A popular tourist destination for Russians and foreigners is Lake Baikal. It is the largest freshwater lake by volume in the world and is a beautiful place to visit. Not only are there fresh water seals (called nerpas), but an abundance of fish. These dried fish were selling in the market and provided and interesting shot.
In July of 2007, my wife and I were in Mongolia while on our Trans Siberian and Trans Mongolian Railway trip. we spent a couple of days in Terelj National Park just a hour or so outside of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It was at a ger camp where we had the privilege of staying in one.
Late at night, all we had was candlelight. There was a mirror in our ger and so it was time to capture some night shots. This one turned out well. I simply held the camera as steady as possible and snapped a picture of myself in the mirror with the candle at the base.
