| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #1 April 23rd 2006 01:24:30 | You captured the look of canal side well. (I've traveled that canal several times but never paid attention to its name.) Lots of places along there are pretty jumbled up aren't they? The sky is over exposed. This would have been a good time to have been bracketing. I think a less exposed frame would have served you better. I tried pulling a little more detail out of the brightest portions. Not sure that I did that much. |

It was the first time I'd traveled it and it's a fantastic, easy way to get across town. This is a color shot that I turned b&w. The sky is over exposed, but it was also very grey and overcast that day. Not sure what to do in that scenerio. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #3 April 23rd 2006 14:40:30 | If you had underexposed the shot (turn down the EV and bracket in tough lighting situations) you stand a good chance of being able to pull detail from the shadow areas. There's no chance of getting detail from a blown out part of a frame. When I'm out in daylight conditions I generally set my camera to -0.3 EV and auto bracket at 0.3. That gives me shots at 0.0, -0.3, and -0.6. I often find the -0.3 and -0.6 more usable than what the camera would have taken had I not underexposed and bracketed. Suggest you go out on a bright day and shoot some bright sky/deep shadows and find the best settings for your camera. -- I always stay in the Siam Square area when I'm in BKK and the canal boat is just a couple blocks away from my guest house. Great way to go to the temple area. And only 8 (5?) baht. Have you ridden it further east than Siam Square? If so, what's that like? How far does it go? -- Your picture. I tried cropping out the over exposed sky but didn't find a pleasing place. You might replace the white area with a reasonable shade of grey. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Kristina Johnson (wired2theworld) Msg: #4 April 23rd 2006 15:03:55 | I meant to try the bracketing on this trip, but didn't. If you want to see the color version, it's on my website as well. I may try your suggestion of more grey in the sky. As for the canal, we took it from Asoke (Sukhumvit soi 21-didn't go any further east than that), all the way over to the Wat Saket stop and back-it's about 18 baht for the whole trip, including switching boats midway. Next time, I want to go down some of the smaller canals in Thonburi. | |||||||||||||||||||||
