Spent almost 3.5 hours yesterday getting my Visa renewed – 20 min for the actual renewal, but 3 hrs. waiting in line – I got there late and was number 12 in line. Oh well, only once a year.
On my way down to the Immigration Center I took the Super Highway and it was starting to flood about Chiang Mai Land area. I made it through but I would imagine that within a couple of hours it was totally blocked and flooded. I planned on going out later in the day and take some photos but was just too tired and stayed home watching TV – thankfully, Peter and his team got some shots of the flooding and a nice review. Check it out

Haven’t got a hell of a lot to write about but this web site is a must to check out 
The aperture is set to 5.6 and shutter is 
adjusted in the 3 exposures. Almost point and shoot. I chose some very high contrast scenes and used the HDR Pro in CS5 to process. Check out the detail in the shadows while still maintaining the detail in the clouds – amazing. 
These are all hand held shots too. In fact I did over push the color of the sky – could be a little less intense blue, but that can be adjusted – now I want to try Photomatix Pro to see if it will give better results.
I can’t wait to go get some new shots of the landscape images I did in the past.
Here are some Photoshop examples I did from the Model shoot at CMCC.
Ciao
couple of the finished photos.
Just passing through the Kad Suan Kaew Central Shopping Center and caught the last part of the “Miss Healthy Thailand 2011†Ladyboy Beauty Contest. I did manage to get shots of all for the 32 “girls†in the lineup, but could not stay to see the final voting results. I’ll post who the winners were later. This event is sponsored by M+ and is one of the many lead-ups to the Pattaya Miss Tiffany Title. It’s hard to believe that there aren’t any ‘girl-girls’ in the lineup – nor backstage for that matter.
