About the Image(s)

Another photo from Thailand… An amazing place! A little piece of Heaven…

But shooting there is very difficult. The sun is extremely bright! Either the shadows come out black, or the bright areas blow out to white. I was lucky, though: the day was overcast. That softened the light and made it possible to capture both the dark and the bright parts of the scene. On top of that, a polarizing filter cut the glare on the water and on the leaves. But that's the basics: a polarizing
filter is a must for shooting at sea and in bright sun.
