Vietnam 06 - Hanoi + Sapa

[wormz777]

Hanoi
We were very lucky... 6 days of bright sunny days. Rain only fell on our way to the airport for the homebound flight.

Nice....much nicer than mine.

Just for your info, the URL you typed out in the starting thread is incorrect.

I think the correct link is: http://www.snapyou.com/gallery/vietnam06

Thanks for the correction!

We booked a trekking tour from Vega Travel which operates in Hanoi. Costs us USD$108 per person for a 3 days trip. The guide is very good I must say... and the arrangement of accomodation and food is excellent from our experience.

You can go by yourself n arrange the tour in Sapa, but I think savings are at maximum USD$15 at best.

You had just brought me for a fast trip to Vietnam for free! :lovegrin:

I like the barber shop (sapa), murderous 'taxi driver look' (hanoi) and above all the astronomy shot (sapa).

Mind to share how you did the astronomy shot? I done a few without much success

Nope, only Hanoi and Sapa. HCM is a bit far as its in the south and Hanoi in the north. Given the short duration of the trip, I chose more depth for the 2 places rather than try to cover as much surface as possible

Glad you like them as well Hmm, for star shots, try to find as dark as place as you can to minimize light pollution. Shoot at largest aperture, pre focus at a far object. For me, I shot at high iso so that I can get the stars as a dot. Longer exposure would have rendered them as trails.

Thanks all for your kind comments. I really enjoyed this trip too with Tulip123. We didn't know each other before the trip, but really had a fantastic 6 days!

I think its iso 800, 30 secs. Exposure cannot be too long, else the stars become trails

 

[heheapa]

It's just too much.....
Too much good photos. I enjoy a lot
