A Tuk-Tuk, a Thai three-wheeler taxi, in traffic.

On a different night from yesterday's photo, I took the 50mm for a test drive around Bangkok but only to capture out of focus images. I tried a quick Photoshopped version in which the background car is cloned out isolating the Tuk-Tuk but it didn't have the same effect as this one. The background car is necessary to imply motion in the Tuk-Tuk and to add an extra element of interest.

Backed up traffic in downtown Bangkok as seen from inside a bus.

More out of focus images. You'd think it's a no-brainer to capture an out of focus image but there's a fine line between distinguishable out of focus images and unrecognizable out of focus images.
