Very interesting photo with cooking!

For some unknown reasons, this photo was featured on Flickr Explore yesterday, and I'm surprised with over 220 favs at the moment.
In fact, that was taken 3 years ago and never posted until few d1ays ago. I found that when digging my archive.
I am also more convinced that never trash my negatives eventhough more than 90% of them could be worthless. You may have bypassed good shots at the beginning or your vision may has changed.

Never throw away a negative. Sooner or later you will regret it.

Very nice picture, Trung!

Thanks Erik, for sure that I never throw any of my negatives.
I am very scary when occasionally reading some mates on RFF here advise to only keep the keepers of a roll and trash the rest. Well, not my case certainly. The cooking photo above contineoulsy amazed me with 366 favs and 12k views now, wooow.
Here is Another one taken on the same time

This too is a very beautiful shot, Trung.

It also surprises me often wich pictures get fav's on Flickr and wich do not. However, sometimes the pictures really deserve the fav's!

Nice work, Trung!

Taking photos in the rain offers plenty of surprises! Go out shoot!

 

[Erik van Straten]

Super Angulon shots are Super!

Nice work, Trung!

Thank Vincent, Unfortunately I have little chance to go out and shoot recently. Hence, digging my archive instead.
Having said that, I have stocked 6 rolls waiting to be developed.

This is about harvest time in Mu Cang Chai, a favorit destination for taking photos of Terrace rice field in Northern Area of Vietnam.
More from Wikipedia

The rice terrace fields in La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha and Ze Xu Phinh have been recognized as national landscapes by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. There have been local festivals in Yen Bai and the Mu Cang Chai rice terrace fields have been used to attract both domestic and international tourists. This region of northwest Vietnam is poor and relatively undeveloped has a rich natural environment.[citation needed] In recent years,[when?] Mu Cang Chai has been a popular place to visit in the north of Vietnam, particularly when the rice harvest starts around the beginning of October.

Recently found a roll of film while clearing my room that was shot 5 years ago when I visited Ho Chi Minh City. Immediately got it developed and scanned.

Not Hanoi, but thought I'd share some of the photos from this roll:
