Beautiful clip. Wish I can have a camera like that to capture the beauty of Laos. The price of that camera can buy you a nice car and even a home in the mid-west.
With that camera, I can have my own TV station.
The clip looks somewhat like Laos,
if you didn’t say, I wouldn’t have known.
I never knew that those colorful lizards look like that
closed up, nice that the camera can capture it so close. I don’t think an average person would buy
anything like this, wouldn’t be able to afford it for one thing. I just wish for a camera that would take
sharp images, such as being able to capture the cloud, the sunset, and view
that looks 3 dimensions. Thanks for
sharing Sim, it’s good to know what they used to film something like this.
