No Tulips! ! ! Where's the gouda cheese??????

Nice set of photos Shaggy! Next time, when the tulips bloom you can take some photos and clone them in to these shots and repost.

How about a "ColorEscape" . . .

Like in escaping Bangkok!

Actually, this is a long exposure using a Big Stopper 10X neutral density filter. It would be almost impossible to get this effect

in normal daylight without such a filter because the exposure time would be too short to capture the silky water look. In this case,

the photo was taken as ISO 50 f/8 and a 10 second exposure. Under low light conditions, such as late afternoon on an overcast

day, using a small aperture you might be able to get a few second exposure with your camera without using a filter. Otherwise,

you will need a neutral density filter, preferrably something equal to a Lee brand Big Stopper or Little Stopper. Oh, a tripod is

a must for this type of shot due to the long exposure.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Goompa! Glad you liked it and also that you saw the bird atop of Buddha's head.

Thanks! It's at a waterfall out in the countryside in Petchabun. DAL and I went on a day trip in the hills there and got some nice shots. Later I'll post photos of the actual waterfall that is downstream a little bit.
