An Invisible wave

Last week on May,16th Thousand of Bangkok Bloggers fled swaying high-rise office buildings, included me. An earthquake of magnitude 6.1 in Laos that cause the shaking. Well I felt happy and scared in the same time, because I've got good news about my visa to Australia while the whole building was shaking, confused, what should I feel?

Anyway last Friday I went to Rape Da Nu Rave Party at Cafe' De Moc, it was fun seeing old friends. Take care, see you next time.

A Quiet Storm

Yep it's raining, a very very quiet day at work - my co-worker in graphic design department "Golfy" came back from Koh Lanta, where our company's resort is. He has been working over there more than 4 months and now back to work in Bangkok office 'cos low season. didn't mention that a friend of mine-a programmer just quit last week also - well, pretty good huh?

I'm going to Australia in June, preparing documents apply for visa is a pain in the arse sometimes. Well it's still raining, a pretty quiet storm - hope that i don't have to swim to get my lunch. Ok i think i can handle it, take care - see you again tomorrow! bye

Like a Raining Stars

When photographing stars, you can either get a star "field," a static snapshot of the stars as points of light, or star "trails," where the stars' movements streak across the sky. How long you expose the image determines which you get.

The first rule of thumb to remember is that the Earth rotates such that the light from a star begins to "move" after about 30-40 seconds. (It's apparent movement is largely dependent on your lens—the longer the focal length, the more apparent the movement; the wider angle lenses won't show much movement till later because of the star point is so small.)

Part of your experimentation will be to gauge the timing for how much "trail" you want.

Hey it been a very very busy month lately, week after week just relaxed in my new apartment and watch cable TV, drunk lot of beers and Sake with my wife after weeks of hard day at work.

It been raining everyday since 1st of May, well it cool Bangkok down a bit and make it more fun to go to work when it rain in the morning on Monday first day of the week. somehow it helps us (Bangkokian) to stop using air conditioner, at lease for a while. ummm before i see you again, take care.
