Beautiful b/w. Really nice image.
Hello Lloyd, speaking of the devil... did you solve the M9 lines issue ? Just a rethorical question, i'll check the appropiate section...Beautiful b/w. Really nice image.
Not to forget the wonderful Klongs and waterways that connected Bangkok, when I move to Thailand in 1987, they were still there. I remember my first apartment was a backed by rain forest with wild animals and all. It was wonderful to have that in the center of the city, unfortunately a year later someone bought it from the government and started a construction project, unfortunately the rest is history...Here's a street photo for you; Sukhumvit road in Bangkok, hidden among all the concrete. Think about it: 40 years ago, the temples were the landmarks of Bangkok :shocked:
I see that you were laboring away David. Her bathing suit reminds of Ursula Andress in the first James Bond movie, it must be the belt!Had the pleasure of shooting with a new model this Labor Day weekend. Her fair skin got pink from the sun pretty quickly so I opted for B&W.
Actually, there are no temples on this stretch of Sukhumvit, and there never was. Don't ask me why, but one reason may be that a large portion of the area is owned by ethnic Indians.Impressive POV Jorgen, for a none less impressive cityscape...
I can't even make one single temple out with all the darn buildings
On the technical side, is it me or is there a perceptible blue cast on this picture ?
Interesting color... and oh my, Bangkok really has changed! :bugeyes:Here's a street photo for you; Sukhumvit road in Bangkok, hidden among all the concrete. Think about it: 40 years ago, the temples were the landmarks of Bangkok :shocked:

That would be a shock! As for the M9, I resolved the problem by returning it to Leica. Luckily, the rep was still at the shop. I've written a little more about it on that other thread, but basically, I'm on the sidelines until at least the third shipment, and may opt to wait a little longer while things work though.Thanks, Cindy.
These couple of pictures really makes one feel like he was there watching the parade and remembering it afterwards.
(I kinda miss those friendly moments in american communities over the country).

This aside, many thanks for your kind comments. Always appreciated.
I've called the last picture posted "Alley to the Castle".
Here's why, and here's what's behind the trees. Quite a visual shock when you're not prepared, like me not knowing the very town i was in just passing by looking for directions for a small village around...
(a larger image gives better credit to the huge size of the construction and the visual impact, but the file size allowed here is naturally limited)
OK - from your presentation i understood there was. So now you got me scrutinizing the picture for 5 minutes searching for the slighest indication of a temple :deadhorse:Actually, there are no temples on this stretch of Sukhumvit, and there never was.

The light was rather peculiar when I took the photo. It's taken just before sunset, but the light was very blue, and whatever colour temperature I choose, it's off in some way or another. I didn't have much time to take this, since I was entering a meeting room as the last arriving participant. However, when I saw the beautiful light outside, I walked straight over to the window, while pulling out my camera, and started to take photos, somewhat to the surprise of the other meeting participants :wtf:
Never easy to be an early player (and the more with Leica, apparently). It might be the safe route to wait a bit longer... on the other hand when paying this kind of money for a digital camera, we can easily imagine the kind of frustration generated by not being able to use itThat would be a shock!

Thanks Corlan. I have my M8 still, and am very happy with it. (Although I had problems with the first two copies I had... there can be problems when you're an early adopter. My D200 had the banding issues.)Never easy to be an early player (and the more with Leica, apparently).

Hopefully you'll get a fine working body in no time.
The Red Rock Relay sounds like quite a race :shocked:
As usual your picture communicates a strong sense of the required efforts and of the event environnement and conditions. The perspective with the distant second runner is simply great and tells the whole story.
Thanks Cindy. It was a fun, but exhausting couple of days. They finished in 26 hours and 3 minutes. I shadowed them for most of the race... even in the dark through some spectacular thunderstorms. I'm still feeling the sleep deprivation. Speaking of which, I'm off to bed. Night all. :sleep006:Lloyd, Congratulations to your wife and her team. The second picture really conveys the uphill battle. It makes me tired just looking at them speeding up that hill.
