ND and graduated filters are part of the tools for capturing landscapes. The ND filters cut down on the light and allow for slower exposures which results in water being blurred. The graduated filters allow one to cut down on the dynamic range of a scene so that one can avoid blown highlights and deep shadows.

Part of the fun on being flickr is the friends you make and have fun with. As with this photo I took of me being ready for dinner was a result of Teresa showing her thanksgiving dinner. I was ready for it.

Merry Christmas!

I have been to Bangkok so many times I can't even remember when I took these slide photos. This is from the Grand Palace which is one of the must-see attractions in Bangkok.

This 'dance' was performed in the dark by a large number of men (30-40?) who were seated and made these hand/arm motions. They at the same time chanted 'kachak' from where the name of the dance originates.

I travelled to this magical city some 20 years ago. The photos here are scanned from slides that are a bit faded but I think the view that it provides is still a wonder to see.

The complete set is here.

Passed by a Cuppa Joe around the Kitsilano area and remembering Teresa's photo I had to try something which turned out to be a Hot Chocolate...not the mocha latte she raved about. Oh well...there's no explaining why we as photographers are always shooting these objects.
