RE: Photographing Vietnam - Streets of Hanoi
Such a busy city and so much traffic. And all those scooters! You managed to take some great shots even though you prefer landscapes.
When I saw you set up on the railway I thought: OMG! I hope that the train will go slow and you will have enough time to jump aside. To be honest I'm glad that the locals told you not take a shot as I found it too dangerous :)
It's very interesting how those houses are built so close to the railway. I wonder if they get any sleep during the night. And I hope that there are no sleepwalkers there :D
Thank you for sharing! It's another great video from you! :)
Hi there. I have visited Hanoi before already and also had a look at the train street and seen some trains pass through. So I knew exactly what I was in for, which is important!
One has to be careful and plan ahead which is why I used a long lens. From the train coming around the corner to my vantage point I had around 12 seconds to get out of the way and I had planned my escape route ;-)
Also mind the train passes only twice a day and on the weekends 6 times. Not at night though
