Looking at this picture I can hear Beethoven's pastoral symphony No. 6
In reality it was only the cows passing gas in harmony!

Same with bamboo on Samui , Fiddles!
very slow~ ! A bit like me these days! By the way Assurancetourix arrived safely on Samui this morning, looking forwards to giving him and his family a grand tour, over the next few days ..
SJ, sorry to break it to you but you can't grow bamboo by sticking bamboo sticks in the ground.
Hope you and Assurancetourix (have to be careful not to abbreviate that name!) have a great time on Samui and take many memorable photos!

Most of the Thais that are fleeing Nepal were there trying to get jobs as sherpas but were experiencing difficulty getting hired. Many found that their motorcycles were getting stuck in the glacial snow especially when they tried to carry 4 additional climbers on the back of the motorcycle.

I have been using this wonderful app for a while now to look at a site I want to photograph and preview where (what direction) the sun will rise and set at that location. Yes, I know, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west! BUT, I can't always figure out what the east/west orientation is for a given location. So, I simply locate the location on the map and then I can see a visual representation of where the sun will rise and set. Helps a lot with the planning process for sure. I also use it to store locations that I want to visit for photo opportunities.
Anyway, anyone else using this app? Would like to here your comments and whether you think it is OK, poor or the greatest thing since perforated toilet paper.
Another point is that there are a host of very good tutorial videos available for this app to make the learning curve less painful.

A slightly different look at 'trees'! I saw this discoloration on the trunk of this tree as it was growing next to a pond that apparently had some chemicals that were splashing on it. Anyway, this is the actual color.

Finally bit the bullet and purchased the X-Rite i1 Display Pro off of eBay. Price was about 15% lower than B&H Photo and the best part was that shipping from UK was FREE and when I received it from the post today, there was no duty! This is a new unit in the original package.
I have been using my MacBook Pro for processing my images and was always a wee bit concerned that the color calibration on my display was a bit off. I used the manual calibration to try setting up the color the best I could but after running the calibration through the i1 Display Pro I am seeing that the manual calibration was definitely cooler than the Display Pro calibration. I actually like the warmer tones I am getting now.
Anyway, thought I would pass this along.

I thought that a thread would be open to submit photos to for that purpose. Guess I am not real clear on the process.

And the age old question - why was no attempt made to enforce these laws before this?
They have been waiting to get their submarines first.

Looks very user friendly with intuitive interfaces. Also looks pizza friendly, rum friendly, etc. How long does it take to recharge the atomic battery?
Only one problem, MJP will now want to upgrade.

And here is how they plan to do it!
BANGKOK — The Royal Thai Navy has formally submitted a request to the government to buy submarines for its submarine division, which has lacked a single vessel for the last 64 years.-

Sip satang regarding Shashinki....they are expensive and...not everything they list is in stock.
That said they do have in stock many things. Better to go there and buy if you can, than to
ship to LOS for reasons previously stated.
I agree. I looked at the Shashinki site with the link provided, and the shipping more than doubles the cost delivered to Thailand. It still may be cheaper than what is available here, but I have my doubts. I'll do some looking. In the mean time, I went to Home Pro and after 30 minutes of trying to explain what I wanted with only "mai khao jai", a Thai woman came and helped me who understood at least "dehumidifier" and was able to direct me to the dehumidifier kits, which were both the disposable and refillable types. I chose the disposable kit for the first go. I have a sturdy plastic box with a lockable lid, so I put all of my equipment -- 4 camera bodies, 6 lenses and my Nikon 1 and a point-and-shoot Sony -- in the box with the dehumidifier kit and locked it tight. The woman thought that in a small confined enclosure, the dehumidifier would last about 6 months. If it works, it will be a good and economical solution.
Still waiting for my lens.....

And yet the Thais were successful in setting a new record for road fatalities! Fewer drivers but higher death rate. Gotta love this place.

I downloaded yesterday and then tried using it today. I uploaded 16 images then went into develop to look at the histogram for the images. I noticed that the import was still converting the imported images to .dng (which i do with all my images). When it was about to finish the .dng conversion, the program ended abnormally. Went back into the program and went to view an image in develop and it died again.
So, back to LR5 until this new hog is ready for prime time.

Sometimes I do have a laugh with some of the Nation's articles.
What has to do the Thais income with elections this year?
I do understand that they are in trouble as they have no sense of financial responsibilities and they borrow money as there is no tomorrow,
but elections or not elections will not help them.
Some education could help them, but this is also too late.
The author was probably alluding to the fact that if there was to be an election that many Thai could earn extra income by selling their votes (over and over again).

I do not petition the Buddha for lottery wins.
I would venture to say you are now as Buddhist as any Thai.

I agree with FR. I bought my dry box in CR from AV and it was cheaper than the comparable size that I see on the Shashinki link you posted.
