VICTORY MONUMENT AT NIGHT

---

Keith, my Thai Culinary School classmate and photo mate, suggested that the Victory Monument at night would be a really cool spot to photograph. Victory monument is were all the protests have been going on during the last year and I had planned to stay as far away from it as I could. But since the courfeu has been stablished the streets have been clear and safe. The arquitectural location of the monument is next to the BTS (Sky train) and surrounded by a roundabout with a lot of traffic. The idea was to get a slow shutter speed shot of the cars going around the monument and since it had been raining all day the streets were still wet creating great reflections of the light of the cars and the signs on the street. It was pretty fun to photograph but the challenge was the huge advertisement signs in the background, because of their brightness it was very difficult to get the full fram well exposed. I also felt that I needed a wider wide angle but I was pretty content with what I got I just hope the shots are sharp because the photographs were shot from the walk around of the BTS and the train produces a lot of camera shaking when it goes by.

After reviewing my shots I liked a lot of them and I decided to share them all. If Im not deleting them I am sharing them….Let me know what your favorites are…you can vote or leave comments…I love to know your thoughts…
