Vietnam in 15 Instagram Photos

I’m currently hard at work sorting through the 4,000+ images I snapped during my visit to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. However, while the final “National Geographic Standard” shots are starting to go up on flickr (view them here) I’ve been posting Instagram edits taken during the trip. For those that follow my photography, for Instagram I post unique images, a blend of dSLR and iPhone 6 captured shots and/or HDR edits of the photos you’d see on flickr in a more true-to-life format. So, without further delay, here are 15 of my favorite Instagram shots from Vietnam.

Paddle power. This was the form of transportation we took out to our larger river boat. It was a fun novelty and a great look at some of the back channels along the Mekong River. #vietnam #hdr #travel #latergram #goexplore #ventureout #mekong #igers

It really cannot get more simultaneously spectacularly badass and adorable than this. I think this may be my favorite bike combination so far. #hdr #people #vietnam #mekong #igers #igersdenmark #travel #bbctravel #moped #cute #mytho

Made it to Vietnam. Found the Independence Palace. Went inside. Played with tanks. Perks of good timing? Overlapping with a friend who speaks Vietnamese and is showing me all over. #hdr #vietnam #igersdenmark #travel #explore

A quick stroll through My Tho’s sprawling morning market. My senses are in a delighted overload. From the live fish, to meats and sprawling veg vendors…also saw moped riding one handed driving waiters. Amazing #vietnam. #hdr #travel #bbctravel #mytho #igersdenmark #igers

A stroll exploring my first real rice paddy in the fields outside My Tho in a rural part of the Mekong Delta. HD versions of my Vietnam photos are now up on Flickr including a ton of shots that I won’t post here.
