By now you are probably saying, “enough with the diagonal photos”. But as I have said before, I snapped a ton of diagonal photos on the first day because we were RACING through the sites. And…we are STILL on the first day, I think there is even one more temple before lunch! When I saw all of the diagonal photos the first night, I realized I had WAY too many, even for my own tastes.
Scrapbooking this weekend, I got A LOT of practice correcting camera distortion, a filter in Photoshop. This feature helps you “straighten” images that have “barrel” distortion. Example: straighten pillars/walls that are bowing inward or “square” a roof or side of a building.
The funny thing is…I just realized…my diagonal photos don't have barrel distortion! Maybe having so many diagonal photos is not such a bad thing after all!
This page actually falls in my “straggler photos I don't know what to do with” category. I like to call these final pages my “last look” pages. They are not my best photos, but photos I think deserve to be in my albums. And surprising some of these “last look pages” are my favorites. Maybe it's because I have to work harder to bring them together. For this one, I incorporated one of my favorite scrapbooking effects, the old “cut the background paper and slip the photo under” trick.
I wish I knew more about what why these school girls are writing on the back of roof tiles. I think they are writing down prayers or wishes that eventually end up on building. This may just be a simple way for the wat to make money, but the school kids took it very seriously. There was no coaching involved, these kids were donating generously. Actually, donating generously, was a common theme I saw at every temple.
