I usually feel somewhat unsettled taking photos in religious spaces, always concerned I’m interrupting an worshiper event though I’m not particularly religious myself. Many houses of worship don’t allow tripods to be used and on this trip I wasn’t carrying one anyway, so this is a hand-held shot in low light so I’m pleased with the way it turned out given the film was Fujichrome 100.
Taken from the lookout on the eastern part of the island, the ship is beached on the sandy isthmus that joins the two parts of the island. The water here was really shallow – the two people on the right of the image are actually sitting down at this point, not standing. The varying depths of the water and the light ripples of the breeze driven waves are refracting the sunlight to give the rainbow effect of this image.
I snapped this image of part of the Grand Palace in Bangkok while racing up the Chao Phraya as a passenger in one of those long-tail boats. Later in the day I went back to the Wat Phra Kaew which is in the north-east corner of the Grand Palace complex and open to the public and I’ll post some images from there in the coming days.
The image below was taken a few minutes after yesterday’s shot with the sun bisected on the horizon. The film stock was Fuji Provia 100 ISO. I’m not sure if the film now 23 years old, is suffering from aging or original reciprocity failure.
