So I will be out to Thailand and

looking to shoot images that
donʼt only show off the these
places but after looking at them
you will wish you were there. I
shall be finding photos that
show all the best sides of
Thailand and Cambodia, so
pictures of the local, temples
and the beautiful landscape.
I will be starting in Bangkok and
be hear for a 3 days. Here I
plan to not only take stunning
images of the city scape but try
to capture how busy it is. Then
on from that I shall head to a
small island just off Thailand
called Koh Samet, this is a
beautiful tiny island Il be
staying here for a week. Then
lastly I shall spend some time in
Cambodia exploring one of the
wonders for the world the
temples of Akgor Wat. I will only
spend a 3 days here.
Always going to be around
other people.
PICKPOCKETS
Being around water or tripping
over something
Dust camera damage
always keeping an eye out for
other people and being aware
of were I am and to be
respectful
Bangkok especially as there is
signs were its common to
happen iʼl be on my guard
Always knowing my
surroundings before putting my
eye to the camera
If iʼm not shooting then I will put
the camera away as a few
specs of dust inside and the
images will be awful and the
camera will need professional
cleaning.
