Hanoi is one of the more interesting places I’ve been recently – these images were shot during downtime on a business trip about a year ago. It’s a fascinating mix of French colonial and Southeast Asian chaos; juxtapositions abound, and rich textures are plenty – making for great shooting. Part one, in color. I’m told Ho Chi Minh City is a lot more developed an interesting, but I haven’t had a chance to visit yet. MT
This set shot with a Nikon D700, 85/1.4G and 28-300/3.5-5.6 VR.

Quantum mechanics at work again: the scene changed because the subjects noticed the photographer.

A vomit-inducing ride. Notice passenger on the right hand bike.









Once again- applause! I enjoy the entire flavor of your style & subject matters- thanks for sharing!
Ps: how do you technically insert your name into the border- would love to learn
Thanks! It’s a simple Photoshop action – add border, then put text in. Repeat.
Ciao, very interesting to see this part of the world through your eyes, and great shots!
Thanks Lynne! Part two coming soon.
Hi Ming.
I really enjoy reading your blog, it was btw your articles regarding D800 that made that I found your site.
I got my D800 delivered 29th March and must say that I also am deeply impressed with what it can deliver. Even though it has meant that I had to buy new lenses … But the joy of new glass is in my eyes at least as great as the joy of a new body.
Is it possible that You will make a post about how You create this special cinematic look i You’re pictures?
Thanks in advance.
Please continue the good work!
