Photographer's Note
After Halong Bay, my next destination was Hanoi. Whenever one is in Hanoi, one will never fail to notice the thousands of cub bikes in the streets. The best thing about this is that I did not encounter any traffic jams at all even in the busiest part of Hanoi. All traffic seems to be moving very smoothly. Other than their 'cyclos' or rickshaws this is a very convenient way of getting around. Everyone seems to want to offer you a ride but make sure that you ask the price first before hopping on board. I am going to upload a couple of shot about the bikers I have taken. Most of them have smiling faces enjoying their ride.
This shot was taken at the junction of Hang Gai and Hang Trong street. I panned from left to right, no flash was used. The foreground lighting was from the shop signboards right above me.

I like this shot slightly better than the other similar photograph as it has more room and a bit better perspective.
It is great that you are trying something different by shooting the street at night. Keep it up.
Great Job.

Hi there!
You have some really nice shots of Vietnam. I've been wanting to go there for so long. I find this one really great, I guess What I most like is their expressions, the real sense of movement and all those lights around them. Good shot indeed NG!
Regards, Anabela
