Yeah, an aisle seat is convenient in getting to the toilet but you can treat yourself with views of heaven and the just-below-heaven by getting a window seat.



So here are my TRAVEL PIC TIP:

1. Check in early to get choice spots.

2. Don't just ask for window seats, request for one that not encumbered by the wing. Charm the counter attendant and request for to see the seat plan if possible.

3. Know the direction you are heading. Sunrises (EAST) and sunsets (WEST) views are awesome if your window faces the sun. I find noontime as best as only bright direct sunlight can bring out the contrast needed for clear pics. Bright light before and after noon are good UNLESS you are facing the sun- then glare is a problem.

4. Pray for things that are not within your control:

- clear window sheets (a problem with old plane)

- weather (you can't get views if skies are dark and cloudy)

5. Put your lens near the glass but no contact please (vibration!).

6. I suggest an aperture in the f5-10 range. A high f value often results to noise (if on auto, the ISO level climbs up I think) and exposes the (cleanliness) state of your lens.

7. If available, follow the flight path in the planeview channel (available in most flights of the bigger modern planes). I even take pics of the screen so that I know the location.



Which brings me to this picture. This is northeast of Mandalay, Burma. I will have to check the atlas later on to approximately verify whether this is still Mandalay...

Sometimes I think that the impression one would get of Burma from my photos is that everyone is immensely happy. Of course that is not the case, but they were an incredibly open, friendly, and for the most part joyous people. That or they were just laughing at me alot... ;)

This tiny temple contained the most amazing paintings. Each of those little figures is a little Buddha, literally thousands of them. The inset is a detail of the little guys, so small, and so very many of them.



I had met a man named Tun Tun Win who was taking me around Bagan on his motorbike. After watching an amazing sunrise from the tops of the temples, we ate breakfast at the little food stand his sister ran not far from this temple. Tun Tun's english was awful, but I giggled like crazy when he stepped inside this one and started saying "Buddha Buddha Buddha Buddha Buddha Buddha Buddha Buddha Buddha..." Cracked me up.

Burma is safe for all travelers. One Northern man worked in Burma. He got handfuls of bodyguards even no need to use them for once.

Military jeep right when he is in need. No need to fear for tourists to move around in Burma. I have never heard of Burmese harming visitors.
