Krabi, Thailand

Here’s a few shots from my visit to the Railay beaches of Krabi.

Krabi is on mainland Thailand but has a few beaches only accessible by long boat. They’re very resort like these days but there’s still a few great bars and bungalows you can stay in pretty cheaply. Railay West beach is gorgeous with astonishingly warm water and a million tiny crabs that busy themselves burrowing in the sand.

It’s not the most impressive setting that the Thai islands has to offer but it’s worth a visit for a day or two.

Shooting the Brunette

I recently had the pleasure of a photoshoot with a local model. Thanks to websites like modelmayhem.com it’s now possible for wannabe photographers and wannabe models to contact each other and work together, often for free.

The shoot took place on Brighton Beach and surrounding areas. Always a great backdrop and it’s nice  to finally be taking photos on the beach that aren’t all about the piers and other pebbly beach paraphernalia.

This was one of the first real chances to get to grips with my new DSLR, the Canon 5D Mark ii. An amazing camera. I’ll do a full review of it in a few weeks time.

I’m loving the Cross-Processing look at the moment. A technique usually applied to film but can be simulated quite easily in software. I’ll let you know how in another blog soon!

There’s loads more from this shoot in my Flickr AccountCheck out the full day’s shoot here.

I’d love to hear your comments, good or bad so feel free to have your say!

Photoblog – Quadralith

One of the first photos taken with my new Canon 5D Mark ii. The eery sight of what was once part of the West Pier in Brighton, England. I’m attracted to sunsets and decaying objects so this is a double whammy for me!
