188195, Found a sepak takraw game in the mountains of Burma
Posted by rawsouthpaw, Mon Jun-02-14 01:51 AM
I was on a 15 hour train ride though the Burmese countryside last summer and was shooting medium format slides from the window. It was my first train ride too. Amazing.
I went apeshit when I heard there was a game being played next to a remote train stop station in the middle of the mountains when we pulled up. I've been trying to shoot this game in the region for years. I had less than 5 minutes to shoot before the train was going to pull away.

This FB gallery pic is kind of soft focus-wise due to no editing at the time I posted it-

Others, mostly Nikon d300 though I did pick up a old school Fujifilm medium format rangefinder before the 2 month trip to Singapore, Burma, Philippines and Thailand.
