What a fantastic place !

Very nice place. I'm not sure what to think about the exposure time: too short ? too long ? or just OK ?

Perhaps Laos is one of the most unknown country in Southeast Asia, so any images from there is highly appreciated!

Long exposures are out of the question because I don't lug a tripod around. This was shot at 1/125 which gives a slight sense of motion.  Faster would provide more detail in the water.  Next waterfall I will experiment some.

Thank you everyone.

Ron:

I like the light beams coming in at the top, enough blur to give a sense of motion, the comp.

Would be a interesting opportunity for one of the m/43 rigs that can give a real four stop advantage, and can give some silly long exposures handheld.  I have played around with the OMD EM1 Mark II,  and it is remarkable how effective the image stabilization is, esp. when combing body and lens stabilization.

Look forward to more.

What a phantastic sense of space in this shot!

Magnificent.

A much longer exposure would be beautiful, but I am not sure it would actually be any better than this.

Thank you Randy, Frank and Peter.  4 stops of stabilization, wild.
