And if you wish you had a Harley but don't, you can just put a bunch of Harley stickers on your Honda

nice work, very original!A recent shot. Winter is coming fast now, creates some intriguing abstractions in ice.

I have to start using my long lenses, haven't touched anything above 35mm for a very long while, fun images.Then there was the Bang Saen Bike Week. No need for a Harley to participate

Thanks David. I think the best focal length depends on how we "see". I tend to look for motives in a 135-200mm range, so those are the focal lengths I'm using the most. Unless I'm shooting architecture, I'm usually completely happy with an 85mm on DX or 135mm on 35mm, and can live with a single focal length like that for weeks.Great work Jorgen, as usual......, love the rocket man.:thumbs:
Maybe, I seem to find the 28mm-40mm range natural for me, probably because of my subject matter or preference to shoot up close.Thanks David. I think the best focal length depends on how we "see".

I'm zoom challenged, I often get the framing wrong or lose the moment while zooming.I love my new Tamron 17-50 too though, and that was the lens I used for 95% of the time on a recent visit to Macau and Hong Kong.
I agree, and I mostly find myself using zooms at one of the extremes. I've sometimes even walked closer to make the crop fit the widest end of the lens without thinking about it. My brain is probably not made for multitasking. Maybe I should have the firmware updatedI'm zoom challenged, I often get the framing wrong or lose the moment while zooming.
Murphy seems to be in a good mood. At least I can see itI thought I would add a Bangkok image just to supplement the more active ones from Jorgen. This is the first upload I have attempted so it will probably go off the rails somewhere - good old Murphy will strike.
Last time I checked, many years ago, Silpakorn university, just across the road, trained student in this painting style. Some of them worked more or less permanently restoring the old painting and painting new ones when restoring wasn't possible. I had (and probably still have, in Norway) an original painted by one of them.Yes, Murphy was looking the other way.
They are - as you guessed - scenes from the Ramakien, at the Grand Palace. The really grab my attention - I spent a substantial amount of time there last weekend. So I now have a couple of hundred images. I was there earlier this year and plan on a return visit - these paintings appeal to me. It looks as though there is a continuing restoration program - there always is an artist or two updating them.
I am in Bangkok for another two weeks, then returning in January for at least six months. Enjoying it.
