Bastards to shoot

· 201 words · 1 minute read

It’s the time of year when Pattaya hosts a wide range of events, and things kick off this weekend with longboat and buffalo racing. The buffaloes are not doing their thing until tomorrow; but we went along to the long long boats this afternoon and once again I found them very difficult to photograph.

Capturing the whole boat is pointless; the thing is so damn long that you don’t provide any detail:

It’s like trying to photograph a stick insect:

PB140010-2

Had to make do with a couple of arty farty processed shots, to compensate for the less than stellar quality of the Panasonic 100-300mm lens:

PB220172

PB220210-Edit

Better luck with the buffaloes tomorrow perhaps.

I think you did a good job to be honest. To do what you really want here you need to be in a chase boat.

You wait days for an update and three come along together. (You’d have to be a Brit to understand that).
