A Watchdog, Fish and Cookies

After a short cruise we landed on a floating platform with a braking dog in a cage and lots of fish in nets. I wasn’t prepared to buy a fish. I didn’t bring grill nor cooler bag so I had to pass. Fresh fish and a hot and humid climate doesn’t mix well.

But I there was a small shop on a boat where I bought cookies and mineral water.

I tried to get used to the 1.4/35 as my longest lens but it’s impossible. I had no problems with just the 14 and the 35mm lens in the cities but now I missed a long lens. For the first time in my Asia trips I had the chance to spend some time outside of one of the mega cities and I immediately figured out that I need to get a tele lens. And I’m afraid that the 1.2/56 will not be enough.

Of course you can always crop into the image but it is just not the same. I missed to compress a landscape with a longer lens. A 70-200 zoom was always one of my most important lenses when traveling especially for the landscape shots.

I guess I have to get a tele zoom for my XP1.

There were a lot of tourist ships on the water but it wasn’t busy at this stop. I have no idea how big the area is but I was surprised that we were the only boat on that platform. It was just a short stop, nobody bought fish so we moved on.
