Mike,
I was a PMI with the 12th CID in Sattahip, 1968. Francis Robinson was my warrant offcer at that time. Enjoyed your photos very much. I wonder if "Barbos" restarant is still in operation in Pattaya?

Dear Mike Davies
I was an RAF Sgt based at RAF Changi 1967-9 and was on several flights to Saigon and one to Thailand during that period. I now live in Pattaya and would like your permission to try to paint a couple of pictures strickly for my own pleasure based on the Photo's of Pattaya you took in 1969. I don't paint professionally but just as a retirement hobby. Incidently my first "visit " to Thailand was while I was on active service in Malaya 1957.
best wishes and thanks for some marvelous photo's to admire
Basil Hughes

The Spotmatic was (is) a fine camera. I bought mine new in 1969 and used it for many years with no problems. My lenses were all primes, no zooms (which were not recommended in that time period).

I shoot either in JPEG or RAW format depending on the situation. My Canon 20D has all the sharpening and saturation turned off, so images are slightly dull and soft compared to many cameras which leave these functions on by default or do not have the ability to defeat them. I try to color balance images in Photoshop, often add a touch of saturation boost and sharpening after cropping. Also, note that some of the Rocky Mountain pics are from older Kodachrome and Ektachrome slides shot on my Pentax Spotmatic.

Mike,
I liked your Canon 17-85 pics very much. Did you do any post processing on these pics (Eg: the Rocky mountain and Napa valley ones) or are they straight off the camera?
