Number 10 and 11 show some of the rebuilding that is going on. They are just making 3d puzzles on the ground, trying to piece it all back together. In the sunrise pictures you can also see some green sheets that are protecting certain areas being refurbished.

Thanks. Really enjoyed using the manual 50 1.7, although I got a bit carried away playing with DOF!

good idea, might have a little play with that. Should have seen the amount of photographers standing in front of that pond!

Excellent!
Love #4
#8 shows Cambodia has a ore healthy attitude to certain things than here.
I was expecting more colour in the set though. Simply becuase I thought All Asian Countries are colourful. Or maybe Cambodia isn't.
I'd love to go.

Nice series. The M50 1.7 is a great lens, though IŽll be taking my 1.4 version when I go to Cambodia in a few weeks
Better than most series of photos taken at Angkor, you photos seem to confirm what I suspected - that there are so many small details worth photographing.
IŽd be interested to know how many photos you took in your time there? I have concerns over the amount of memory to take.

I took about 700 at Angkor in 3/4 of a day. There are endless small details, so it would be easy to take far more than that. Quite a few were similar though, at fear of getting home and finding one or two had not come out as expected. The Cambodians are amazing people though, feel safer there than in London!

You were only there 3/4 of a day? IŽll be there for 2 or 2 & a half & worried about not seeing much! Wow, 700 photos is a lot, I think IŽll need to invest in some more SD cards for this trip...

Yes, unfortunately we only had a 2 week trip and wanted to see Cambodia and Thailand, so time was tight. Will go back one day and spend more time there.
