Lao Bus View Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this picture from the bus driving full speed between Vientiane and Vang Vieng...and I regretted more than once that the bus couldn't stop to take pictures of the amazing sceenery! Therefore I got to test all sorts of camera settings to try and catch something decently enough. I liked this result...it looks a bit like a painting in my opinion. Luckily enough I still have my camera as sometimes I was leaning so far out the window that I almost got knocked off by the opposite side traffic...lol

Hi Leonie,
you must be very strong to catch this scenery while full speed driving bus! Of course it is not so sharp (btw what was the speed of the bus and the camera?) but colours are amazing. Looks realy like painting.
Best regards,
Stanislav

the extreme shooting technique has paid off :) although there's visible motion blurr and animals in the fogeround have their legs cropped, I quite like this pastoral scene. the dead tree in the foreground adds a nice focal point, and the paths in the fields nicely leads the eye into the shot. considering the circumstances - well done :)
best,
Kristine

Hi Leonie!
Good quality for taken from a bus.A "comftable" POV and a nice scene.
I try this often and know how difficult it is to recieve a good result.Good "quick " composition with very nice tones.
Regards.leo

Hi Leonie. That must have been so frustrating not being able to pull over and take pictures. But knowing what you had to deal with you had a wonderful result here. I wouldn’t mind losing the tree in the foreground and I bet with some creating cloning in Photoshop you could get rid of it. Nice catch Leonie!

Salut Leonie,

Prise du bus, pas mal ! Je sais, pour le tester depuis cet été, que les prises de photos en roulant sont loin d'être évidente. Ici, tu as de belles couleurs, et une belle netteté.

Leonie,
good that you put in your title the information that you were shooting from a bus, otherwise I would have been somewhat dissapointed. The composition is perfect although it is quite challenging to make such a perfect distibution of element from a fast moving bus.
Regards, Peter

Salut LaoTerror,
Ben y'avait pas de signal d'alarme a tirer pour arreter le bus et te faire lyncher par tes co-voyageurs ??? ;-)
Le resultat est pas mauvais cote nettete et c'est interessant de voir ces buffles dissemines dans le champ, c'est cadre un peu juste en bas.
Bon week end JY
