<div><div>If you're looking for a quick beach getaway from Bangkok, Hua Hin is a great destination to consider. It's only a 2-3 hour drive from the city and offers a mix of beach relaxation and outdoor adventures.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you're up for a challenge, you can hike up the nearby hills for some breathtaking views. And if you're a nature lover, you'll be glad to know that Hua Hin has several national parks and waterfalls waiting to be explored.</div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to visit them all during our trip, but I'm definitely adding them to my list for my next visit to this charming district.</div></div>

<br /><div>In the bustling city of Bangkok, the sights and sounds are a symphony of life, day and night. Everywhere you turn, there's something new to explore and discover. Whether it's the vibrant street markets or the towering temples, Bangkok has something to offer for everyone.</div><div><br /></div><div>But as the sun sets and the city lights up, a new kind of magic takes hold. The city comes alive with a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds that paint the night sky. From the neon-lit streets of the famous Khao San Road to the serene banks of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok by night is a photographer's dream.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, if you find yourself in the city that never sleeps, don't forget to bring your camera. You never know what kind of magic you might capture.</div>

Ancient ruins of cities and temples are everywhere.<br />
<br />
No wonder, Thailand is considered one of the favorite destination of tourists from the west.<br />
<br />
Below are some of the photos I took in Ayuthaya and Bangkok while showing my tourist friend around.<br />

<br />
After quite some time taking an off from photography, I took the Fuji for a spin around the streets of Bangkok, just to warm my fingers.<br />

However, there's another type of photography that's just as intriguing, if not more so: capturing landscapes, nature, and cityscapes. Although I don't have much experience with it yet, I want to learn more and improve. It's a completely different genre from portrait photography, and many say it's the ultimate challenge for photographers.<br />

<br />
Landscape photography is always accompanied with travelling and immersing yourself with nature and scenic views.<br />
<br />
The process itself is what makes it exciting.<br />
<br />
Looking for the right point of view, looking for the perfect composition, watching where the light falls and being observant of your surroundings are some of the components of landscape shooting.<br />
<br />
It is something one can do and get lost for a couple of hours, being not aware of the flow of time and just enjoying the present moment.<br />
<br />
It's so mesmerizing.<br />
<br />
It's something I want to do more.<br />
<br />
And hopefully, learn a thing or two about landscape photography along the way too.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13.3333px; line-height: 17.9861px; text-align: center;"><br /></span></span>Two weeks ago, I was fortunate to have the chance to visit Laos for a few days. Although I was travelling with colleagues and couldn't take as many photos as I would have liked, it was an all-expense-paid trip, so I'm not complaining! Despite the limited opportunities to shoot, I was still able to capture some of the beauty of Laos on the go. Here are a few of the photos I managed to snap during the trip.<br />

The city's architecture and infrastructure remind me of what my home country looked like 15 to 20 years ago. Vientiane is located at the side of the Mekong River, which also serves as the border with Thailand.</div><div><br /></div><div>During my trip, I had the opportunity to visit Nam Ngum Lake, which is approximately 90 kilometers from Vientiane. This scenic and vast artificial lake was created when the Ngum River was dammed for hydroelectricity. The lake boasts many small islands, making it an excellent spot for recreational activities like boating and fishing. Below are some photos I took during my visit to Nam Ngum Lake.</div></div>

<div><div>I was absolutely captivated by the natural beauty of Vang Vieng during my recent trip to Laos. I only had a limited amount of time to explore, but I was struck by the stunning scenery and felt a deep connection to the simple, laid-back lifestyle of the locals.</div><div><br /></div><div>Although I couldn't stay as long as I would have liked, I'm already dreaming of returning to Vang Vieng and experiencing even more of its charm. This trip was just a glimpse of a beautiful country that seems to be frozen in time, a refreshing change from the hectic, stressful pace of city life.</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall, my trip to Laos was a much-needed break and a reminder to slow down and appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us. Cheers to more adventures like this one!</div></div>

<br />
Lots of new stuff going on at work and what not.<br />
<br />
<i>(In fact, I think I'm just lazy to think of some new projects for now.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Fortunately, I got some small things to do at the side keeping my photographic energy alive.<br />
<br />
My wife and her friend got into a small hobby of making home-made perfumes for friends and relatives.<br />
<br />
I was assigned to take photos of the products.<br />
<br />
My task was to make a small DIY (Do-it-youself) studio at home and be a little creative in presenting the products.<br />
<br />
Not bad as a challenge.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
These home-made oil-based perfumes really smells good, last a long time and cheaper to make.<br />
<br />
Although I love to do outdoors sessions, this small project at least woke me up from my laziness.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Or did it?</b></h3>
<br />
I had a realization, a vision.<br />
<br />
Spent some of my weekends shooting outdoors.<br />
<br />
Spent nights reading about photography and lighting.<br />
<br />
I love what I'm doing. <i>(Except for sitting in front of the PC editing photos)</i><br />
<br />
But I am not a photographer.<br />
<br />
I consider photography as just one of my skills.<br />
<br />
Something that I still want to improve more.<br />
<br />
A hobby (and some small income) I am enjoying.<br />
<br />
No more, no less.<br />
<br />
I also have other dreams and goals I want to pursue.<br />
<br />
Who knows? Everything is possible in this universe of endless possibility.<i> (Say what?)</i><br />
<br />
My love for photography hasn't faded, it's just that I have other things I decided to prioritize.<br />
<br />
I will still accept and do some photography projects from time to time.<br />
<br />
Just a little bit less active.<br />
<br />
I hope that make sense.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cheers.<br />

