Canon 5D Mark II – My new baby
Canon EOS 5D Mark II: My new baby. Will have to sell my 5D and keep the 40D as a backup. Amazing camera, thoroughly impressed. Played around with ISO 6400, and the full HD movies. That’s a whole new world for me – I have lots to learn. If anyone is interested in my Canon 5D, please email me. I’ll post a proper article soon with pics and more detailed info about the sale.

Solitude and timelessness
Angkor Wat, Cambodia So what’s up with all my Angkor Wat postings lately? Well, it’s been nearly a year since our trip to Thailand and Cambodia and I have only gone through a tiny percentage of the photos taken. This is one of the smaller temples on the grounds of the main temple. No one was around; had the whole place to myself for a while to take it all in. Felt a bit like Indiana Jones.

Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat, Cambodia (larger size) This is the traditional view of the temple that’s so often photographed. It’d be very difficult to do anything different or new with this scene, but the actual experience of being there is greater than any photograph may express. I only wish that I had more time to explore the numerous temples. Being there around something so ancient and monumental borders on a religious experience.Read more

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.” Khalil Gibran Dreamland, Bali Larger version: www.thejavajive.com/photoblog/?p=155Read more
