Guest Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I feel a bit dirty when I take a creepy photo of a lady on the beach. But, in this case I wanted to practise taking stock photographs. The other reason was that, this was the exactly same location I visited some months ago, and took a (with permission) photos of the two fun loving Russian ladies, I posted here before. The again, maybe we just should enjoy the beauty of the life as it comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 ^^ I'm not 100% sure as the development looks quite different now. I think, based of that laguna and hotel behind it, the photo might be Karon beach, taken from the north end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 One good way to find shooting locations, is to use geocacher's local experience, even if you don't do geocaching yourself. The caches in Phuket are almost all placed to scenic places. I have found some great locations, which I did not knew existed even if I have been living in Phuket for years. https://www.geocaching.com/map/?lat=8.08285&lng=98.4330333333333#?ll=7.98138,98.2806&z=11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of a visit to Phuket very soon, do you have any recommendations of places to visit for shooting? I haven't been there for years and it has changed dramatically based on comments in the Phuket forum so won't be much help. For sunsets, Promthep Cape is probably one of the best places. Might start a topic in the Phuket forum to get current information. You may have to fight your way through the Chinese tourists though.

bundycat Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Another scan, Phuket 1989. Was taking a tour by motorbike around the circumference of the island. Roads around the island where 50% dirt and 50% paved or starting paved. Anyone recognize the point, been a while since I took the shot? Hi TW I suspect this is taken from the lookout near Na Hairn and looking over the beach. There is now a resort , the "yatch club" on the point and most of the beach is gone:) Tsunami came thru here too . I was 16 when i first went here and it was pristine almost like in you shot... love xx and thanks for the memories. cheers BC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh...afternoons at Lada's Bar... love the black and white...can we see the colour ones too please Others on that day are in colour but these are B & W for a reason...the squall was so bad that even the green of the trees was a greyish green, the grey rocks were back and the water was a turd colour of brown. There is no way to enhance the colour of the scans without major effort. Now if you wanna pay for that effort I will do it! However...it will be what is known as a false colour image as I previously stated what the day looked like. It was not a good day for Kodachrome 64 but that was all I had in my Nikonos IV-A at the time. Lens was Nik's UW [email protected].

I would say it's possible Nai Harn, but not sure as the ground formation is imho different, even if taking in to consideration different photo angles. I guess I have to ride there one day to get a clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
