Schwedagon at night Photo

Photographer’s Note

If there is one place to see in Yangoon, this IS the place. One of the greatest and most revered Buddist monument in Myanmar. It is all gilded in gold, all ~60 metic tons of it.

Very impresive picture.
It looks a very particular monument.
Great shot.

Very stunning Thien!
Wow...a 26 second exposure & the couple setting up front are perfectly focused. They must have been frozen in awe of this magnificent view :) They also add a certain something to this already beautiful image. What lens did you use? Or is it built in? I don't know much about Canon's...

A bit too much distorsion perhaps... that's where limited sized sensors are doing better than your lethal weapon ;)...(btw I'm surprized that you don't have a wider Canon L lens to complement that mighty 24/70...

f/14 !!! can't see the use of it with such a WAL except if you wanted some starlight filter and Schwarzschild effects coupled to increased diffraction... :-|

I would have rather liked a stealth shot taken right behind the devotees and experimenting different exposures, i have a feeling that a low key could be very rewarding here... sorry no oooh and aaahs today ;)..
