Tranquil Angkor Photo

Photographer’s Note

Needless to give note to this famous place, Angkor Wat as there have been thousands of shots here.
I just wanna explain few words how I took this shot as lots of my friends didn't see it as a natural photo but result of PP.
It took me 1hr only for few shots like this. This one was taken at 6:37pm after the sun had been down for a while. I used two filters: CPL + ND8 to slow down shutter speed to 30s and get the best reflection of the temple on the lake.
For PP, I just resized and USM, didn't do anything with color saturation and anything else.

Hi Tan,

I think this is a great night photo-Electric blue, nicely sharp, great reflections, panoramic composition. Surreal photo of this place, which I voted to be on the new list of the wonders of the World, but alas, not all agreed.
