Title: Cityscape - Siam Square, Bangkok
Post by: shadowblade on November 29, 2018, 12:20:48 pm: Gridlock underneath Siam Station, in central Bangkok.

A7r3 with 24-70 GM at f/8, 30mm, ISO 100. Stitched and blended panorama with four frames at five exposure levels each (1/125s to 2s, at two-stop intervals).

Wow!

Which program blended that? Any manual adjustments?

over 15 million in the metro area.

About 1 in 8 Thais live in the city, about 1 in 4.5 in the metro area.

It has been a mess for as long as i can remember (1990's).

Nor in the eighties. Still, it was already impossible to maintain any conversation, not even shouting
The Thais loved noisy vehicles

All the traffic on both sides of the el is running away from the camera except for one lane. Weird, man.

In any case, a great image. Congrats. And thanks!

It's much easier to get around than it used to be - train lines are always expanding, while Grab is a much better alternative to unscrupulous taxi and tuk-tuk drivers.

I think traffic direction in some of the lanes changes with the time of the day - cars run the opposite direction in the morning.

Not sure. My next destination was Japan, so I got Kobe beef in Kobe...
