On top of the world in Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand is famous for its ubiquitous food stalls. Thai food is world famous and the immense diversity of places to eat in Bangkok is ridiculous. You can spend $1 or $30, but the only real difference is usually the venue in which you choose to eat. The food is always good.

Here is a shot of the rooftop restaurant and bar called Sirocco. It's open air and perched on the 63rd Floor of a the State Tower building. This would be one of the more pricey options...

The shot is actually two shots merged to achieve the panoramic format.

Exposure: unrecorded. If memory serves, it was a 20mm lens, F11, ISO100 and maybe 5-10 second shutter.

DAM!-cool buildings in Denver-part two

The Denver Art Museum...I could photograph this building all day. There are so many angles and different lighting possibilities and I didn't even go inside yet.

There's no message in the above shot, I just thought the red looked cool against the blue sky.

There was a little problem with this shot though. The stop sign was in shadow while the building was bathed in beautiful afternoon light. Nothing that a little pop-up flash and careful exposure control couldn't solve. more below.

DAM!-cool buildings in Denver

I've been back in Denver for about a month now. I grew up here and left as soon as I figured out how. Denver is a great city and a beautiful place and it's also where my family lives. I visit once a year or so but typically only stay for a week or less.

This time, I'm in town for a month and have taken the time to check out the city again and actually get out and shoot it. It's been well over ten years since I just wandered around downtown with a camera.

Beach Cottage and Small Flash

There are some really interesting little hotels in Indonesia. I was staying in this cool little A-frame cottage just a few steps away from turquoise waters of the Gili Islands. It was a great little room with a beautiful outdoor bathroom (Bali style).
