Tracer Round Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I think you have to understand why it is you want to take photos. I am interested in, among other things, taking an image that can be manipulated in terms of the impression it makes on the viewer, with the aim of creating something that, if enlarged to the size that you'd see in an art gallery, would catch your eye. Here, for instance, is a photo of a section of a tiki torch I made for the back yard. It started out as a plain color snap. Whether or not you like it is somewhat beside the point (although certainly we usually take photos to be impressive to others) since I like it. There are plenty of things to experiment with here in Southeast Asia. This one I'm not over the moon about, but it's also something along these same lines...I guess for me the idea is, hopefully, that when someone looks at what I've done, they pause and think, "Hmmm...that's interesting/different."

astral Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Landscape wise it's a joke - green, green and more green, and a bit of brown dust........ I do not agree with you. In my first few years in LOS I had to go back to the UK for a few weeks. A family friend commented about how colourful the UK garden looks in the spring. By comparison with the colours of the flame trees in April/May or the verdant colour of young rice in the paddies, it was nothing............. Perhaps you need to look with a new eye?

AndyM Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'd not say it was a boring country to photograph, far from it. I would say that it's a country where it's all too easy to run into cliched photos, something which I've still yet to fully conquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Nice photos AndyM.....where in the land of smiles did you take them?The third pic is nice.....non of the photos have any data..what kind of camera did you use......they all look professional Hi Poolook, Apologies for my delayed reply - I don't check back here too often. These were taken on Ko Panyi, and in Lampang too. The camera used is a Canon 1Ds Mark III, and the lens used for the monk photo (my brother-in-law ) is a Canon 24-70L. I'm currently back in Thailand shooting only with a little Panasonic GF1, and a 20mm f1.7 Pancake lens: (Taken in Pai, Chiang Mai, Lampang and Krungthep) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) I'm almost embarrassed to show my offerings after the last photos but these, I believe, are a classic example of why you should never be without your camera in Thailand.

Sawadee Thanks Win, I'm still not sure what they were doing, diving for something that had been thrown in the river perhaps. I just happened to be at Khun Korn Nam Tok National Park near Chiang Rai showing a visitor around and came across the group of young monks, apparently with Mums and Dads in tow, so I asked permission and started snapping. Very unusual I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really as Tom Jones is coming to Thailand http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Tom-Jones-Co...ok-t330873.html so "it's not unusual" Back to your post, the young monks are there only for a splash and dash as they are only in monk-hood to please their Mums and Dads, perhaps for a week or two, may be more Great photos 'sceadugenga' nothing boring about Old Thailand is it.
