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.

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

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. http://www.pcworld.com/article/125645-2/how_to_buy_a_digital_camera.html http://www.cameralabs.com/buyers_guide/best_digital_cameras.shtml

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.

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. http://photoinf.com/General/KODAK/guidelines_for_better_photographic_composition_rule_of_thirds.html http://www.digital-photography-school.com/fill-your-frame

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. http://digital-photo...fill-your-frame

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.

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:

Tara looking very vampish.

A few Pook's girls heading back to work after a visit to the pharmacy. :D

Interesting photos of an early Noon Lin, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Lin, it really was a great day, and night lol.

Wasn't aware of that Jim, sad news indeed. She certainly livened things up in the bars, some character.

A clip of Soi Croc, Songkran, '06. Witnee enjoying herself. :rolleyes:

Not a very easy place to miss. Less than 5 mins walk from Cocktails n Dreams heading down Soi Bangla towards the beach, on the right. Small podium out front where usually a few of the LBs dance, cue Jimbo with some more photos hopefully. :D

Yes it was a very colourful occasion with some good postures.

Good to see you here Koyo7. The bar seems to have become very popular with forum members the last few months. Great location and hot girls is a winning combination, good luck with the business.

For any of us who have spent time in Pattaya, we often hear about the local mafia, and foreign ones also. Well this article on Thaivisa sheds some light on who some of the international players are. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/434966-foreign-crime-gang-activity-increasing-in-pattaya/ Foreign crime gang activity increasing in Pattaya By Staff Writers Communications between the United States Embassy in Bangkok and the United States State Department, released by the whistleblower website Wikileaks and featured in the United Kingdom-based Guardian newspaper, highlight a disturbing growing trend of foreign gangs operating in and out of Pattaya. The communication stated: “Thailand enjoys a rapid expansion of Russian tourists visiting Thailand but has to deal with an unwanted side effect - the presence of Russian organized crime networks around the popular beach destinations of Pattaya and Phuket.” Whilst the cable highlighted the increasing presence of the Russian mafia in Pattaya, recent arrests of foreign criminal gangs have, surprisingly, been predominantly from South America. Informed sources have also pointed to growing suspicions of a large Iranian drug network in the city, which Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) officers believe is the target of much of the recently seized drugs being muled in by Iranian tourists. Pattaya One reviewed the available evidence of criminal gang activity in Pattaya during 2010, which backs up the disturbing claims that Pattaya is increasingly a foreign gang hideout. The arrests of a South American gang of thieves operating in Pattaya made headline news late last year, when they were discovered in a house on a residential estate in East Pattaya with a large hoard of stolen jewellery, credit cards, laptops, cameras, gas bottles and blowtorch equipment. Denying all knowledge of these items, the Peruvian and Argentine gang were arrested following the arrest of two more gang members in Bangkok. The recovered items were claimed by victims from Bangkok and the surrounding area, and a Metropolitan Police 7 investigator believed the suspects were hiding in Pattaya, acting as tourists, renting vehicles and targeting luxury residences, before transferring money and valuables back to their home countries. Readers may recall another arrest in 2010, of another South American gang of robbers, this time from Colombia, when one of their members escaped from police custody twice, once from a hospital, after being shot during his first escape attempt. This five-man gang were thought to have links to another Bangkok gang, and they were believed to be responsible for at least 20 robberies in the Chonburi area. [more...]

Good to see you here Jim. I know I don't post on your threads often, as I have not been down that way for a few years now, but I always give it a once over every day to see what's going on and enjoy the eye candy.

Yea the build up provided some good afternoons around soi 6 where Pooks practiced on the beach and Lucky Love on some waste ground on soi 6/1. These 2 teams took it the most serious and ended up in the final, with LL prevailing.
