Thank you for your kind words, all of you. Here's one from the start of the journey, the train to Aranya Pratet on the Thai side of the border being 40 minutes late, as usual

Truly, a great series Jorgen.I'm kind of working on it, but making a living and making a book don't combine easily
This morning, I wandered around in Poipet, Cambodia around daybreak, waiting for the border to Thailand to open. Poipet must be one of the muddiest, dustiest as well as unhealthiest places on earth, but if I found someone there who makes decent food, I could stay forever to take photos.
This photo also illustrates the strengths of the Fuji. It's a straight conversion from RAW, with no other adjustments than a quarter of a stop exposure (up), some highlight recovery and sharpening for web.
Edit: Even Fuji can be improved, so I increased the brightness slightly as well (+15 in PS), which is the version currently visible.

As usual in your compositions there's a strong sense of humanity. And reflecting the people abitliy to meet less-than-ideal living conditions with a positive, often even cheerful attitude -especially compared to most of their western counterparts.
The motorcycle shot (superb) posted in "Nikon Street" fits right into this theme, too.
Well, it conveys hope. And that's nice.
The one photo quoted above looks different from the rest, would fit in with your former night market pictures. Intertesting to see how things quite consistently look less miserable in dim light.
(and 1/18s? wow...)

Thank you, Corlan. This one was taken at the old market in Poipet, and it was almost night. It's always fascinating to be there before they open and see how it all develops, from a group of people sleeping on floor and benches to a little community with hundreds of people. The old market in Poipet is particularly interesting, since it's so basic, still rather large. It has a terrible reputation for hygiene though, and the smell is rather... uninviting.

Agreed some awesome images in this set Jorgen, as usual.
Good point Corlan. I have come to believe seldom does money even enter into the equation of an individuals happiness or content, and all too often the more one has the more miserable they appear. Go figure.

Now for a look into the past, and some boring undertones in this page graced with vivid and enchanting colors.
This is a dungeon tower, last artifacts left from a 14th c. castle. The property was owned by an american family for the better part of the 20th century, then donated to the town administration along with a trust fund to ensure further renovation. Works are en route...

Impressive place, nicely photographed. I really light the light in those interior shots. The fifth image in the first group really grabbed me. Good stuff.Now for a look into the past, and some boring undertones in this page graced with vivid and enchanting colors.

The Hallway is great. Lots of interesting depth.

Thanks Lloyd, Jorgen.
Hallway is indeed my favorite -along with the stairs and the fireplace for the light.
I'll do better with the tripod and notes, these are test shots. Unfortunately weather has dramatically change the last couple of days. Will be a tough one. Shoot.
