Description
taken on a recent trip to Thailand. Spent 3 nights in CRAZY Bangkok.. took this on the big bridge at the intersection of the MBK centre (good cheap shopping there btw!!) and hoped for the best.. not 100% happy with this shot, dont like the negative space in the top left hand corner, wish there was some city scape to fill it in with.. didnt walk around with the tripod enough to try other shots in the city but now i am wishing i did...my final words on bangkok.. CRAZY INSANE CITY!

excellent effect. I was on that same bridge taking same pictures, like so many others. But your traffic light effect is stunning. Regards from Belgium.

Oh, wow! So cool!
I'm sorry you're not happy with it, but I think it's amazing.
Great job with the long exposure!

Actually, I think that the blank space at the top is a good contrast to all the light and excitement on the rest of the photo.
The left side of the street looks a lot less busy than the right side so it fits in.
I guess you could always Photoshop in a moon or two.
Great work.

Yeh, work's always a killer...
Studying graphic design. I used to work heaps, but not anymore...I left my dads, and left all the un-needed stress. I start work at Willoughby's RSL this week hopefully, should be cruisey! Can't wait...
Nice gig with the weddings...How'd you get into that?

ah the world of GRAPHIC DESIGN!!!
it doesnt pay good money
if your after money tis not the industry you wanna be in
where abouts you studying it at? i hear enmore is pretty good.
got into the wedding thing by luck... a friend liked my stuff and got me into it.. its abit full on but its good to get your skills up to a pro level.

I'm at Hornsby...I think they're pushing all the IT design over that way...But it's good.
No money? I don't believe that for a second really...Well, it depends what you want to do really, and how much work you want to take on. I think if you're employed by someone, then yes, you will be very limited in what you're earning. I have a plan for work though, i think i'll be able to pull in a lot of accounts from the jewellery industry cause of my connections, and if you offer the right price, you'll be in the money. There's a huge gap in the J. industry for this kind of work, mainly cause the 2 or 3 main designers are charging thousands for really small jobs and small places just can't afford it. I'm not going to be looking for huge accounts and fighting people for work, my plan is to help the little guy, take on as many people as i can handle, and just pump out as much work as possible. Basically to get my name out everywhere...I'll see how i go in the next few years though when i start my studio-oh-oh-oh...As for tried and tested, i have a few people on board which have been very happy with the work i've done, and that work will continue, i guess it's just keeping all the work flowing in and out which'll be the problem.

yeah i guess it depends what you wanna do..
i believe in general design is still shit money but if your taping into a market that hasnt be touched you might be ok
goodluck with it all philly

It's not so much shit money, it's how many people you have to fight to get the good money. I think you could live a very comfortable life as a designer...
And thanks Verty!!!
