Phuket Surf Competition

Back to the Kalim surfing competition which happened a few weeks ago.  This is another attempt to get-to-grips with Dynamic Photo HDR software, which I've been having varying success with.

Unfinished Statue

Another shot from the Mingmongkol Buddha construction site.  This statue is integrated into the back of the main buddha image and, like yesterdays shot , I'm guessing this statue represents one of the buddha's students.   I should think this buddha will end-up gold plated and looking more like this one when complete.

I know my last entry was from the surfing competition and I said something like "more to follow"...  but I haven't had a chance to play around with Dynamic-Photo HDR to, 1) increase the image sizes (currently I can't create and HDR 's at a reasonable resolution) and 2) work-out why I'm getting so much grain in my results.  I've got as far as determining that these are common problems and there are...

Into the storm

04:57PM Jul 18, 2008

Phuket's biggest surfing competition is on over the weekend; the Kalim Surfing Contest 2008 . Today I managed to get a couple of hours watching the contest from the beach.  My lens wasn't suffice to capture any wave-riding action, but I managed to snap away a few beach shots before a monsoon rainstorm hit.  Here's a competitor heading into the storm for his session. UPDATE: I wasn't happy with the original HDR...

Bang Tao Fishing Village, Phuket in HDR

11:13AM Apr 26, 2008

It was inevitable; everyone's doing it and I was going to do it too sooner or later.  HDR that is.  I woke surprisingly early and decided today was the day.  Tripod in hand I headed to my nearest beach, Bang Tao, and set about looking for a suitable scene to capture in HDR.  I had a basic understanding of what was needed; multiple exposures bracketed of the same scene.  I went about snapping away for an hour...

On your marks. Get set. Go.

I'm sure there are many great titles which could be applied to this photo, and this certainly isn't the greatest.  If anyone has a better suggestion, please comment. It was taken earlier this year on Koh Yao Noi ; a 30 min boat journey from Phuket.  Some friends and I were exploring the island on motorbikes for half a day when we came to this beach.  I didn't even notice the sunbather at first, but having just gone...

Seems like you're getting the hang of HDR to me! The color of the water against the grey sky makes this a great shot!

Maybe we should look more to the eyes/expressions of animals!! I've experienced the same last weekend. Eyes do speak on pictures.
