An area of SW Samui, not even sure that I could find again.... many hidden away "secret beaches" on Samui!

Win, can you please explain how you made that image in post #1. Not graphic details of the stitch, how many images, how you got the curve etc ?

[candypants]

if you stand in one place and take five or 6 photos starting left to right (or vice versa) and stich in photoshop, you usually end up with a curv, the point of which is the center shot where you shot straight forward

the two panos of singapore in this post are prime examples. the more photos off of center the more pronounced the curve

Does one of those panoramic heads that mount on top of the tripod fix the curve?

There is also the fisheye panoramic method. Not sure which Kan is using though.

Sorry to quote this, but it has to be, from Kan

Only extremely narrow-minded people would insist that beaches are on the coast. 100 km inland, Kanchanaburi boasts its own beach at Tha Makham, about 10km south of town. As the photos show, it has all the facilities normally associated with the better-know beaches. Thanks to Kan Win for the link.

As I said all you need is water and sand to make a Beach, so no excuses now is there

No, they are for taking 360 degree pano photos as far as I know.

Please re-read the above quote by 'candypants'

Cheers candypants for your input

One of me earlier works of Pano Photos for you samuijimmy.

Taken with Olympus C-2500L

One remembers years ago, in about 2003, that I was in this restaurant and had to move a few chairs and a table to take this Pano shot.

Funnily enough Win, my mission this last few weeks is to photograph most of the "main" beaches on Samui.... just trying to get my head around making sure they are correctly named and in a clock wise sequence

This one at Hua Thanon, (same area as yours, so not much has changed)

This wins the prize for probably the most disgustingly filthy beach in Thailand, perhaps even Asia! This is just as you come in from Lamai...

This is just the other side of the Village and I pretty certain it the same beach you show .... If one walks along a 100 metres it starts to get quite nice....

But .... less than that so same same.... I can live with seeing seaweed and fallen branches, it's the blessed plastic...

It can be a very good beach to photograph where they repair the fishing boats ... not always easy to keep the crap out of the shot!

Chao Lao, Chanthaburi, yesterday late afternoon/evening

 

Light breeze off the sea was pleasantly cooling; hired tubes and bounced about on the water sipping on Bacardi lime and soda. 

 

Later, dinner under the trees.

It's a tough life, sometimes wonder how I cope.

I presume that is sewer lines Win? at least the sand is cleaner looking ??? ....

Well at least there are some idealic beaches around Samui that you'll hardly see a soul ....

[Dancealot]
