i like the composition of this, simple, but strong, the backround doesnt distract the forreground.
nice shoot, however, you may correct those barrel distortion,
using photoshop, filter-pinch -5/-10.
overal..nice..

omigod..am i mumbling again ?...(*o*)

i know it's a bit tilted right? my mistake, dumb of me...i'll fix it later..may be when i'll get rrrr.....home?...;)
dartz wrote on Nov 20, '04
tilt, yup, tapi standart lah, mee to often doing mistake liket that.
barrel distortion yg gue maksud,
kalu kamu perhatiin garis di pintu itu agak melengkung kan,
thats called barrel distortion,
or cigar effect (lengkung kaya cerutu kuba).

pinch filter will be good, or lensdoc plugs in for better result.
aww god., im mumbling again...(@_@)

i'll give u d recipe..
lower the brightness, (15%)
add more contrast (20%)

there u go, a blue skyy :) in detail..
dartz wrote on Nov 20, '04
very graphics, nuansa bidang and gradual formnya kerasa banget..cool..
nice2..
although i'd crop that shadow area on the bars, belang, n distract to the eyes..

ohgod..im mumbling again..T_T

pudz426 wrote on Dec 22, '04
very nice view.. is it smoked/salted fish? hhmm.. i think so..

from the photographic side, i think that we can use small aperture (f11) to obtain a good detail and lighting..

yeah i know but some people calls it that, and some calls it the lying budha. But if i mentioned the sleeping budha to the thai peeps they also understand it anyway ;) and this wat is near the grand palace btw ;)

Hei thanks, i guess this is near siam square, the sky train is above. To tell ya the truth, I took this pic inside a car on the way to my home after i landed, took it with my baby, my fav., the one and only digicam i have, sony cybershot (the old version) ...and proud keeper of it uhm uhm ;)

eheh iya emang mereka strict utk urusan spt ini, baju ga boleh lengan buntung, ga boleh pake celana pendek dan sendal. Jadi kalo sedang ke tempat2 seperti ini harus ya 'ketutup' deh ;) and there's a booth to borrow shoes kok. Deket gw ngambil pic ini. Yah. sayang sekali ga ke dalam..bagus sekali lho ;)

yup, was pretty cheap to go in this wat. which includes to see this sleepin budha. It was renovated when i went in. But yes, i did saw a line of pots with coins on the right side inside. Didnt know what the purpose of it there. Tapi ternyata utk meminta wish yah ;) a nice place indeed.

hahha no that's just a statue of the famous monks made from wax just like those museum in london, Madame tussaud. Except dis museum is filled with famous thai people and it is located in the outskirt of bkk.
