Hey BB,i want to reply as you know i not like the well worn path of superstars,she only in patts 2 weeks when i meet,in sept /oct i think,i stay for 7 months last year.I sometimes thought of your baby oil tricks,and photos.But i only do a little bit.You can find her at linda bar most nights.I think she superstar in the making.

Cheers for the lowdown Terry. There is always some excellent new talent coming to town for sure, much better looking than the so called superstars in my opinion and that of many BMs I reckon. The old baby oil tubs are gathering cobwebs in my cupboard, hope to be able to dust them off some time in the coming months. :D Hope you are keeping well.

Welcome LuckyLove, nice selection of ladies in the photo, something for most tastes I think.

As a direct result of an extreme overindulgence in Heineken and savoury treats, I have developed quite an impressive set of Tits meself.

Anyone fancy a butchers?

PASS. :P

Anna in the first photo looks ominous. I can imagine waiting in the wrestling ring and looking at her entering. Both my hands tied behind my back to give her a fair fight. :rolleyes: Oops, think I am typing out loud. Nice shots Jim.

In the following two photos you can see how I composed the face. In the first photo the girl is facing to the left and so I positioned her more over to the right to give the feeling of space to the left.

In the second she is facing more directly towards the camera, so I centred her slightly more is this photo, but filled as much of the frame as I could with limited space above her head.

Tits like this,up to me.

Regards Terry/The Plumber

Now that's what we are talking about, what a face, wow, nice find Terry. :rolleyes:

Get those legs in the shot! What a pic of May! :P :P :P

Just a general comment about Nut; I've never seen a bad pic of her. She knows how to smile on demand when being photographed some thing not everyone can do. The camera loves her.

You are correct Larry, nice pins on May indeed. And Nut is very photogenic also, never a bad photo of her.

What I can picture is... BB in his souped up wheelchair, camera in one hand n bottle of baby-oil in other chasing LB runners... :lol:

Haha...classic Billy, and probably not a million miles from the truth.

Good to see you here pal. :D

Jimbo, thanks on behalf of all our forum members for posting all these photos of Cocktails and Dreams girls.

Guys, I don't want Jimbo's great thread to get polluted with login issues, so please click this link to tell us about login problems.

Now now Larry, just trying to give Jim some instant help. Perhaps he doesn't have time to trawl through the forum looking for a time saving solution. :D

Anyway back to the thread. That Face looks tasty indeed Jim, big truncheon you say. :rolleyes:

Ok gents, you have the lady back in the room on a lovely Thai or where ever you are sunny afternoon. You think yeah she would look great posing in the window area or on the balcony while you shoot from inside the room. Everything looks perfect, she is playing up to the camera and you take your shots.

You review them on the monitor of your camera and to your disappointment she appears as just a silhouette. What can you do?

Well the easiest thing to do is force your flash to go off and therefore illuminate the subject. You can use this technique outside in daylight also where the sun is behind the subject.

The lovely Liou was kind enough to assist me in illustrating this point. Guess which one used the flash? lol.

But for me, more than anything, I think maybe it's the general sense of possibility in the air. Like you can make anything happen. It's kind of hard to define. But whatever you might be in for, the shenanigans you can get into in this country are the kind of stuff the stiffs back at home just can't believe . . .

I agree with a lot of what SiamSam, PD and yourself wrote, but this in particular hit a cord. It's that wonderful feeling when you head out onto the sois with a few 1000 Baht in your pocket, knowing most things are possible. When I worked in Bkk a few years back, it got to the stage where guys would say they weren't going to bother scoring on a particular night, that tells its own story.

We all have a common reason for being on a forum like this, our liking for and interest in ladyboys. It is arguably the main reason most of us go to Thailand. But besides the ladyboys, what else do you enjoy most about Los?

Personally I really enjoy the weather, the oppressive heat at times does not bother me too much, when I consider the alternative, winter back home. I am not a huge Thai food connoisseur, but I am partial to a reasonably priced Indian meal, which is easy to find.

So gents, what is your buzz in Los besides the LBs?

To get as much of those legs in as possible, I get the girls to sit in a position that minimises the amount of wasted space and maximises as much body as we can fit in the frame. Try to use the extremes of the frame to fit in as much body as you can. Can you imagine how unpleasing on the eye the following 3 photos would be if I had placed the faces on the middle of the frame. Use portrait if if suits more as in the first 2 photos, and as you can see landscape suits the 3rd photo more in this particular situation.

