Kulen is a very attractive series of waterfalls, in the Phnom Kulen national park, 45km north west of Siem Riep. The first set of falls is rather touristy, but the larger, second set, shown here, which is accessible via a set of steep wooden steps is less developed, and early in the morning can be quite quiet. These long exposure shots were taken hand held, and without using filters, with my OM1 camera and new 8-25 f4 (16-50 full frame equivalent) lens. The computational power of the Olympus camera means that for waterfalls in particular, the tedious and error prone requirement for a solid tripod and filters is no longer needed, which is a breakthrough for travel photography, at least for me.