Just like these two beautiful flowers, Angelyn and Angelica share a close sisterly bond that is filled with love, laughter, and endless support.<br />

<br />
<br />There's something truly special about the bond between sisters. They're not just family, they're friends who have been with us through every stage of life - from childhood memories to grown-up dreams. As someone with two sisters of my own, I can attest to the fact that there's no better friend than a sister.</div>

<div>
<br />
<br />This is a beautiful sentiment that we should all take to heart. Our loved ones are truly precious, and it's important to cherish every moment we have with them. Whether it's through spending quality time together, sharing a meal, or simply expressing our love and gratitude, let's make an effort to show our appreciation for those who mean the most to us. Life is short, and we never know when our time with our loved ones will come to an end. So let's make the most of every opportunity we have to create memories and strengthen our relationships. Cheers to treasuring those special people in our lives!<br />

Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful bay that's surrounded by 100-meter high cliffs on three sides. Inside the bay there are several beaches. The main one is around 200 meters long with silky soft white sand, underwater colorful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water.<br />
<br />
Maya Bay has become the main tourist attraction of Phi Phi since "The Beach" was filmed here in 1999. It was always very popular before the film but now people around the world who haven't even heard of Phi Phi have certainly heard of Maya Bay.</div>

<br />
To see photo of the first shoot, click <a href="http://shutterbugshub.blogspot.com/2014/01/portrait-7.html" target="_blank">here.</a><br />

I was not quite happy with the results back then.<br />

Fortunately, Kristine agreed to meet us again and re-shoot.<br />

<br />
I'm not sure if you can call a lens built in the 80's a classic?<br />
<br />
Retro?<br />
<br />
Vintage?<br />
<br />
It's as old as me.<br />

Companies of modern cameras and lenses are competing for the the fastest auto focus, and here I am buying an all manual lens.<br />
<br />
Call me crazy, but I am actually curious how the photographers of the past experienced photography.<br />

It made my D3100 more compact.<br />
<br />
Made with only metal and glass, it is a little heavier than my Nikkor prime lenses.<br />
<br />

<h4>
Time to test my skills in manual focusing and metering</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Focusing is quite difficult at first, especially wide open. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I practice more, I think I quite nailed it in most of my shots.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Metering is quite easy as long as you know the basics of exposure.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Sometimes we fail to notice the beauty of simple things around us.<br />
<br />
Take time to notice simple details that collectively created the beauty of the whole.<br />
<br />
This lens helps me to see beauty in details.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
And there are instances when you really need an auto focus.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below are photos taken by the Fuji X100 just this morning when I'm out and testing the Helios.</div>

Conclusion</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did not regret buying this lens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Manual focusing and metering is actually fun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It makes you slow down and think before pressing the shutter.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is pure photography, the one that photographers of the past enjoyed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today's photography is more like a trigger-happy-shutter-crazy-all-auto style.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It made our life more easier, but it ruins our experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It won't hurt to try the joy of experiencing the basic and simple things in life sometimes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know I will be using this lens more, especially on portraits.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cheers!</div>

</div>
As everyone does, I sometimes like to look back and (<strike>cringe</strike>) criticize my photos.<br />
<br />
Admittedly, I took around a hundred portraits since I started this hobby.<br />
<br />
Most of them are so so.<br />
<br />
They look like selfies with instagram filters on. Ha!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's either I am experimenting or didn't know what I'm doing.(probably both)<br />
<br />
<br />
To make me feel good somehow, posted below are my few favorites. <i>(in random order)</i><br />

<br />
Did I made any progress?<br />
<br />
I hope so.<br />
<br />
I also realized that I am still learning, and will have a lot yet to learn.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions on how I can improve my photos?<br />
<br />
Share your thoughts in the comment section.<br />

In today's technology-savvy generation, cameras are one of the most frequently used gadgets. Whether it's a family event or a vacation, cameras are always present, and even our phones have decent cameras for taking snapshots. Then, there are people like me who are absolutely crazy about photography. We're the hobbyists and enthusiasts who talk, breathe, and think about photography all the time - it's even something we dream about at night.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, why are we so passionate about photography? As an enthusiast myself, I believe that there are several reasons for this:</div>

Seeing the world in a new light</h4>

<br /></div>
<div>
Literally!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>Photography is the art of painting with light. It is one of the very first things you learn when starting photography: that everything revolves around light. Learning photography provides you with a new perspective of the world around you. You start noticing beautiful contrasts and colors that you might have otherwise missed if you hadn't taken up photography. Suddenly, the world becomes more photogenic and you wish you had your camera with you at all times.</div><div>

