Myanmar – Views of the Treasure

The Chickadee and I did a circuit of Myanmar in late September and October.  I will be releasing batches of shots from this trip – here is the first, from the first place we stayed in,  the Myanmar Inle Treasure

The Myanmar trip was the first I have ever done with a full-on photography intent.  I took my Sony Nex-6 and Nex-5, the 10-18 wide-angle zoom, the new 18-200 tele zoom, the 85mm Sigma prime, and the 30mm Sigma prime.  I also packed loads of filters and my little Sony RX-100.  The Chickadee took over the RX-100 to my delight (more of this later), and we shot pretty much everything we saw.  To the extent of around 6000 frames.  Out of that we got quite a few keepers, and the Chickadee effortlessly took at least 3 exhibition-class shots, and many many other great pictures.  I’ll do a special post just for her stuff, but in the meantime, here are the photos from the first place we stayed in,  the amazing Myanmar Treasure Resort, on the lake at Inle.  In the next post, I’ll describe Inle a bit more.  In the meantime here are your starters.  Viewing info at the end.

  • Madrid street – chums

    Out in the street yesterday with  my Olympus and a fast telephoto lens.  Like so many cities in Europe,  it’s hard to see evidence of the recession in Madrid. Much more obvious in London in fact.  This area of Fuencaral/Malasana has many flourishing speciality shops. I don’t recall whether this one was for dogs or…

    “Dreams plus workout” may lead to success, but more often will lead to severe injuries on the treadmill machine. This shot taken yesterday outside a gym in Madrid.
