Hey, what do you know about lens price in Bangkok? If it's much cheap than in Holland, I'm going to ask my father to bring me a Nikon 17-55 f2.8 that retails here for 1400

Technology in Thailand is equally expensive as in Benelux. I went looking for lenses with a mate in Bangkok but there wasn't a huge price difference. You'd better of buying the lens in Germany. If you live close to Aken go to http://www.ac-foto.com.

I just found a site where they offer the Nikon 17-55 for 54000 Baht or 1.221€.

Apprentely it is cheaper overthere. Wonder where the I heck I went looking for lenses when I was in Bangkok

*starts saving for D2X*

w3rd
though, you can get the VAT back at the airport so its sort of less expensive.
could get an imac for about €300 cheaper, and my brother got a guitar for about the third of the dutchee price.

... although a guitar hardly falls under the tech catagory

Here is my weak attempt at taking a pic of the moon by holding my camera up to the eyepiece of my telescope (hi-tech astrophotography there.) I'm learning real quick that I suck at photography, but I figured I'd give this a shot for the hell of it since I had the scope out to see Venus and the Moon next to each other last night.

That's actually surprisingly good consider what you are working with. I'd figure the combination of telescope, shaky hands, low light conditions would have turned out a lot worse.

You tried pulling clouds out of this?? There's just some things you shouldn't try to do. You could, however, learn to shoot when the light is just right that you can get the clouds you want along with a properly exposed landscape. You could also try using a graduated ND filter to balance everything out.

you could always draw your own clouds in if you want them that bad

haha yea thats really the photo trend now for awile imo.

loads and loads of post work.

i think its neat and theres prolly no going back

Well, I'd never actually add in coulds unless I was doing it as an exercise. That one up there took me about 30 minutes. Most of that was spent sifting through a few shots I had on flickr with luminosity that fit the landscape and enough clouds to fill the sky.

Heh, they have exactly the same prices at that site. We're kinda fucked here in Europe. I saw a few stores with cams and lenses in Austria, France and Belgium and they were all more expensive than here in Holland. And we do have ridiculous high prices compared to Japan and the States (mainly due to the Euro).

That's the reason I rarely ever comment on photos

I'm more prone to leave a quick comment at random photos I likes. Just a quick "I like it", "Nice colours!" will do.

I like it too, when people leave a little comment at my photos.

I prefer actual critique, but every "critique" group I've run into is some kind of bullshit handholdy positive comments only thing where you get banned for saying something critical.

lol.. i couldn't help it

Went out to take picture of my friend and his little daughter for a photobook.
Nothing special tho, but I have to post something from time to time.
