Hi buddies, on my previous trip to Bangkok, I managed to go up to the Baiyoke Sky and State Tower to take the beautiful Bangkok sunset. Just wondering if any of you have any recommended places to go to for Bangkok sunrise? I was told its equally stunning as well.

Hi and greetings to Pentax forum members. I'm currently looking for a weatherproof, ie, tough camera for an upcoming trip to Taman Negara, possibly a hike up Gunung Tahan. I've decided on the Pentax WG-3 based on the camera's good reviews and also its retail price. The trouble is, I can't...

The view as you ride up the Maokong Gondola is awesome. It gets better when you reach the summit! Danshui and Fisherman's Wharf just before sunset is also beautiful.

Wow! Thanks a lot guys! I'll probably play safe and take pics of street vendors whom I patronise. Which means I'm gonna bust my waist when I come back! Oh well, for the sake of learning photography, some sacrifice is needed :)

hi folks! I'll be heading to Taiwan soon, and one of my must-go and must-do item is to visit the famous night markets like Shihlin and Raohe. Would like to ask those who have been to Taiwan whether the street vendors at the night markets are ok with their photos being taken by tourists?

Hi folks, will be going over to Bangkok end of the month, so intend to check out the cameras there. Any reliable camera shop? Better still, any to avoid?

Thanks sinned79! Went to your Flickr page and love the pics :) How did you prevent your camera from being soaked? I'll definitely make my way up the buildings you mentioned. Thanks again!!

Hello friends, I will be visiting Bangkok and I'm hoping if any of you can recommend nice places to take photos. I'll be staying somewhere near Lumpini Park, so I wonder if this is a good place to start. Also, I've started doing night shooting, so I would like to ask Bangkok experts here if...

Very nice and fantastic shots! I'll be there this Sunday. Are the HK people ok with being snapped on the streets? Saw that pic with that fish shop owner looking at you. Scary. Is it possible to take a photo of sunrise at the TST promenade?

Many thanks, Rash! Very nice touch on the space shuttle, ha ha. Will experiment with your pointers this weekend.

Hi everyone, I recently got addicted to shuttle speed effects, and I'm learning how to do panning. However, me being a clumsy oaf, my output has been horrible. Can any expert help put up a detailed guide on this technique? The other sources I found just give very superficial instructions...

Hi Shrimplet $740 sounds like a really good deal for the G12 because the last time I checked, it was selling at $849. Can I ask where you got yours?

As a photo novice, I can't comment on the lenses of course, but as a regular visitor to HK (for personal and work reasons), my experience with HK people is that they have issues with someone taking a photograph of them without permission. The paparazi press there are absolutely brazen (imagine...

I'm curious to know if any Clubsnappers participated in the current reality show "The Big Shot" now showing every Tuesday night on Ch5. It was an interesting learning experience for a learner like me.

May I ask where do I get a glossary of the acronyms used in the forum, eg, TS, RPP, ND etc etc? The discussion can get a bit jargonic at times.