Most cameras have an option of displaying the grid that will help you compose your photos using the rule of thirds, yes that is what those annoying lines ruining your display screen are for.

This example shows how the lines cross at the girl's smile., thus drawing our attention to it. Not sure if she is packing, very much doubt it.

Lucky Love didn't have a team. It was Hansi's other bar, So What Bar, and the ones who ended up being the champions.

Your right Lefty, cheers. The old memory is fading, I need a refresher course on the bars of Patts. :D

Nice resource BB.

Noob question here, if bringing a camera bought in the States to the LOS or vice versa, is there any AC/DC issues with using the charger?

Good question, and to be honest I am not sure. My 2 Panasonices are the North American models/versions of the camera. One I bought in MBK and the charger worked fine, both in Thailand and Ireland, the other I bough online, and it works fine on the Irish electrical system.

For any of your guys thinking of buying a new camera, here are a couple of links to help you out. They deal with the different types of camera, what to look out for, and recommend the best in each category.

Should be of use to some of you.

Some more examples of the rule of thirds combined with filling the frame as much as you can with your subject. When the girls are sitting in one direction or the other, use the portrait position and move them to one side or the other. Fight the urge to centre them or you will have some wasted space behind the subject.

If you imagine the rule of thirds grid over these photos the vertical lines would pass through the upper body and the lower horizontal line going across the legs.

Photos 1, placing Lidia to the left so she is in an L shape showing off those legs, yummy.

Photo 2, placing Nut to the right so she is in an L shape in reverse.

Some great stuff here! :D

Know one buddy of mine said that a 5 minute talk with BB about "Thirds' significantly improved his snaps!

Thanks PD flattery will get you a 30 Baht Archa :P Looks like the links may not open, if so they can be accessed here.

Have to agree with Ciobha, Yok is one of the nicest LBs in Patts. Great girl.

Fill the Frame:

Another important basic tip is to fill the frame. I'll use the same photo to illustrate this point. When you are going to take a photo of someone, why not turn the camera around to portrait position. This way you can fill the frame. Use the zoom or walk to get closer to the subject to minimise the amount of empty space and emphasise the subject and show as much body as is possible. Compare this photo to the centred one of Shar.

I decided to start this thread here to give the guys who are not used to taking photos some simple pointers to help them improve their photos on their ladboy recording adventures. Now let me say from the start I am in no way a photography expert, far from it. I am just a guy who enjoys taking photos, reading tips online and putting them into practice. I don't even have a flashy DSLR, I only use a Canon S5 bridge camera and a Panasonic ZS3/TZ7 point and shoot. So I hope you more knowledgeable of photography BMs can help the guys out also.

Some BMs have said to me they like my photos because they make them feel like they are there in the bar with the girl. So I will start this off with some tips on taking those shots, the ones most of us will be taking, besides the room shots.

Rule of Thirds:
The most common mistake guys make is taking out their camera, holding it in the landscape position and placing the subject slap bang in the centre. This leaves a lot of wasted space above and either side of the subject. To combat this, if you want to use the landscape position, place your subject to the left or right, depending on the way they are looking. Also don't leave much space above their heads. This is called the Rule of Thirds.

Basically it means dividing the photo up in sections of 3, ie 2 horizontal lines and 2 vertical llines. Where the lines cross are where the eye naturally looks when observing a photo.

When you are aware of this rule you will see it everywhere. Notice it the next time you watch the news, chat shows, movies etc. It is one of the fundamentals of composition.

http://photoinf.com/..._of_thirds.html

Diagram 1 shows the rule of thirds and the main points the eye is attracted to on a photo.


Photo 1 the subject, Shar in this case, looks a bit lost in so much space. Why place her in the very centre?

Photo 2 by placing Shar to the left, we can only wonder what she is looking at in the distance.

These are amazing pictures. Makes me want to buy a plane ticket today. I have never been to Thailand but trying to learn. From what I have been reading there are two Pook Bars. Am I correct that the photos here are not the Pook ladyboys from Soi 6?

Good question. They were taken when the girls worked in Pook Swan, Soi Buakhao, but sometimes some of them move over to soi 6 also, seems to be a rotation thing. Thus the confusion perhaps.

Anyone recognise her?? :rolleyes:
