Dave's Photo & Travelblogue

I’m pretty impressed by the HDR app available for the iPhone. Here’s a sample image from a friend of mine. Where are Canon and Nikon? Come on guys!

Since I’m on a High Dynamic Range photography kick, here are a few great sunset shots of Olympiapark – taken from the Olympiaberg (made of WWII rubble).

Three amazing High Dynamic Range shots that were taken in Cambodia during my round-the-world trip. Of course, sunsets are always better in HDR!

After three months of daily photography, I decided to start a private guided tour company teaching people how to use their cameras. Guided Munich is the result!

Today is the last day of my round-the-world trip! To cap it off, I wandered the KL streets a bit more and went to the Skybridge of the Petronas Twin Towers.

Today I walked about KL with my Nikon D90, snapping photos of people on the streets. I tried to look self-confident so no one would try to rob me. It worked.

After 5 days in Cambodia I finally got a picture of someone in rice paddies with a straw hat. Later in the day I arrive in Kuala Lumpur and see some sights.

This guest post by Alan Perlman features photos of 5 cities that Westerners rarely dare to visit. Despite their dangerous rap, all have something to offer!

Tonle Sap Lake increases its area by 10x in the rainy season, flooding nearby forests. The native floating village moves as lake level changes. Visit by boat!

Finally, I saw a nice sunset in Asia during rainy season. Plus, details on the tasty Khmer Kitchen, and a tasty (and artsy-looking) cocktail at The Banana Leaf.

Angkor Wat, surely a wonder of the modern world. The magnificent temple & surrounding complex, built by Khmer kings, dwarf any old stones I’ve ever seen before.

The day before my Angkor Wat visit, I went to see sunset from a temple on a hill. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans involving water & electricity.

Here’s a way to directly benefit poor families in poverty-stricken countries where you travel. Please try it, or forward the link to fellow travelers you know!

Cambodia is a rather poor rural country. But they still have cellphones everywhere and good Mexican food. Unfortunately there’s no 7-Eleven here, just 6-Eleven!
