    Jao Praya River - view from the Saphan Taksin Bridge

    From the album: Night Photography and Lights Reflecting in Water

    High rise buildings on the banks of the Jao Praya River. Two of the buildings on the river bank are the Millenium Hilton Bangkok and The Peninsula Bangkok hotels. (All very expensive properties!!) Photo taken from the Saphan Taksin Bridge. I didn't have my tripod with me but, after many attempts, I actually managed to get this shot without any camera shake. 'Pure luck in the end - but quite an achievement with all the heavy trucks thundering by and shaking the bridge every few seconds! (I had a well-earned beer or six, after taking this one!!) ???

    Bangkok night scene with high rise buildings and a ferry boat on the Jao Praya River.jpg

    From the album: Night Photography and Lights Reflecting in Water

    Photo taken from the Saphan Taksin Bridge - without the use of a tripod. I tried resting the camera on a parapet of the bridge but with a half second exposure time, I would have been better off bringing my tripod along. (Even then, with a slow old camera and heavy lorries thundering by shaking the bridge every few seconds, this one would always have been a bit of a challenge!!)

    Purple flower
    The closest flower is a bit blurred... I need to work on my focusing a bit! Never mind... Practice makes perfect, as they say!

    Close-up photo of a beautiful pink orchid flower

    From the album: Flowers and plant life

    I am not sure if this is what you would call pink - or a purplish pink? Anyway, never mind! This is one of the orchid plants that I bought in a floating market in Bangkok a couple of years ago. It lives quite happily in the driveway to an apartment that I rent. Well taken care of by the two guards, it has just burst out into bloom again for the second time since I gave it to the owner of the apartment.

    I have no idea what kind of flower this is! Just one of the many lovely flowers at the entrance to an apartment I rent in Bangkok

    บ้านส้มตำ - Barn Somdtam in Soi Sukjai, Sukhumvit 40/42, Bangkok, Thailand

    From the album: Night Photography and Lights Reflecting in Water

    Just "kicking my heels" (or sitting and swatting mosquitos, as the Thai people would have it!) So I decided to have a play with my old camera and see if I could figure out how to use the thing... บ้านส้มตำ (Barn Somdtam - or Baan Somtum, if you prefer...) in Soi Sukjai near Sukhumvit Soi 42 Phrakanong, Klongtoey, Bangkok at night http://www.baansomtum.com/

    Close-up of a beautiful pink Tropical Water Lily flower at night

    From the album: Night Photography and Lights Reflecting in Water

    Pink Tropical Water Lilies (or "Lotus," if you prefer!) These beautiful lilies grow in a ditch beside the road in Soi Sukjai, between Soi 40 and Soi 42 off the Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. Apparently, they were just thrown in there, years ago, by the owner of the house behind were they grow. Like most tropical water lilies, the flowers only open at night...

    White Shinkansen Bullet Train!
    These things move away so fast, I was just snapping continuously in the hope of getting a decent shot of the back of the train as it came into view. The train was rapidly accelerating as it pulled out of Hakata Station, on it's way to Kagoshima in the South of Kyushu Island, Japan. (I could, of course, have just used the "burst mode" on my cellphone - but this would have churned out an awful lot of photos to then have to go through and either edit or delete...)

    Welcome, to the Shinkansen!

    Images added to a gallery album owned by smb in Members Albums - Index Page

    There is a slight pause after "Welcome" - for emphasis! And "Shinkansen" is actually three seperate words: 新幹線 Shin-kan-sen or New Trunk Line. This is what people in the West refer to as the "Bullet Train" (when, in fact, "Shinkansen" refers to the rail network, not the trains that run on it).
