April 2008 Archives

I just tested my camera and old lens this morning at the elephant bathing area, John the mahout of Prathida is telling his elephant to spray water to show off.

I am very excited to meet the new tourists in a couple day after we closed our mahout training course for one month during April as the weather was too hot for the elephant. But now the surrounding nature and trees at Thai Elephant Conservation Center are blooming the new leaf. I am very happy to see those green tree.

I just bought this camera and lens yesterday in Chiang Mai, after had been waiting for long time ago so I just decide to have one at Photobug Shop. The camera is very very impressive as it gives me Fullframe sensor like 35mm film camera,  but it's digital one.

So last night I could not close my eyes to sleep as I was very very excited to test it next day. Anyway I could sleep only 5 hours like elephants (haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) and then take the bus back to Lampang and then unpacked camera again and rushed to the baby elephant 7 ( seven is the name of young baby elephant at the camp) AI one year old boy already left for morning walk with her mother. So I found seven just returned from morning bath with his mom. Then I started clicking the shutter. Actually I really want Full frame Professional camera, but I could not afford it as It's too expensive. But Canon 5D is great full frame camera too, and I just realize about lens is very important one as well, because camera can last about a couple year if I use it toughly. So I bought one lens for standard zoom and it 's very handy for me..

So You will see the new photo of elephants almost every day ( if I have time for internet)

Here is some sample of photo in this morning..

Enjoy..

I think you already see a lot of things changed on the website as I have been trying to make big improve during April as I am off from the tourists for one month. We close our mahout training course for one month as the weather is too hot for the elephants, but it seems the rain starts pretty early, but any way I need to re charge my battery before working again in May as I have some booking of the tourists already.

So this first two weeks I have a chance to sit in front of computer and try to add just some layout of the website, but anyway I am professional web designer or programmer either web master who can do every things without breaking or ruining the website so I have to make a lot of back up. I think I can fill all information of the website within this month as I hope.

I posted this pictures of AI who now over one year old, but I forget to give him the banana birthday (sorry!! the elephant do not eat Cake so we better call Banana birthday) But I realize that Joanna from USA gave AI a lot of banana on AI's birthday.

We just came back from small trip in Lampang Area yesterday evening, we spent 2 day on the boat at Kew Lom Lake. It 's pretty tired as we swam and stay on the boat, but it 's fun. So this trip we bring some children of the mahout and and their family. We rather go to the beaches as there are big wave and clearer water, but any way the sea is too far for us and too expensive to get there. Let we plan it in the future.

Okay let see and enjoy some photo of the scenery of the lake in the evening and some during our trip...
