The August Weekend Quandary |
|
|
I have been musing where to travel to this
weekend but its difficult at this time of year (August) as the
weather is always verging on poor in Thailand with the sun breaking
through a few times but never, seemingly, on the weekends. It must
be some divine curse! Its even hard to get any shots at this time
of year to portray the rain or at least the rainy season as you
need at least some light or highlights to set the photo off, to
make it interesting. Its a very difficult time of year to try and
make photographs in Thailand.
I am considering heading down to Phetchaburi to see Khao Laung or
maybe up to Uthai Thani just for a scout. I think its preferable to
go with an open mind and have the camera in the back of the car in
case the opportunity arises. BUT not rely on the opportunity
arising as I will just get bogged off if it remains cloudy and
overcast for the whole weekend.
Its funny really. When you think of Thailand you think of sunshine,
exotica and beach scenes. The reality is that the window for decent
photographs is not so big in terms of season and time. This azure
blue skies seem to be quite rare and at this time of year extremely
rare!
Never mind. November will soon be upon us with its good weather.
October is literally next month and the Chonburi buffalo races will
be taking place. Lets hope I can make the most of the winter season
and get some decent photographs of Thailand.
I think I should make the most of September just for scouting
around and plotting the winters photographs.
