Give me lots of nearly cloudless blue sky, my Canon FD 24mm wide angle lens and some fresh Kodak Kodachrome 25 and I’m a happy guy!
This is just a few images from my port visit to Pattaya Beach, Thailand in December of 1978. I managed a couple of off days to make the crazy (back then) trip to Bangkok.
My “follow me everywhere” Canon F-1 (1978 version) loaded with Kodachrome 25 and my FD 24mm f/ 2.8 lens captured these images at Wat Phra Kaew in central Bangkok.
This guy always makes me smile.
Young monks taking a break.
Very shy ladies practicing their music.
Nothing like turning your 24mm lens for a tall vertical shot. The Kodachrome and Canon lens captured every detail.
Almost 40 year old Kodachrome. Still as brilliant as ever!
The F-1 metered this shot perfectly.
Gotta have at least one silhouette in the mix.
An amazing country to visit. The colors of everything just popped! Mid December sun angles were never a problem. Bright blue skies helped with capturing the details as I was able to stick with ASA 25 even when hand holding my FD 80-200mm lens.
Thanks for your visit!
