If you go to Myanmar, you&#8217;ve got to take a boat around this\u00a0lake for amazing photos of the unique life\u00a0of the <em>Intha<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Inle Lake is a huge lake in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shan_State\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shan State<\/a> of Myanmar. The fisherman of Inle Lake are famous for their unusual leg rowing but the lake itself has so much more going on.<\/p>\n<p>There are homes on the water all built on stilts. There are <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlustandlipstick.com\/blogs\/wandershopper\/2013\/08\/23\/lotus-weavers-of-inle-lake-myanmar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lotus weavers<\/a>, silversmiths, blacksmiths, restaurants, again all on stilts. There are even gardens and farms built on floating beds.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone boats around from spot to spot. There are literally no roads here, instead there are paths through the floating plants.<\/p>\n<p>I know, it sounds like I&#8217;m making this up! So let&#8217;s get to the photography and you&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<h2>Myanmar Travel<\/h2>\n<p>These days the question of travel to Myanmar comes up a lot. When I visited, it was in the brief shining moment where it appeared democracy and tolerance had taken foot in the country, under the watchful eye of Aung San Suu Kyi.<\/p>\n<p>However, a couple of years later, the news of the systematic killing of the Rohingya broke out, I was saddened to realize that perhaps it had all been a fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p>Today I would think twice before going to Myanmar, but at the same time, I don&#8217;t think the international community should withhold support to the people of Myanmar. Most are poor and have little to no say in what their military does, against them or the Rohingya.<\/p>\n<p>So if visiting Myanmar, do be careful where your money goes and try to ensure it stays in the hands of the poorest who are simply trying to make a living.

As you approach them be sure to position for a good shot.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the reflections can add a beautiful symmetry to the shots of the temples. All those spires reflected in the glossy water.<\/p>\n<p>I know I&#8217;m breaking the rule of thirds here but the reflection makes it worth it.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2345-800x500.jpg\" alt=\"Inle Lake Photography\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2345-800x500.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2345-360x225.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2345-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2345.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-9605-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/800s &#402;\/9 @ ISO 640<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>29mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>Canon EOS 70D<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>October 2, 2016, 3:39 pm<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>And at times, the temples can be very unsymmetrical as well, like this oddball pagoda.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9532 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_2381-533x800.jpg\" alt=\"Inle Lake Photography Guide\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-9532-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/250s &#402;\/7.1 @ ISO 640<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>20mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>Canon EOS 70D<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>October 2, 2016, 4:43 pm<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<h2>Fisherman of Inle Lake<\/h2>\n<p>The most famous sight is the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/travel\/travel_news\/article-3102207\/Beautiful-images-capture-balancing-fishermen-Burma-fish-standing-one-leg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fishermen of Inle Lake<\/a>, who row using one foot to propel the boat.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds pretty exhausting but they are so used to it, they make it look somewhat effortless.<\/p>\n<p>This young man was especially graceful.\u00a0I took a couple of shots and had a tough time deciding which one I liked best.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1943-800x640.jpg\" alt=\"Inle Lake Fisherman\" width=\"800\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1943-800x640.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1943-360x288.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1943-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_1943.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-9523-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/640s &#402;\/6.3 @ ISO 320<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>135mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>Canon EOS 70D<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>October 2, 2016, 9:21 am<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>You want to overexpose on these shots.
