Checking Out The Competition

Checking Out The Competition
I have not managed to find a guestblogger for this week. If you are interested to be a guestblogger (or would like to nominate someone), send me a contact!

For the meantime, it’s back to the dragonboat competition shoot that I did a couple of months ago. I wonder what the drummer was thinking as he peered across at the other rival boats. The rest of team seemed to be all set to go though, judging from the way their oars are placed at ready. I love the reflections in the dark green water, which provided a nice backdrop to the shot.

More pictures from my Bangkok trip…

The above was taken at the Hollywood Action show at the Dreamworld theme park. The show itself was pretty boring (partially because everything was in Thai — dialogue, commentary and all!) so I busied myself taking pictures of the display of action and pyrotechnics. Dearest CY came up with the interesting title for this one 🙂 … which leads to several questions: 1) Is the show bad?, 2) Is this what the guy in the SWAT uniform is thinking?, 3) Is the door bad?, or 4) Is this picture badly taken? (I hope not! :P)

Ushering In The Compliments

Ushering In The Compliments
I took a short holiday trip to Bangkok, Thailand last weekend. On this visit, we made a trip to the Dreamworld theme park just 10 minutes away from Don Muang International Airport. The park was really crowded during our visit since it was the Thai monarch’s birthday, which made photography challenging. While waiting for our transport at the end of the day, I caught a glimpse of this park-usher taking a look at the compliments that were left behind by visitors. The brilliant lighting and strong colours attracted me to take this picture.
