Hi all,
Got back from a 1 week trip to Bangkok and Angkor Wat around a week ago, and between bouts of jet lag and flu medication stupor, I've gone through around half of my pictures. But I'm a bit unsure which types of pics I like... color (sometimes desaturated), b&w (sometimes infrared added in post), or infrared w/ cross processing. I'll be posting more pics as the week progresses from my trip, but was wondering what you all thought of the different interpretations...

Thanks in advance!

Here's a link to wikipedia regarding the Angkor area and it talks a bit about the history and symbolism of these sites.

I like the fourth image the best. Great texture there

Thanks! I also like infrared... it has that dreaminess that seems to fit Angkor Wat as it's such a surreal place, especially this temple, Bayon with all the huge faces of King Jayavarman VII or Buddha.

I was thinking this was my favorite too, especially when the sky was overcast and tended to be blown out. I like how the greenish tone adds to the texture and seems to give more life than a standard b&w, but at the same time gives an eeriness/dreaminess that is somewhat absent from the color versions... Thanks for commenting!

The 4th is my favorite too. Great capture of details. Congrats.

Thanks Edicon... the hard part about Angkor Wat is that there are SO MANY details to capture; it's tough to decide what to take pictures of. Just an amazing place...
