Ummm... I think he was killed by the Burmese, late 18th century, when they invaded AyuttayaJorgen,

Thanks Arne - I agree, may need more work, being a pano, the polarizer effect varied greatly across the field of view, so I attemped to burn the left side down a bit, also there is a bit of artifacting that is not visible in prints up to 20". Have not printed the whole thing bigger yet, but have plans to do so. Printed a section of the middle equivalent to 60" long to see how the image structure held up and was blown away to say the least. More PP will have to be done or undone and corrected around the left third or so before I print the entire image that size. As the first pano I have seriously attempted I was pleased over all with how just CS3 worked. Will check out PTGui, thanks for the heads up.Nice shots Jorgen. Hope you are safe in the present turmoil in Thailand.
Carlos, great fireworks shot, exposure nicely balanced.
Don, I like your pano, but the sky looks a bit odd. I've had good results with PTGui, btw.
Stuart - thanks for the headsup, but alot of what looks like dust and poor burning in on the posted image is just artifacting. I would guess coming from a 16 bit layered .tiff[200-400mb] to an jpeg web image is just that. I took a look at a 20 inch print again after you mentioned it and it is just that. Nothing noticeable in it or crops from larger sizes I have made to check certain areas....If you are going to print big make sure you get those two identical dust spots in the upper right too! They will drive you crazy if you don't...
Since you ask, here's a description I made for some friends after my arrival at the airport last night, totally unaware of the situation. Photo with D80 and Tamron 17-50 @ 17mm and f/2.8 (I think):Nice shots Jorgen. Hope you are safe in the present turmoil in Thailand.
Stuart, many thanks! I've struggled a bit cropping this image, as posted it's only sligthly cropped because I found the chequered pattern to the left interesting. But there's detail enough for a closer crop (and possibly rotation), I might post something along those lines later.If you are going to print big make sure you get those two identical dust spots in the upper right too!

Arne -- that ice abstraction is really superb. It has an interesting sort of fractal 3D effect. I like the current crop, but it might be interesting to see a tighter crop of just the distressed section of the ice as well.
Staying calm and trying to see the funny side is the only way, I'm afraid. This is a serious situation though, not because it's physically dangerous, but because it will affect the tourism negatively, which means a lot of people will lose their jobs. Add to that the financial crisis, which affects the manufacturing businesses (Nikon's layoffs is a good example of that. They have their big factory in Ayuttaya, just north of Bangkok.), and many families will be in for a tough year in 2009.Jorgen, good to hear you're OK, and even making fun of your tribulations. That's the spirit .
