Got to say that is a part of living in Pattaya that I don't miss here in the UK as, although we have flooding, I have never been affected by it.

Thai Spice Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Not me but my 19y old daugther, on weekend in Chaam... Nice view for breakfast.... And nice breakfast as well, BTW...

Yeah, you're right.....view on the rice field or jungle is way better ! 😁😁😁 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper63 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 a neighbor down the road decorates for the upcoming Halloween festivities. Here he gets a visit by a group of wild turkeys. They are great fun to watch but as far as eating goes.... the domestic ones you buy from the markets taste a hell of alot better than the wild ones. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessongs Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 @thumper63 Terry, just showed the wife your pics up there, she wants to know when you are going to invite us to come there? LOL! She loves things like this, the scenery obviously we do not get like that in Bangkok. Any of you guys ever do Black/White photos for a change? I don't either but....wifey and her Thai friend she has here went out last Sat evening for dinner and to the local theater here to see a play. Her friend showed me pics of her in black/white that her boyfriend took of her. Wow..not bad. So I took this one of the wife right before she left. I guess there is still a market for these types of photos without color. @john luke JL, what do you think, since you take a lot of pics, any interest in Black/White pics that you get excited about? Maybe ones of portraits like this are good, but the ones Terry took I think absolutely need color. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I have used it is on night shots where a lot of the scene has been lit with red lights. When one tries to adjust the colour balance it tens to send any faces and other white or light coloured objects it pushes them towards green and cyan. i do like the everything black and white plus one outstanding feature/person in colour.

thumper63 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I wish I knew how to turn my pics from my phone from color to BW. Will have to play around to see if I can find the way. Here is a pic of the Durango & Silverton narrow guage railroad that looks antique in BW and modern in color 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an android, you should open the photo from Gallery. once the photo is open you will notice a tiny pencil at the bottom of the screen. tap the pencil, this will open the photo editor. 4 or 5 new small icons will appear at the bottom, tap the one that looks like a sun. Above the sun some new icons will appear, tap the one called "saturation" and slide the orange dot on the bar just above to the far left and your image should turn black and white. Once done, tap "save" at the top of the screen. Alternatively you can transfer the photos to your computer and desaturate them in phooshop or something similar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
