Photolog: Saigon Opera House

ƦɘɧƮƨƎ — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 04:00:26 +0000

The Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon Opera House, is an opera house in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Built in 1897 by the French, and later restored in 1995 by the Vietnamese Government.

Shot using a Lubitel 166B with Kodak TMAX400

What first caught my eyes was the stunning architecture – I knew I had to take a photo of this. And I didn’t stop at just one, in fact I took a few on 2 different cameras just to be sure.

Shot using a Minolta X-700 + Rokkor-X 50 f1.7 with Fuji Sensia 400

I didn’t know that it was an Opera House, and wasn’t sure if I could go in as it looked very quiet from the outside.

A few more photos to stir your interest…

If you’re in Vietnam or going there – make sure to visit the Saigon Opera House (click here to check out what others are saying on TripAdvisor). I will be sure to go back there to catch a performance when I go back to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Do you like to Photo Walk?

So, you have a camera or maybe you’re like me – you have more than a few cameras and you’re thinking of heading out to take some photographs. You heard that the new place by the bay is really nice (Marina Bay, maybe?) or the nearby park is looking really nice and you wanna go for a photo walk?

So, here are some quick tips for you…

1. Dress comfortable - for the obvious reasons, duh. You’re going to be on your feet for a while and it’s important you feel comfortable. Comfortable shoes and light clothing work best, for me at least!

2. Carry less - Sometimes less is more Carrying less means you can do more with your hands and also means you can cover more distance and be more focused! Some days we all want to carry all our gears and be sure we have that camera and/or lens in our bag when we are out, but I can tell you from first-hand (backbreaking) experience that it’s no fun lugging all that on your back/shoulder. BUT, if you’re shooting film like me, do bring a few rolls of spare films ok? Don’t be caught stranded with no films! And, films don’t take up much space or weight in your pockets or bag.

3. Be aware - Being aware of your surroundings will help you get the shot(s) you want and of course, prevent you from falling over or tripping and breaking your precious camera(s). And, be ready – keep your camera(s) switched on and ready to shoot!

The People of Saigon, Vietnam – #10 – Final

This is gonna be the final post of this series : “The People of Saigon, Vietnam“.

The foreground is actually not the people, but I still like this shot. I think Sensia 400 (cross-processed) gives a warm and vibrant feeling. Leave me a comment if you like it too!
