Thailand Shots

[pabloB]

Firstly I'm a complete amateur and secondly this is really the first time I've had the chance to play with my D300 - I'm a bit peeved as I should have had the Aperture at a higher F no for these landscapes - but that's one lesson learnt. Anyway these shots were taken off Krabi for some reason I got rather fascinated by the sky! Haven't processed at all just resized them so compression may have ruined them slightly! (How do you upload piccies without compression?!)

Please offer your C&C's

Wanted to get up that Landmark Tower (Tallest building in Thailand just off centre right at 79 Floors but ran out of time )

Very nice, a little dark some of them but you can play around in photoshop to bring them out a bit more.

For some reason I quite like number 5. The water blurring onto the rocks is nice

Yes defo agree with that! One thing I'm sruggling is with metering I think - I just leave on Matrix most of time and hope it calcs right for the whole frame in question. lol

and some Light trails - didn't have my tripod here so taking these was a nightmare given exposures were a few seconds! The last one is my favourate!

Anyone travelling to Bangkok - a word of warning the traffic is terrible and the drivers are nutters! Especially in their Tuk Tuks!

The best shots from this set are from 7 onwards imo but i think a lot of the shots are suffereing from too large an aperture. a lot of the landscape pics have things which are OOF and i find it is a little distracting. Not sure if you had a tripod at hand??
They do need processing but I know you haven't done them yet but please do post/update them when you do
Thanks for posting

Yup agree with your points, I don't even no why I didn't go for something like F20 for the landscape pics but it just slipped my mind all part of learning too! Didn't have the tripod with me for these apart from the Cityscape shots where I was going for around a 4sec Exposure. My lenses aren't VR or IS so I'm always going to sruggle when handholding! Still learnt a lot and I'm pleased with that!

Will defo do some processing but for now have to start back at work

Tell me about it, even the ones on mopeds/bikes: Sow an accident happen & the chap on the bike just got up, dusted himself & went on like nothing had happened But the SkyTrain was near the hotel & better to use (got tired of being asked if I want to buy a suit/jewelery/etc by drivers ).

Anyway, here's a panoramic I took from hotel room. Camera is a PowerShot A720 IS.
