All In A Days Work – Nam Com Basin, Vietnam – kap10bob – Guest Photographer
PhotoBotos.com welcomes Bob (aka kap10bob). kap10bob is a man of few words… many of our guest submissions are several paragraphs long – not kap10bob’s though. His email to us only said that he took this photo in the Nam Com Basin in Southeast Vietnam where he works on an offshore facility. Apparently, in kap10bob’s case, a picture is truly worth a 1,000 words!! What came to your mind when you first looked at it?
If you have a moment, I would encourage you to have a look at kap10bob’s blog http://kap10bob.wordpress.com/ He has traveled the world and has many interesting photos. kap10bob has labeled himself a “trying hard photographer” and “newbie blogger”. I think that he should keep up the great work!
Share and Enjoy

Thank you for posting a stunning picture of my fatherland! Feel excited to see it here kap10bob! Did you have chance to work in Vietnam or a passionate traveller?
I also work offshore and this picture reminds me of how I feel when all I can see is the sea. Such a vast and breathtakingly beautiful part of the planet and a wonderful picture, thank you.
Hi Lorna, thank you for your kind comment. It seems that we both answered the call of the sea. Safe seas ahead always and good luck on finishing up your book. All the best to you, cheers!
Love this shot, it reminds me of this:

Thank you for loving my shot. I think that image of Victoria Skyline is a post processed HDR photo which is also very nice
All that blue sea! It looks surreal and incredibly beautiful.
Thank you so much Keisha for liking my photo. I can send you the high resolution copy if you wish to have it printed. Cheers!
This is gorgeous. Such pristine water.
Thank you eof
This is a wonderful shot.. The clear water showcased in this photo is absolutely breathtaking.
Thank you very much for the compliments… I am so glad that you liked my shot. Cheers Babygirl!
Excellent contrast here!!
Good morning! (From my location GMT+7)
I am overwhelmed with all your very encouraging comments… thank you so much!
The blue came out naturally without any enhancement from the original shot. What I only did was auto toning and down-sampling the in-cam jpeg then watermarked. The contrast was created I think due to the shadow of the ship’s accommodation where I was standing when I took the shot. It was around 1400H (2PM) when this photo was taken and the sun was setting after meridian passage.
That is amazing!!! Beautiful!
Thanks to you Claudia
fantastic
Thank you
The blue is brilliant. Beautiful!
Thanks a lot lenla
The blue got to me. Beautiful!
Swimming anywhere else seems pointless. That water looks like heaven
If you are not afraid of deep water then this is the place to be… cheers!
there is a god. thanks…peace be
Amen and amen…
Wow, the blue in this photo is amazing.
Thank you very much. I’ve browsed your website and I am amazed by your work. I dream to be a great artist like you in future. Cheers!
This photo reminds me of why I dig the color blue so much. The little people in red give it great contrast. It’s an excellent picture from a “trying hard photographer”. I think bob is doing an excellent job.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I am really elated and encouraged to keep on trying hard in the field of photography. Cheers to you!
I call this “Into the Blue”….definitely where I would love to be right now!
Thank you Branimira… “Into the Blue” sounds like a good movie title. Cheers!
That water looks so pretty.
I wish the sea stays as pretty as this all the time. But I bet you don’t want to see it with 6-meter seas and swell during typhoon season. Thank you dear for your comment.
The picture does scream a 1000 words, its absolutely beautiful! I will be sure to check out his blog.
Thank you Vina… see you in my blog
Thank you lawrenceez and PhotoCrazy for you kind comments. Both of you have wonderful websites that I can learn a lot to improve my photography. Cheers!
How big is that pond?!?!?
Like others, I love the blues. But what I also like is the dramatic contrast between the obvious implication of speed in the turmoil behind the boat, and the calm in front. The reflection of the boat emphasises this beautifully. Then it is further enhanced by the framing – what a dramatic effect from such a small interaction with a vast scene – beautiful. Congratulations. Great shot!
Great variation of color blue, and I love the ripples behind the boat.

Thank you so much for featuring me as a guest photographer. This is very much unexpected and I am truly humbled! Thank you very much indeed!
