Thank you very much for your kind comments. The camera that I originally used was FujiFilm FinePix 4800Z. All the pictures from Thailand were taken with it. With that camera, I did not make that many adjustments except zooming and focusing as well as using macro to take pictures of flowers or any close ups. My current camera is Minolta DiMage A-1. With this new one, I am beginning to use more features (e.g., contrast adjustment, filtering, etc.). Thanks also for sharing your ‘findings’. Hope everyone enjoys them. Mattana

I stumbled into this site and found your fine galleries. Who wouldn't be blown away by your captured images? Just stunning. I do wonder what kind of camera you use and whether you have to adjust its settings very much for all your different subjects. I'm going to share the news of my finding your exhibit. Thanks for the inspiration. FRANK
