Archive: Ultimate Thailand Explorers Briefing Session

From theĀ Ultimate Thailand Explorers Pattaya Blog Archive [originally published 9 December 2009].

In my ongoing postings from my 2 weeks in Pattaya, Thailand, we’ll end the week with the Briefing Session we attend. It was here that we confirmed our itinerary with all the things to do in Pattaya.

Given that it’s a 3-day weekend here in the U.S., what plans do you have? There’s plenty of things to do!

Hey Explorers,

The realization of 3 months of hard work is coming true. Today was our briefing session where all the teams reviewed their itinerary and learned all of the logistics for our 6-Day assignment. Here’s a YouTube video of our morning.

Browsing through calendars, travel books and online, you can see all these amazing photos of landmarks. I always wanted to know “how did they take that” – because my photos never looked that good. So I’m writing a series of these “how did they take that” posts to make you a better a travel photographer.

Last week I wrote a post aboutĀ How to Take a Photograph of the Eiffel Tower. This week, the series continues with How to Take a Photograph of Neuschwanstein Castle.
