Bangkok Trip - Emerald Buddha & Grand Palace (Day 2)

-
The second day consider is my main purpose to visit to Bangkok because today we will visit to most of the famous and historic places in Bangkok. As what I planned and predicted before I depart from LCCT, I was took a lot in these places.


Emerald Buddha Temple

This morning we are wake up quite early, because we had took the tourism package in the airport and make an appointment to meet with the driver and depart from hotel on 9:00am. The distance between our hotel and Emerald Buddha Temple is around 2km, we took around half an hour to reach there. On the way to Emerald Buddha, we saw a lot of famous places like Boxing Stadium, Golden Mount and etc that we not visit due to lack of time.


On the way

After half an hour, finally we can see the Emerald Buddha Temple beside the road, I really felt excited at the moment because I can take a lot photos very soon.

Luckily there are not much tourist at that time, we can get the ticket easier and enter the Emerald Buddha Temple. Let's share with you my efforts.






Sunny day

It is really a hot sunny day, anyway the sun can't submerge my ambition, let's continue.

After visit to the Emerald Buddha Temple, we go to the next destination "Grand Palace" which is linked with Emerald Temple and next to the it. Anyway, due to the weather is not so good even there are not much shelter for resting in Grand Palace so I not take much photos there.

Experience in Jurong Bird Park

Today I went to the Jurong Bird Park, there are a lot models over there and they are suffice to kill the capacity of my camera's memory. This trip I had tried the Manual Focus because most of them are confined inside the cage, it is hard to use Auto Focus to aim them. Auto Focus (Seems like block by the cage) Manual Focus Since they are always moving during capturing, so I had manipulated some basic shutter speed and aperture skill. Try to take a panning photo but can't really feel it. Take with different shutter speed Through this trip, I saw a lot colorful birds meanwhile most of them are on verge of extinction due by pollution and disafforestation. To ensure our next generation still able to see these species in future, I think we have to bear the responsibility to protect them. Home 主页>>>

Henderson Waves Bridge

Yesterday I went to the Southern Ridges to trace the Henderson Waves Bridge which is a very unique bridge connecting the Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park. The journey to trace this "legend" bridge was really tiring, I took almost one hour to walk across the jungle to reach there. Anyway this journey I really gained a lot, at least I can reach the place and took a lot nice photos. I departed from the Marang Trail nearby the Harbour Front station on 5.00pm, the distance is very far from the destination and I need to climbed on innumerable staircase to go the place(damn tiring). Luckily on midway can take some rest on Faber Point, during resting I had took some photos there. Faber Point Finally I am near around my destination, I really very excited and almost scream out when I saw the sign board "Henderson Waves". I tried to speed up and hope can reach the bridge as soon as possible. Mount Faber Park Sign Board When I reached there is ar...
