A man's story

Well currently we have enough blood in the blood bank already. if u tend to donate blood i suggest to wait another 10 more days as the blood has life of 21 days. it would be no use if many of the blood donated and expire at the same time.

currently sanatary napkins are really needed for those women and also can use as good bandage..

also plastic body bangs are needed as the cloth that wraps the corpse. Sugguest that you donate the money to the reciving points like redcross, narenthorn, or watchira they will know what kind of items is best for the situation.

on the news today they say that food and clothing is still needed but it would be better for them to arrange them because many items sent are expires already. and many item we think it's useful might not able to use at all. like me was going to buy alcohol and paracetimal but end up not using them ... lucky i got a phone call before i paid them at the counter .... let the expert medics and ppl in the area judge what is best for the situation ..


thanx ....

today just read web board from 2how.com link

learnt that when u taking pictures with babies up to few years old child (not really sure up to what age have to do more research on it) as it could damage the eyes .. and bounce flash is not exception either.

well agree flash is design to give light power approximatly to the morning sun. i never thought about taking pictures children with flash .. and i did quite number of occations alredy..

to solve the problem:
1) bring the kids outside where there is enough sun light.
2) if using digital camera try to use higer iso (400/800/1600/3200). dont have to worry about noise in the pictures. i think the eyes are more important than the picturs.
3) use lager apperture .. (F-stop) Av mode find smallest number eg. 2.8 or 4.0
4) film camera can use higher iso film .. 400 and push film technique ..
use any one or many of the combinations could save the eyes of the kids ..

why push film/ increase ISO?
because it is very hard to hold a camera still below speed of 1/60 sec. or TV 60. as the light is very low that's the reason we use flash. offcourse there are other reasons to use flash ..but i wont talk about it here.

if u have a tripod than it's cool. just mount the camera to the tripod and shoot. but some time if the child is move and the iso is below 1/30sec or below 1/15 sec u will see a blur figure of the child that's why u need higher iso to help.

Umm just realized that my cousin sandy or keaw's birthday just passed on the 8th dec. anyways wishing her for all the besting is awaiting her for next yr and many yrs to come ..

Forcing myself out of bed this morning after a long day yesterday taking wedding pictures since 4am until 9pm with 2 hrs nap about 8-10am.

my mother and i reached the Hualumpong station about 7.30am and asking for the platform for the steam train to the Ayuthaya. It is flatform 5 not 9 and 3/4 thank god for that.



the train starting off about 10 min late. and many thais are not sitting in their fixed spot on the ticket. they try to sit at any avialable seats and later they have to come to sit on their proper seats.

the train takes 3 hrs from bkk to ayuthaya which usually takes about 2 hrs on a normal train. the seats arent that comfortable (made of wood and cramped) and each time the train breaks or acceratres it bumps all the cars up which makes me wake up every time that happens.. well i am really tired so take opportunity to sleep while i can.

once we reached Ayuthaya we went to our buses .. we again supposed to sit in the fixed spot but many thais are sitting with their friends so we have to find any available seats coz i would be a big problem to move everyone up and down the bus .. this always happens on the bus anyways.

the bus took us around the city of ayuthaya and the guide explain the histories of ayuthaya as we pass the important places.

and we reached wat na phra main see a complete temple which not burnt down by burmese that time. there is a history about belive of a burmese general was coursed by the buhha image in this temple .. i don;t want to get into details as i couldn't remember every thing and this would cause misunderstanding..



After that we had lunch at River view hotel. it's a buffet lunch but the taste wasn't that good. I was really full though..

later we headed to a musium and to wat phra srisanphet and wat mongkol bopitr.

that's the end of our tour .. we headed back home ..
