Damnoen Saduak floating market, Thailand is an amazing place, despite being way over commeritalised in the last 20 years, to the point of almost being on the avoid list, yet it is still a place where its possible to capture some unique photos.

It is very commen for the young boys of the family to take tourists out on trips to lake, they are by sitting along side their fathers and at about aage 10 the drive the boats alone. There are huge blocks strapped to the pedals becuase their feet cant reach but always trusted to handle the boats alone.

Sitting on the Galata Bridge which spans the Golden Horn waterway and faces the Bosphorus. The sun shines directly onto the bridge and cafe and bars on the lower level creating some amzing light.
This is a very famous footbridge that has been used in countless movies and music videos, it is in fact a DLR station at Poplar just opposite Canary Wharf.
Shot at sunset using a DJI Mavic Pro drone.
A morning to remember... oh boy! It was a very short sleep but it was more than worth it as this sunrise, experience and location was one of the best sunrises I have experienced. There was a huge amount of luck involved but the positioning of the rising sun trough the buildings was just perfect. At the same time I was flying the drone getting video and photos from a huge number of amazing perspectives with such great light! What a place.

I am Mike Golding, I started photography in 2001 with my first digial SLR, the Canon Digital Rebel 300D, this camera changed everything for my photography. Since then I have not looked back and while I still own several Film cameras the immeadiacy of digital is what I enjoy most.
Even though I touched on photography during my Foudation course in Art and Design at St Martin's School if Art, I didn't follow this artistic choosing IT and software development instead. However photography has been a big part of my life ever since and my creative urge is still there and I love the process of seeing and capturing something nobody else sees.
Back in 2001 I bought my first dgital SLR the Canon ESO Rebel, since then I moved away from Canon completely, went to Sony and today I shoot predominantly on Leica but still have my trsty Sony A7R Mk II.
