Had some guests in town last week so we took a trrip to do the big 3 temples over on Koh Rattanakosin.

First up is Wat Phrasrirattana Sassadaram & The Grand Palace. As I have photographed it more times than I care to remember i tried to concentrate on some different angles and people. Here's a selection of shots.

I've been bored messing around with some of these pics, a couple are heavily darkened as I was just messing with the effect. A couple I even pulled at the last minute as I realised I didn't like the effect all that much.

Thought you weren't meant to take piccies inside...or is this your superduper telephoto lens...great pic either way...

Bobcock · 10-09-2008, 07:31 PM

400mm lens, I'm about 5 metres outside the front door, no tripod.

klongmaster · 10-09-2008, 07:43 PM

well that's well done then...having been many times I've still never seen it as clearly as you've shown here...excellent stuff...

Bobcock · 11-09-2008, 12:11 AM

I would love to take pictures inside, it is a truly magnificent building. To be able to set up a tripod and go for it would be awesome.

I've seen you setup a tripod and go for it.....not pretty.

Great pictures..

SBF just saw your pic of the Emerald Buddha and thought it 'mai dee' to take so close like that and show it.... I explained to her that you were outside though...

I was down that way last Friday.... My pics aren't so good but here they are anyway...