<div>
This is very ZEN-like but it's true.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>When out on a photo shoot, we are often so absorbed in the present moment that we forget about past or future concerns. This is especially true when shooting landscapes. We become so engrossed in the beauty and serenity of the scene that we're trying to capture that nothing else occupies our minds. The light falls perfectly, the sounds are mesmerizing, and the atmosphere is soothing. It's a meditative experience that releases stress and allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment. Photography can be a form of mindfulness that helps us focus on the present and forget about our worries and concerns.</div>

<div><div>Photography provides a great opportunity to meet and interact with various people, each with unique personalities and stories to tell. Whether you're a portrait photographer or capturing candid shots of people in their daily lives, you'll get the chance to connect with your subjects on a personal level and learn about their experiences, culture, and perspectives.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's a wonderful way to broaden your horizons, break down barriers, and gain a deeper understanding of humanity. And, the best part is that you get to capture these moments and share them with the world through your photographs.</div></div>

<div>Through the lens of a camera, even the mundane can become a masterpiece. Suddenly, everything is a potential subject waiting to be captured. The flower in your backyard becomes a stunning work of art, and the bees and butterflies flitting around it are like dancers in a grand performance.</div><div><br /></div><div>You begin to see beauty in patterns and textures that you've never noticed before, like the worn stones of an old building or the winding path of a staircase. Reflections and light take on a whole new meaning, casting shadows and creating depth that you never realized existed.</div><div><br /></div><div>And people, oh the people you will meet. Each one unique with their own story to tell, their personalities shining through in every shot you take. A smile becomes a thing of beauty, and each expression tells a different tale.

<div><div>Photography has a way of making every place, every destination, worth a visit. It's not just about checking in or updating your status on social media to make your friends envious (although that's a plus!). When you start seeing the world through the lens, you'll appreciate the beauty in even the most mundane things. You'll find yourself drawn to natural landscapes and the perfect lighting that captures the essence of a place.</div><div><br /></div><div>No destination will be boring anymore. Everywhere you go, you'll find something to photograph, something to capture and preserve for eternity.

It's a time for self-reflection, introspection, and creativity.</div><div><br /></div><div>Photography can be a meditative practice, and shooting alone allows me to fully immerse myself in the moment without any distractions. It's a time to explore and capture the world in my own unique way, without any outside influences or distractions.</div><div><br /></div><div>Whether I'm on a mountaintop or by the sea, shooting alone is one of the best activities for me.</div>

<br /><div>Let me confess something to you, folks. I'm not a gear-head, but most photographers are. They're obsessed with gadgets, gizmos, and all things that go click in the night.</div><div><br /></div><div>We're always drooling over the latest and greatest cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment. We're like kids in a candy store, except the candy costs thousands of dollars.</div><div><br /></div><div>But let's be real here. Having a fancy camera doesn't make you a good photographer. It's like buying a Lamborghini and then driving it like a grandma. What's the point?</div><div><br /></div><div>Sure, having top-of-the-line gear is nice, but it's not everything. The most important thing is to have a creative eye and a passion for capturing moments.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, let's not get too caught up in the gear race. Let's focus on what really matters - taking great photos and having fun doing it, even if it means using a rusty old camera from the 80s.</div>

It is located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 100 kilometres (62 miles) southeast of Bangkok.<br />
<div>

<div>
Hangin on the shore of Pattaya, one can see a lot of tourist and water sport enthusiast. It is indeed a busy tourist attraction. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After the trip to Koh Larn, we had a short opportunity to relax and take some photos at the shore of Pattaya.</div>

Still armed with a single speedlight and my x100, I wanted to create a different mood for my next portrait.</div>

With this I can conclude that I will be alright travelling with a light kit, my X100 and a single speedlight. </div>

<br />
It is a beautiful island 30 minutes off the coast of Pattaya. Read more about the island <a href="http://kohlarn.com/">here.</a><br />
<br />
I was able to made a quick portrait of our friend Glace using my X100 and a single speedlight.<br />

Situations like this calls for a quick and simple set up.<br />

<br />
<br />
For this shot, I set my X100 to A priority and use a handheld speedlight as a fill flash.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A very fast and suitable set up when travelling and planning to take some portraits.<br />
<br />
No need to carry the heavy stuff.<br />
<br />
A good way to enjoy photography while travelling.<br />

I arrived at the park a little bit more than 6 PM.<br />

We are supposed to shoot retro style portraits, but with fading light, it's impossible.<br />

<br />
Not close to what we really wanted, but circumstances led us to this.<br />
<br />
My subject seems satisfied, I'm not.<br />
<br />
<br />
We agreed to shoot sometime in the future again.<br />
<br />
Instances like these always reminds me to always be ready of different kinds of lighting needs.<br />
<br />
<br />
But it's all part of the joy and excitement of doing photography.<br />
