Photo edited in Photoshop to look like a glass painting

I used the following steps when i edited this image taken in Da Nang at Furama Resorts.

1. Select background layer, right click and select “Duplicate Layer” to make a copy
2. Select the copy of background layer
3. Select blending mode “Darken”
4. Select “Filter” -> “Blur” -> “Gaussian blur”
5. Change the “Radius” until you get the wanted effect
6. That’s it

Hoi An is a relaxing small ancient town with many of the old buildings still intact. It also struck me that Hoi An is much more colorful than most other places in Vienam and Asia in general.

It’s was very sunny and blazing hot but we defied the sun and walked around in the old part of the city.

On the way back to the taxi we stopped by to get some food at a place called Mango Rooms and it turned out to be an orgy in colors but very tasteful.

And finally here’s me in the streets of Hoi An.

In the afternoon we went back to Da Nang to catch the evening flight back to Hanoi. The flight was delayed so we didn’t arrive to Noi Bai airport in Hanoi until around 11.00pm at night and i came to my apartment at 12.00pm so i was very, very tired after a long but interesting weekend in central Vietnam.

I had my camera gear in my cabin bag including a medium sized tripod. The airport security guy looked like he’d swallowed a lemon when he saw it but he let me pass the security control anyway.

The flight was slightly delayed and we landed around 7.20am in the morning. After that we took a bus to Furama resorts which is a nice 5 star resort along the beach.

It was blazing hot so we stayed inside until 4.00pm when we went out to the beach to have some fun and swim in the sea. I forgot that i’m not 22 years old any longer and had a little too fun so i fell and hurt my back and i still have trouble to sit on a chair. Stupid me

The water was incredibly nice and warm so i stayed in the water for a long long time. After the beach we had a nice dinner until 10.00pm and after a long day we went to bed.

I had such a good time that i nearly forgot to take images during the first day but here’s a couple of images i took from my balcony.
