Twilight Temple

Fujifilm X100s, 27s @ f/16, iso 200
So this is apparently the best picture of the temple according to other people (my favourite was this one). I posted 5 best photos to 500px and this was the one that got a fair amount of traction there and also on G+. Well, I've got so much to learn still....

"Stick them with the pointy end"

Fujifilm X100s, 1.4s @ f/16, iso 200
Back to Wat Rong Khun - I don't even know why I like this picture. It's black and white, doesn't show any of the temple, just a bridge leading to it. I think it's the composition.

The "White" Temple

Fujifilm X100s, f/8, iso 200, HDR
In the light of the rising sun, the White Temple does not look that white anymore. Still, it is unlike any other "wat" I have seen in Thailand so far. Usually they are either painted gold or full spectrum of colours. But white?
If you want to visit it, the best time is either during fresh morning hours (just a tad before 8am) or in the afternoon (closes at 5pm, but it is worth waiting for the sunset).
And if you like this picture, you may also like the others in the White Temple album.
