Angkor Wat First Light
THE PHOTO:
First is a series from my recent trip (24th December to 2nd January 09/10) to Cambodia and Vietnam. This is the famous Angkor Wat complex – one of the most photographed scenes in Cambodia. I, alongside about 300 other photographers, was lining up along the pond-bank to get the sun coming up behind the main complex.
POST-PROCESSING:
I had my camera set to JPEG rather than RAW to allow me to take more photos during the trip, and I felt more like a happy-snapper than a photographer because of it. So this image wasn’t the sharpest, or best exposed one I took (there were about 50 shots taken), but it had the best composition.
