, cos I tried all of them at a sport event month ago. Nothing was really good for my handling. But this worked for me. As you know, I love photography therefor I test everything my Cam or I can do. I don't wanna buy new gears cos I am not satisfied with the result. First I try, test. Now after 14 month with my D5100 I know I have all the gear I need to get great pics. Now is the time to focus on me how I can compose, see and capture the right moment. No photography for me starts. I am happy and not afraid to take that challenge.

Re: Walkaround Thailand

The Million Years Stone Park and Crocodile Farm is a good place for who to love in the beautiful nature and fine culture of Thailand. It was founded by Khun Suan Phanomwattanakul, a businessman who loves the nature.

The Million Years Stone Park and Crocodile Farm located on an over-70-acre piece of land, this Park & Farm is a new striking tourist attraction created with more than 20 years' efforts, for all nature lovers.

For over 30 years since his youth, Khun Suan had made every effort to collect natural objects that are valuable because of their rarity or oddity, such as Thai-style trained trees that are more than 200 years old from the early Rattanakosin period, fossilized tree trunks that are aged millions of years, and stratified rocks that are so colourful, in the hope that one day he would be able to build a tourist spot for people from far and near and those of future generations, to view and admire together his collection of natural wonders and to study and learn from the actual things instead of text books, pictures and hearsay which would be then only choices if the actual objects should be allowed to disappear.
