Pooklook

I think you echoed the frustrations that many of us many of us have experienced. Well said.

If your Thai is marginal

And your zoom is in the room

And you are low on baht

Then shoot from behind…….

Candid Street in the City of Angels

WIRES

They are your constant companion beside every road .

They spoil many a beautiful shot.

They remind me of a Kaosarn hair weave gone horribly wrong.

They encroach and block many a temple and tourist attraction.

Thailand is beautiful but the wires are like a national bad hair day.

They are the biggest frustration as you try to photogragh the land of smiles

Kan Win I get the error message below when I try follow the link....

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

There are no categories that you have permission to view

Which ads do you mean in the Phuket forum, the ones embedded in the first and fifth post or?

For me the Phuket forum shows ads the same places as the other forums.

I am a TV platinum member so the entire site has no ads except for the Phuket forum.

Look under Mycontrols- Options- Purchase paid services to learn more.

I think it does an OK job but over time you gotta go in and do

a manual clean....The dust inside the viewfinder bugs me also.

Ill clean both while I'm at it...For peace of mind I do it myself.

nice photo, it really cleaned up the light,

now you got me hunting for mine...

its around here somewhere.....the only

thing in my bag now is expo disc.......

Hi Chris,

Were you using the internal flash?

Kan Win, we dined at the Keeree Tara restaurant. I think it’s the finest

cuisine to be had in the Land of Kan. Here’s one slightly overcooked

Just the way you like it.

Just a few hundred meters from the bridge over the River Kwai

correctly spelled (KWAE) is where this museum is located.

Aeon, I shot for years and never really tapped into the potential of what the camera could do.

Now I get natural light shots I always used to miss. Instead talking about the ones that

got away I come home with some clean shots in low light and now with many of the

cameras having ajustable ISO nobody should wait. Its nice when you dont use the flash.

You can just blend into the environment and get some good candid shots. I think my next

thread will be Thai Candid......

Yes I know I was joking.

I understand the reason of your topic, and I agree with what you say, I always use my camera in manual mode.

by the way I was at that cosplay event too http://www.flickr.com/photos/salvus/sets/72157621994057213/

Aeon I checked out your pics and cosplay #25 was my favorite.

Its fun to do the Bangkok circuit......I got a couple hundred

photos from this event...doing a thread every now and then

is good for me. I stop working on the house and sit down

and play with the photos a bit.....a nice escape......

Vulcan my intent on this thread was just to get people who have never

played with the ISO to give it a try so I have purposely stayed away

from being technical about the subject or my camera. Aeon I did go outside

for a bit and now another ISO tip dont forget to lower the ISO when

you go outside. I used 100 ISO for this shot.

You need a good preshot routine so you don’t

forget!! to change the ISO when lighting conditions change.

This event was Oishi COSPLAY.

thanks for the original post it made me start looking around and I learned alot about the bags.....

Ill check out the Panthip location......Prices started at what ??????????

Follow your heart and your budget....sometimes they go in opposite directions........

I have had every camera from the 10D up in canon and its a fun ride to see the difference...

your collection of lenses is the key....... and your desire to kick it up a notch......

I say go for it and get another body......50D is great and because of the cropping factor no

falloff......

This is a screenshot from the AEON ATM. Interesting that they address the concerns of the

customer. Happy to support them for making a public statement and not following the crowd.

Time to get out the buckets and do leak patrol.

Its starting to rain pretty hard here in Buriram

I probably should have called this thread shooting with only the

camera. Higher ISO lets you get away without using a flash or

tripod. Many of the Wats don’t want flash and I don’t feel comfortable

using it inside a Wat anyway. With higher ISO you’ll get shots you

always used to miss!!! I agree Astral, the ambient light can be a factor

and that will make you want to start playing with the white balance

to obtain the most realistic color. Many things can be adjusted with

software but there is no substitute for bringing home the best possible

photo to work with.

When flash is not possible you can play with the ISO and get shots

in low light. I selected 1000 ISO. The higher the ISO the more noise

in the photo so go up just enough to get a clean shot.

The Mon bridge, Thailands longest wooden bridge is broken in many places

and in need of a great deal of mending but it appears it's mostly jury rigging

that is the order of the day.
