scale over!![]()
Hi Fellow Trekkers! How are you? I'm suffering from post-holiday syndromeI find myself waking up at odd hours. Like at 0500 expecting to see a flag.. or at 0430 half-expecting to drag my lifeless body out of a train.. There were times I wondered what I got myself into!!
Jokes aside, it has been a blast! And a very memorable trip for me. Thanks to all my fellow Trekkies who made the trip a success, namely George and Jim, Serene and Wee How, David, Acrux, Steve, my roomie Hai Won and of course, our fearless leader (and drill sargeant!!) Adrian.
Just me, Kei :cheergal:
Hey Kei, what drill sergeant? Wah lau! anyway, glad to hear you guys had fun, i'm also waking up at 4.30am everyday, natural alarm clock already.Remember to post your photos, i know you have alot of good shots!!! don't be modest!
