well composition wise, not bad but still can improve.. i saw a lot of repeated subjects throughout the temples, so why not try various angles to make it look like some kind of abstract patterns instead of normal eye-level shots?

in this kind of place, it's good to look for patterns to make the subject more interesting...

I am really slow... Just look at your PC Fair show gals pictures... Good works over there for the coverage!

If budget is not an issue, I would suggest a 1D Mark III + EF35 f1.4 USM L. I think you should only need ISO200 or ISO400. The lense is sharp even at wide open. Beside, you can even blur the background a bit, which make the subject stand out. Other focal length might be just too long for such shows.

Again, good work! Keep it on...

As I suggested before, 1D Mark III with EF35 f1.4. Once you pump the ISO to 800 with AV on f1.4, you should get sharp pictures while others fail.

...
is there is any other suggestion?

TheVoIP is the ever-so-great Canon marketeer. No need 1D Mk III lar, just 30D with that lens will be able to do the same.

Since travis_ckf is in the dark side, TheVoIP wanna poison him to jump.

No... It has to be at least 1D series with EF35 f1.4 USM L
IMO, the effective focal length is just nice!

Hehehehe....

Lol, someone wanted me to go Evil instead of the dark side. Unless the sky drops a EOS-1D Mark III with EF35 f1.4, then i will jump to the Evil side

Thanks for ur comments thought, thevoid

eh ur comment is the exactly same with the one above in post 141.

A little comment on chao phaya, its is a boat ride for almost 1 hours across tyhe chao phaya river. Wood houses and a num of temples were located in both side of the river. The river was choppy when my photography took place so some pics looked shakey. Perhaps a VR lens might help.

Do you use flash for the night shot?

i see the river no.6 & 8 like underexposed or is it meant to be like that...

Haven't got time to slowly wait for all pictures to load but I like some of your composition, for example this.

It's ok... I also dun have lenglui's in my thread. It's ok...

Haha thanks for ur comments. I have better examples of composition on the Vol 4: Scenes from Bangkok and Vol 1: Chatuchak Market instead.

Well my main topic for these Bangkok pics is giving a imagery of how is life in Bangkok. That is why i try my best to put priority on composition to get the best result of it. Anyway i enjoy taking scenery/urban life pictures.

Taking lenglui is just to gain attention from other ppl somehow, haha!

ur night shots are good, well exposed, and nice compo..

UPDATE: Since its a week before the Super GT roadshow in BTS, time for me to fill up my photothread.
