Excellent shot! Made me smile. Nice tones.

Thanks Lloyd! A couple more from my rainy walk. I really have to try and get off the property and out amongst some people! Leaves and flowers are starting to get to me.

The last rose, with the 105 at f2.5. Leaves are at maybe 5.6.

Those are beauties, Tim. I'm not sure I be able to hold still enough to get all that rose in focus wide open. I'm going to have to get mine out and fired up. I loaned it to my uncle in Virginia... just hope it comes home free of fungus. He was a Leica shooter for years, and offered to loan me some of his old, longer glass. I was shocked when it arrived, the elements were almost covered with fungus... all three lenses were beyond recovery. What a waste.

That is a shame. I wonder how many fantastic lenses are being wasted, forgotten or ignored in a box in the attic. It does seem like a waste.

Yesterday was the day for the annual Buffalo Races in Chonburi. It's a great event with lots of things going on. Not all the jockeys made it to the finish though...

Great moment.... perfectly timed. Looks like fun event to watch.

Action packed shot!
Though for some reason i'd rather try Clay's ride above

Both quite nice captures... for different reasons


(PS too bad we've to live in a watermark world...)

 

[Jorgen Udvang]

Another water buffalo, this one with the jockey in the correct position. Sorry about the watermark on the previous one. Paranoia strikes again It doesn't matter, does it? Photos get stolen anyway...

S5 with 80-200 AF-S @ 200mm and f/2.8

 

[Corlan F.]

This one's even more intense... contestant here is definitely focused (on his goal)!


(look at the good side of things: you want one of your pictures stolen on a, say, MS worlwide tv campaign... now you can afford that cosy balinese island )

Did I mention the Pretty Girls? No event in Thailand without pretty girls, muddy men and pretty girls... what would life be without them anyway Buffaloes on the other hand...

[Lloyd]

Great series, Jorgen. Too much fun over there, it seems.

The raging bulls are wonderful Jorgen and so is the portrait of this little boy!

 

[Cindy Flood]

Jorgen, The portrait of the little boy is one of your best (IMHO).
