Shots from a recent trip to Thailand. I was bitterly disappointed to see how touristy the floating market in Damnoen Saduak really is. So I focussed on the people instead of the market itself. This is the result.

All c&c more than welcome! My tip for when you go there: bring a telephoto lens.

EDIT: Dear mods, I made the mistake to post this in the nature section. Could you please move it to the travel section? Thanks.

1. This is what I expected to see everywhere but sadly this was the only boat like this. I cropped out the tourists to the right.

Good series from there. I got same feeling as you when i visited there in october.. tourist trap...

You did a right to consentrate only people, not "junky market"

Do you have more shots from your trip?

Ofcourse, but the guy in the background is tasting mango steen :D. I know that because I went to taste some too after this shot.

Your favorite shot is my favorite shot! Unbelievable one, too! Congratulations for a stunning and exciting little series there already as it is! Wow.


Canon 500D, Sigma 18-250mm & no clue how to make the best of either, yet! :oops:
