Hi Richard,
What an incredible shot! I like the super W I D E angle you used. It works very well. The sunrise is a perfect backdrop and the calm water gives a good reflection. Wish I could be there to see the moment.
Great photo again,

Darren

Grrr ... you just did this one for the points, didn't you!

Must admit, it's a good one. Very good. Wide-angle used well, metering perfect, saturation excellent, composition out of a textbook.

Good job, really good!

What up my friend, do I need to defend my self? :-)
Great capture with the fish eye lens. I like the adjusted (?) red tones I makes the sunrise even look more dramatic. Rew must be happy with such an unique posting :-)Great memories Rich I happy I did met you. Good luck in HKG.

Somebody is having fun with the fisheye. Nice mood you captured here. I would have added a bit more contrast and brightness , as you can see in the WS.

Hi Richard,
Great colours, silhouettes and reflections, I am not a fan of the Fisheye lens but it has certainly enhanced this shot, great work my friend and I'm glad you had a good time with the GreenCanon (I bet he was beggin to use your kit LOL)

Bugger the bird mate, this is a stunning image !

The lens really does add to the image. The lower left and right corners a bit dark, but that's just personal taste.

Nice one !

Richard the fisheye provides a great perspective - wonder burnt reds and yellows in the arching horizon. Really like the reflections the you got with that lens.

ps.The Bayon is wonderful, too, but that frame is too eyecatching (too high contrast for the soft grey tones of the image, IMHO)

I must say I joined TE after seeing sunrise pictures of Angkor Wat. Your fisheye provides a new perspective, an engaging one, that I haven't seen. The silhouettes are well defined and the colors are terrific. Best regards.

Hi Richard!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful shot of Angkor Wat. I never tire of looking at it... The lighting here is very dramatic which is enhanced by the use of a sweeping fisheye.

I'm not always fond of the fish-eye effect, but here it really adds to the shot. You're right about the stripe, cloning it would be better I think. The sky is nice with all those clouds, but I like the reflection better. Didn't you consider putting the horizon in the centre here to show more of it? I know, centering is "discouraged", but sometimes it does work. On the other hand, you'd lose a lot of the fish-eye "bending" effect...
Anyway, I like it. After all, you used "better equipment" than Hans ;o)

Hello Richard !

Catching up , as i missed a lot of great stuff lately. Great to see your images again, and read you had fun with hans . A sunrise at Angkor wat , that is a pretty exotic TL meeting photoshoot.

Spectacular result capturing the early light over the pond. I bet you were not alone.


Cheers!
Robert

PS. BTW , if I buy a new camera , I will surely stick to Canon (^_^) and the great lenses zoom lenses they offer, despite the great quality of Nikon products ..... Sorry Hans (^_^)

Hi Richard,

This one is so nice.
It's so difficult to select between these two shots(yours and Hans's shot). Interesting, Two friends, one subject and two POV, anyway both is very nice.
