Sukhumvit impressions

Picking up from my previous blog entry, another evening panorama overlooking Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok.   This time I elected a different approach with a more impressionistic, multi-layered presentation.    A similar effect to what might be achieved with a traditional in-camera multiple exposure but in this instance done via Photoshop.

A slow shutter speed captures the blur of movement during Bangkok’s rush hour

Grand Palace, Bangkok

A combination of slow shutter speeds and compositing results in an impressionist image where people are but a fleeting presence.

Light trails, Bangkok.

The image isn’t critically sharp, it was never going to be. However, it’s far better than most people would believe possible and I think better than what would have occurred on a tripod shaking on the overpass!

Seasons fashions for headless models

Bangkok’s Chatuchak Market provides amazing shopping and bargain-hunting possibilities. During my visit, I discovered headless models, and …
