Maldives? Beautiful . . . when did you take this shot? Must have been shortly after take-off or on approach to landing.

Looked familiar, I recently had the pleasure of visiting after a some work in Sri Lanka . . . beautiful place.

At the local Guardian . . . what seems like your typical washing-mitt has an unusual long brown streak on it . . . which may make the customer chose a different one, quite an unfortunate natural colouring:

It's very bright, if you overexpose the shot is ruined, if you under expose it can be tweaked with software.

i,m not scared!!!

Nedwalk looks a lot nicer bloke than Nawty does, no wonder he doesn't appear in shot.

As for the shirt, that's rather sober for Nawty as well.

I think Nawty was fast asleep on the bar.

Both nice blokes actually but I think Ned likes beer more than Nawty.

So, you mean kindling.

Lunch this past Tuesday in Ebisu, Tokyo. About 270 baht.

Not being picky Robuzo but how much does a meal like that cost in Japan these days?

My kids love Japanese food and eat it regularly and I have a pretty good idea what a meal like that would cost in Thailand.

Looks delicious mate and great value and thanks for posting the pics.

Moving materials on the job site

Not really. Twiddling with brightness is not the same as deleting or adding to the content.

If you send a film for developement and prints the lab did the same. Tweaking the print for good looks with slightly off exposure is standard in digital or analog. Photographes with their own lab did the same only more to their own taste or intent than the automatic standardization by labs.

PS is just like the old days of dodging and burning. I have even taken things out. I had a great picture of an old building in New Orleans. The only problem was a satellite dish on the roof. 15 minutes later it was gone.

My cameras do well enough that I don't have under expose. This isn't from this week, but I have no car today, so here is a picture from my last time in bkk. it was slide film.

Reminds me of something.

My Filipino Brother in Law is a great artist. He had a beautiful pencil painting of the fishermens huts at a beach nearby. Including of course the TV-antennae.

I asked him if he could do the same painting again for me but omit the TV-antennae. He did it but without the slightes bit of understanding why.
