All tremendous Bobby! All well composed, framed and processed! Great transitions in color in monks robes and backgrounds..great melding of ancient structures into environments, great look into the rituals of an ancient people now present day....hard to tell that it was thousands of years ago.
Well done!

These are absolutely amazing, especially the portraits! Please post the portraits and some of the other photos of people on the "people photography forum." They deserve to become a featured thread, so more people will have the pleasure of viewing them.

Thank you, Arka, but I am not sure if you are referring to Set 5 from this forum or Set 5 from the People forum.

Hello James, it's good to see you here, and thanks for the compliment! I am planning to lead a similar photo tour in 2016 (October) mostly with some photographer friends. Do check out my images on "The People of Burma" thread:

Splendid series Bobby! Great work.
Last year I was following you to Cambodia and this summer I will be in Myanma. You have been using the panasonic 7-14mm a lot. Is there any advice on this lens for shooting landscape or buddhist temple in Myanma. Thanks.

Thanks! I have to admit that although the 7-14mm range is very good for compact cities e.g. most European cities, interiors and churches, etc, it wasn't my favorite lens - mostly because of the purple blobs that you can get in bright lights - and you don't have to be pointing to the sun to get that. I can't wait to replace this lens with the Olympus version. Hopefully it won't have that problem. Having said that, the 7-14 is certainly a very useful range - after the 12-40mm which was my work-horse lens.
BTW I have just returned from 2 weeks in Iceland. What an awesome place. Those glacial beaches and ice caves, etc are simply amazing. I hope to post my best images within the next couple of weeks or so.

I'm in awe of all these photos man. How were the people, especially the monks, about having their photos taken? Did your guide help a lot with access, etc? That aside, clearly you just have a phenomenal eye and great talent. This is a thread I'll be coming back to just to enjoy the work!
PS, did I read correctly that you might try to go back and run your own workshop there? If so, please PM me with details!

Thank you! The monks in Burma are generally quite shy but they don't mind us taking photos of them - quite unlike the monks in Thailand. Having said that, we had a Burmese guide who was himself a monk before, so he understand them well and could get them to pose, smile, laugh, etc.
Yes, I will be leading a photo tour in late October, 2016. It will be a 16 or 17-day tour of all these places plus a couple of new ones including a 500-million-year-old cave. Will PM you in the next few weeks with the details.
