Description
Taken in Sapa [north Vietnam]. Though the ground appears wet, it had not rained. It harldy ever rains, instead it has a extremely heavy misty fog that would just sit on the entire town for days on end. It was so thick, that just taking quick strole around would leave you with wet clothing and very wet hair. Needless to say, flash was virutually useless.The motorbike model is a Honda Dream II. Super popular all over vietnam.

I think the noise actually adds to the image in this and makes it feel more 'real'

yeah, and the whole atmosphere of the shot, with the fog, gives it a kind of 'film noir' aspect which I love.

Love it. Almost like the bike has neon wheels. Great shade of orange. Everything but the bike is almost sepia.
Ps. I hate flash anyways, I always think it's useless

Cheers! Yeah there was a shop/stall nearby that was emitting this cool blue light.
I agree with you on the flash, especially on my crappy camera. It either burns the crap of the image so EVERYTHING IS WHITE or it under exposes it so much so that you can't tell whether thatβs a mail box or a black man eating a hot dog
