before changing her mind and filing an unspecified police report.

this is the report:

Bangkok, Sept. 03, 2014

Police Station xxxxx

report:

k. Pitchanart reported today that someone posted something about her on the Internet.

received by:

SubLt Seenitallnow

Thai police... ,

first they extort, rob and steal the money, and then they try to launder it by encroaching on land? God bless them, for their minds are feeble.

He also said that the babies that the Japanese man had brought out of Thailand to Cambodia were living in good conditions but he had no idea of Mr Mitsutoki's whereabouts.

...and how exactly does he know that?

down, into the dungeon...

what the heck was i thinking?

...sorry, it's not a Buddha!

holy cow

riddle me this

^^^ That would be a good idea M however...out of say 100 photogs you'd have 100

different ways of achieving a good end result. Then many would copy each others

stuff and in the end...there would be little individual creativity...just mass duplication.

!00 eyes see the same subject matter differently...

Tips & tricks would be nice...to an extent...because one ends up just copying

anothers work/workflow in the end.

As in your submissions...personally I like the end results, how you got there is

really no concern to me & I'd rather you keep that to yourself...or many of us would

be duplicating your work/work style....you see?!

Take my strange "Blue Chair" pic...it begs to let the viewer know what little was

done to get it to pop...and that's just it...very little was done. Folks who spend

some time in the digital darkroom will know just how litle was done and doing

so little is what I like best of all. Mind you I'm not saying I get it right "in camera"

100% of the time however...coming from the ancient daze of film...we who shot

heaps back then had to get it right in camera at least 90% of the time...without

using the motor drive!

I'd definitely go for a knobology/clickology thread on todays software as it can be

rather daunting learning something new...not to mention time consuming.

How U say sir?

Well..., it's about Photoshop and altering pictures to achieve an effect. The manual is endless and the tutorials are tiring. I would rather discover a before/after result here and get the idea of applying the same to my unique picture and composition and maybe it works for me, and maybe not. I doubt it will create clones of somebody's style..., however, it seems a bit tedious to remember and recreate a particular workflow on a forum thread, and there doesn't seem to be much interest, so the thread either lives, or dies and I will not shed a tear either way, sniff.

First rule in solving a problem is to identify the root cause.

When a faucet is left turned on and water is flooding the basement, you would first turn off the faucet.

Seems quite a number of posters here are young, or ignorant about history.

Read up on the Boat People of the late 1970s, after the Vietnam War. Why are there none now? What closed that faucet?

Are you a plumber, by any chance?

“For me, jail is normal. It’s not the first time I have been inside,” he said with a smile.

...wanna see my tats?

“I was not surprised but I was very disappointed (about being arrested) because of all the support I have given to officials in the past,”

...translation not required.

“During that time I received so many phone calls that my battery died. After that, I was advised by my lawyer to surrender at any police station nearby,”

...had to use a phone booth, no change and the lawyer's number is on the dead mobile - a true nightmare!

This is an exceptional piece of reporting. All you other media, take a good look and see how it's done! It's concise, sequential, uncomplicated and impartial - the story on Pattaya One even got a cliff hanger.

The only problem is the content: shoplifting...really?!

How do you get those rings to appear around the sun?

I believe they are actually sun flares. Normally, sun flares are at an angle from the sun and get bigger with distance. In this instance, my lens was centered in the same plane with the sun without any tilt whatsoever - so the flares become concentric and travel straight to your eye, and get bigger. The problem is, you can't really tell in the view finder if you hit it spot on, or not - so, it's one of those lucky shots...

That's a really nice effect, but I think it has more to do with your camera and optics.

Sun flares happen in the Sun and are local events out there (except when the flares eject particles to the earth and mess with ionosphere and therefore cause northern lights etc.).

Halo would be closer one and happens in the upper atmosphere. The light from the sun reflect from the ice crystals which causes the ring effect around the sun. The area inside the ring is darker and outside it's brighter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(optical_phenomenon)

The next one would be rainbows where the sun's lights are reflected inside water droplets.

On your photo, the rings don't look like anything above. The outermost ring comes to the front of the yellow thingy which means the the light bends somewhere very locally. Therefore I think it's inside your camera.

What kind of camera and settings did you use?

Sorry, I meant to write 'lens flare', not sun flare - this is purely Singha's fault! The camera was a Minolta A2, fixed lens with f 11, 1/160, fill flash
