Sawadee Khrap or for Shan “Mai Song Kak”
Today was the last day of the 3 day Shan festival “Poi Sang Long” at Wat Ku Tao. This festival is for the young boys to enter the Monkhood – boys 7-14 ,dressed in their finest attire, are carried 3 times around the temple and take the robes of novice monks. I made a
of most of the images taken.
I had to use my old camera because the new 7D’s shutter stuck and now I have to send into Canon for repair. Needless to say I am very disappointed – I hope the Service department can make me feel better with a quick repair. The new lens on the old 350D camera really helps and the photos are very clear – I’ll let you know what happens as I’ll probably rant and rave if the new one doesn’t get fixed soon – I paid a lot of money and don’t expect a “Professional” camera to go tits up after 300 photos – they advertise a 150,000 shutter life – We’ll see.
Ciao
