I am in Moab, Utah now leading a photo tour to the American Southwest. We arrived in Arches National Park -- one of America's most spectacular parks -- but I haven't taken anything yet that's worthy of posting (too many thin clouds in the sky, thus the light was mostly flat), so I wanted to share this image I took about 2 years ago. If possible, I now choose to stay in hotels that are great to photograph, such as a dynamic lobby, or that offer a great view. The picture here is the 64th floor of the Labua Hotel in Bangkok; this is what you see when you step out of the elevator. It is the illuminated walkway to a rooftop restaurant with an incredible view of the city. What an amazing place to eat. No tripods were allowed, so my settings show how dark it was: 1/15th, f/4, 6400 ISO. I used a 24-105mm lens with image stabilization to help get a sharp picture. Still, for insurance, I took a dozen shots hoping one would be tack sharp.
