A few of mine with a mix of indoor light and flash

I own the following primes: 35 1.4L 50 1.4 85 1.2L 135 2.0L I own the following zooms: 24 - 70 2.8L II 70 - 200 2.8IS L II Since I picked up the 2 zooms I hardly ever use any of my primes.  The...

The shot of the 5 youngsters in the back of the songtaew is wonderful!

As a long-time exapt in Thailand, I wonder if you have your months mixed up?  Rain in February would be VERY unusual un Thailand.  The first half of the month is still very much the cool (and dry)...

FotoFile and its many branches is regarded by many as the best store for pro gear.  I am no fan of the branch in Mahboonkrong which is cramped and where everything is very hurried.  Try the branch...

I use the 24-70II the most, but the 70-200 2.8LII is my favourite....here's a few shots taken with it.

What sort of shots are you after?  If you're looking to capture cityscapes where long exposures are used for ultra sharp, colourful and noise free images, then you'll need a tripod and a decent...

I was out yesterday with the 85L II attached to the 5D3 and took 150 odd shots of the girlfriend in a local park.  My keeper rate *under near perfect conditions* was terrible!  Many shots at F1.2 -...

I would go for the 24 - 105 as I think it gives you more flexibility.  Bangkok is a wonderful city for photographers and I am sure you would benefit more from with the ability to shoot from 35 -...

This has been EXACTLY my experience too.  The version IIs of the 24 - 70 and the 70 - 200 are so good that I too hardly use any of my primes any more and the 85L II and 135L have remained in my...

You don't like the sound of this?  We all like to shoot different stuff....here's the sort of stuff I shoot when others are sleeping in Bangkok.

This time last year I was shooting with a 5D2 and more often than not a 24-70L attached.  I was processing photos in Photoshop CS5.Now I am shooting with a 5D3 with a 24-70L II firmly attached and...

Merry Christmas from Bangkok.

I played around with a friend's Sigma 12-24 II tonight and was quite impressed.  It was sharper than I thought it would be and it renders the colours nicely.  If I was in the market for an ultra...

Here in Bangkok, the 5D mark iii is 95,900 Thai baht.  The 6D is 69,900 Thai baht.In $US that is about $3,093 for the 5D3 and $2,254 for the 6D.Those are the prices at the best chain of photogaphy...

Siem Reap is very safe, and Phnom Penh is relatively safe.  I have walked around late at night with a 5D and 70-200 over my shoulder but in retrospect it was perhaps a little imprident.  The...

To the OP, many of the nicer things in life cost a lot more than some want to pay.  A friend once said to me that there's no reason to complain about the price of these things but rather, to work...

I enjoy exploring Bangkok at night, away from the neighbourhoods most foreigners find themselves in as you just don't know what you will come across.Here's a few shots from when I fell off the grid...

Image quality differences between the 5D2 and 5D3 are negligible at low ISOs although the 5D3 makes it easier to get the capture with more precise AF, faster operation etc.The only time I see...

On paper the 5D3 doesn't seem to be that much of an upgrade, but in practice it absolutely is!It's so much faster and more responsive from the AF to the general operation to the shutter lag - and...
