There
was a free day in Bangkok before the flight home so I decided to pay a quick visit
to the Grand Palace area. Unlike my previous visits - in 1953 and 1978 the area
is now packed with tourists. I have included a couple of scans below from original
Anscochrome slides taken in 1956 with not a soul in sight! The images were somewhat
faded but have been brought back tp llfe in Photoshop
Memorial
Chedi is in the centre of this pan of the Wat Phra Kaeo. Far left is the Phra
Sri Ratana.
Well
that's it - a total of about 5200 images taken - of those 160 were infra red pictures
taken on the Dimage 7. Time Lapse sequences took 2950 pictures and ordinary images
taken on the D70 numbered 2125. About 80% were shot on the Sigma 18-200 and most
of the rest on the Sigma 12-24. A few were taken on the Nikon 105 macro lens and
I did not use the Sigma 70-300 at all. The Nikon D70 behaved brilliantly all trip
with no problems. The images on the cards (3 x512) were saved on the Epson P2000
every evening. On arriving home they were copied immediately to both the hard
drive and an external hard drive. The originals were then checked in Photoshop
and post processing carried out if necessary before saving the more useful ones
as Tifs. This was about 65%. Both original JPEG's and Tifs were then saved to
both CD and DVD (belt and braces) jpegs and tifs on separate discs. I
also shot several hours of digital video on a Sony DRC TRV30E which was also used
to record sound effects and speech for future AV use.
I
had no problem recharging my various devices as I was pleasantly surprised to
find adequate sockets in all the hotel rooms.
One of the problems of travelling
with a party is that you often have less time at a location than required and
one has to work quickly to get what you need. I would have liked to have taken
more time lapse sequences but the time factor and more importantly the lack of
decent cloud formations often made it impractical.
So
that is the end of my first all digital major trip with no film involved at all.
No
major problems at all and I think the percentage of usable images achieved was
well above what I might have got with film.
