Although Laos is a secluded communist country, monks still are common

to be seen everywhere in the capital, Vientiane. Here, a bunch of

monks is sitting inside a Tuk-Tuk, the tricycle taxis you find

everywhere in Laos and Thailand.

Not bad, but you have to trimm the horizon correctly. This way it's neither a horizontal line nor that much out of balance, that it's part of a compositino.

You seem to be interested in the sky. I suggest, you get a (circular) polarizer filter and experiment with it. (Hint: With a b/w film you can accentuate the clouds!)

Please feel free to comment on it.

Especially comment on the photo's composition. Somehow, it seems to be

out of balance, but I cannot discover the reason for it.

Hi everybody,

it's not the most avantgarde shot, but tell me about your opinion

about this shot's mood.

This Thai policeman is walking at a train station in north-western

Bangkok. I took this picture from the train window while I was returning

from a weekend trip to the south of Thailand.

Sadly, you do not remark at this size the wonderful grainyness of the

film. I was really surprised, as Fuji promised "fine grain" on the

package. But the grainy film fits perfectly into the sense of decay you

encounter on the railtrack going to or leaving from Hualamphong,

Bangkok's Central Trainstation.

Hi,

this picture was taken from a (slowly) driving train. Please feel free to

comment on it.

Really great colors and composition! No need to show more -- everything is said with this picture.

Makes me really thirsty for a good cup of coffee.

The Hopewell Project is an abandoned public transport project in

Thailand. During the Asia Crises from 1997 onwards, its investors lost

their money.

I think the sepia tone of the camera adds very nicely to the atmosphere

of decay.

What do you think?

This is one shot from a collection of pictures with withered advertisments

for cola. They were all applied in the 1950' or 1960's to the walls of the

town Bamberg in southern germany. I like the decay that is illustrated in

them. Please feel free to give any comment about this picture.

A perfect picture to accompaign Edmund Burkes "Inquiry into the origins of our ideas of the sublime and the beautiful" or Immanuel Kant's "Kritik der Urteilskraft" (Critique of judgement).

The powerlines actually are OK in this picture.

Catches the mood right well. I like the moving blur. Adds very nicely to the atmosphere.

The blue spot on the left side adds a lot to the composition. Intended?

I used an ISO 800 film (I think it was a Fuji, but I'm not sure) and

exposed it as ISO 3200 and afterwards push-developed. No flash light

was used. I like the aesthetics of extremly grainy pictures you get from

such extreme push developing.
