The most striking image I saw when I first arrived at Hanoi. The woman climbed across the railing to cross to the other side of the bridge despite an on-coming train. She probably knew she could not cross in time so she just casually waited at the side for the train to pass first. I guess she was less than 3 feet away from the marauding train.

 

The image is slightly crooked because this was a quick snap at f/8 1/125sec. My 21mm external viewfinder is not level too as its foot was broken off and superglued back.

I do some 'Street Photography' when I am in Cebu, Philippines -- my wife is scared of the 'Snatchers' but I go out with members of Cebu Images Camera Club and I've never had any trouble ( SO FAR !! )

A really great selection of images Vincent, thanks for sharing.

From my personal experience, it's safe in Hanoi.

I forgot to compensate for parallax error with the external VF.  It was a quick snap shot. I was photographing something else and happened to just turned around and saw her with her bicycle and quickly took her picture. Lots of activity on the streets of Hanoi.

I was too optimistic with the light level here. I should have given more exposure to record their facial expressions, I only had little time to grab this shot (thus messed up the exposure) before the man on the right changed his sitting posture. I like how relaxed they both looked when I took their picture.

 

Hanoi, Vietnam.

Lunch time crowd by Days of My Ordinary Life (Vincent), on Flickr

 

Office workers enjoying tea and melon seeds after lunch. I find the small plastic stools very interesting. They are usually found outside coffee shops. Functional (with a tray on top, it becomes a small table), does not take up too much space and allows everyone to sit near one another. Everyone talks to one another, listens to jokes together and laugh together. I took this photo because I want to remind myself that this is how real friends and colleagues should communicate and interact with one another.

Very nice series Vincent, you've introduced Hanoi to my travel plans! Tri-X works well: do you develop the negatives yourself?

[Frank Sellitto]

very impessive work.  some of the best  i've seen in here for some time  love your setup choices. SA 3.4 is a gem and used wisely!
