Getting to explore over 2000 ancient Buddhist monuments in a locations that still is relatively quiet in terms of tourism had huge appeals – I always like to discover the unknown and thats getting harder to do these days. In my mind I always knew that Bagan would be the location I was most looking forward to capturing. This way I can make the most out of the atmosphere, mood and colours in my images. As with a lot of travel-based photographers I shoot most of my photos within dusk and dawn, also known as the ‘Golden Hour’.

Nikon’s D5600 has a high ISO range, so I was confident that I'd have the chance to shoot with it early in the morning and late at night, to achieve some decent results. There is also the option to have a time delay, so I would be able to press the trigger button and then get the phone out of sight. After a test shot, which would instantaneously show on my phone, I'd then could tweak the camera settings from the app and take the shot again. In Myanmar I was able to connect to the app, get in front of the lens and using the “live view” screen to get into position. Like many modern day social media savvy solo travellers, I like to be within my shots from time to time. My laptop battery doesn’t last too long, so I wouldn’t have chance to edit until it was charged.Īnother way in which I used the app was to control the camera settings and to take self-portraits s. Often if 24 hours had past and I hadn't managed to save or edit the photos on my computer, I would have missed the opportunity to post and moved onto the next day’s content. For example straight after I had watched the sunrise in Bagan I shared a video I took with my phone but I was able to follow the next Stories post up with a photo that I had taken with the camera. It actually led me to share more quality content onto Instagram stories and Facebook, in almost real time. Having a seamless process like this and being able to cut out the time it takes to get photos from the camera to an external hard drive is a lifesaver. Using Nikon’s Snapbridge app I was able to edit photos and upload them to my social channels whilst on the move. I intended to cover a lot of ground too over the month, but I still wanted to be able to edit and share photos whilst on the move. Myanmar is becoming more modern, but I often found myself in locations where I wouldn't have access to a cafe or easily find Wi-Fi. I also used the screen when I wanted to get the camera low to water for interesting reflection shots, to take photos of animals at their eye-level, to view what I was shooting when the camera was on a tripod and when attempting to take photos from above head height when wanted to experiment with different perspectives. In this case as I was taking a portrait of the fisherman's face, which I wanted to focus on. I was also able to be certain that I'd got the focus in the correct place.

For example, when I jumped onto a tiny boat of a local fisherman at Inle Lake ( see full range of this particular photo series below) I was able to get the camera low, I could extend my hand out below and in front of me, bend the screen to a position so I could clearly see what I was shooting and adjust the composition and framing.

The Nikon D5600 vari-angle screen allowed me to capture shots that I wouldn't be able to get accurately with a normal camera. I started my trip in Yangon and then made my way up to Mandalay and Bagan, then over to Inle Lake and finally heading down South to more remote locations that had just opened to tourism.īelow is my guide to Myanmar, in which I describe how I used the Nikon D5600 during my trip, as well as the best locations and top photography spots. So, I made a plan to finally head to Myanmar! I’d spend a month travelling the country, armed with The Nikon D5600 and the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G and AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR lenses, to capture the landscape, people and culture as best as I could. Images of different looking tribes, cheerful looking monks and landscapes and temples that looked totally unique to anywhere that I had travelled to before. Over the years I became more and more intrigued by the country and through the internet and Instagram, came across fascinating and colourful portraits of locals. I’d fallen for SE Asia and had always intended to get to know surrounding countries, yet Myanmar had been off limits to tourists back then, so I'd have to focus efforts on exploring elsewhere. The first time I'd ever travelled alone was to Thailand at the age of 19 years old and I had instantly caught the travel bug.
