A Visit to Jatujak Market

Bloody brilliant Photos BC, its 8 years since I have been there, since the skytrain came about the patronage has escalated exponentially and I do dislike crowds.

Love the geriatric punk rocker 2nd from bottom.

They were not gold plated and it was not a Nik Color Effect, though they look a bit whiter before the post production, don't think I did anything out of the ordinary, just sharped and some level adjustment.

Yes, I wanted the punk as a portrait, but he was talking and I was in a hurry as I had to get junior home, I won't portrait someone without asking first. But I was very excited when I saw the skulls, with a wide angle lens people don't know they are in the shot.

Awesome pics. New camera seems to be doing its job quite well.

There's a branch of Chatuchak (or Jatujak) at Bangsaen. Took a while to take off but it's not too bad now. Still not a patch on the original though. I think the original Chatuchak is still the largest flea market in the world.

If I'm mistaken the original site of the Chatuchak was in park plaza area just outside the Grand Palace. But this was years ago... so the wife tells me.

Professionaly taken pics Khun Bob. Good job.

Yes, the original flea market was at Sanam Luang, but because it was required for other things it moved around (including another stint at Sanam luang) until being moved to jatujak in 1982.

nice stuff, is this new batch w/ the 5d?

I really like the shot w/ the mohawk guy & crocs!

[Bobcock]

yes, with the 5D, been having lots of fun with it, 1200 photos in Hong Kong, a good batch in Chinatown last weekend. Fun to go back to the same places with a new camera. And now I have to do them all again with the eos5....5555.

I'm in Phuket this weekend for a wedding, could be fun as well, brought both cameras down. Mkes my carry on bloody heavy with all the lenses.
