Blinding White

Today a bit more cheerful posting as yesterday. Here the blinding white stupa behind one of the many temples in Chiang Rai in Thailand.

It was a very quiet and relaxing place to be. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded city.

PP-work:

Increased brightness and contrast slightly. Minor crop, resized and sharpened, add frame and text.

Camera settings:

ISO: 200 ASA
White balance: auto
Meetering: pattern
Shutter speed: 1/125
Aperture: f/22
Exposure compensation: -0.5
Focal length: 26 mm

Hallo Hans,
Zo volgens mij is het een wonder dat ik een foto van jou tegen kom die nog géén punten heeft:DMaar dat zal wel een kwestie van tijd zijn toch??;p
Ik vind de kleuren echt zó mooi op deze foto, de mix van goud en wit is oogverblindend gewoon:D
vriendelijke groeten

Hij is weer heel mooi Hans. De wit-gouden stupa tegen de staalblauwe lucht doet het erg goed en de groene omlijsting maakt het plaatje àf!
Groet uit Renesse,
Adri

Hi Hans

I like the gold stupa juxtapositioned against the marvellous blue sky. Good sharpness & well framed & composed. A superb result, with only minimal oe in the highlights. Tfs!

FAbulous work, Hans

Hi Hans,

Ah, nice touch the white with the blue and greens together. The colours are vivid, but not too overly saturated so it keeps a very natural feel. I like it!!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hallo Hans.
Prachtig plaatje van deze 'snowwhite' Stupa.
Always very impressive to see. Make you more silent when close to it.
I saw many of them in Sri-Lanka too.
Unfortunately ?, have it on Video.
Fijne avond.

A nice study in blue and white, green and gold. The temple looks very Colgate-white Hansie.
Well composed too.

Not so blinding, Hans, you kept the whites well in control here. I like the contrast between the green, white, gold and blue in this shot. A nice stupa too, I may add. Must have been quite a trip!
