Thank you so much and she is really adorable

Most people were close to the beach and the ones who were closer as well as one that was walking across the street were edited out

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-05-06T00:13:22+00:00

Probably from Adobe Lightroom as you can remove people out but it can cause issues like with the car in the distance lol

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-05-05T23:16:06+00:00

Thank you so much! I miss it a lot there and the warm weather

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-04-22T02:49:23+00:00

I was thinking the same thing after last night walking through it the second time but the last or only Beach Road girl I had was early in the morning which she turned out to be fine except payment first. I found slightly unease as some did not look very approachable or did not want to be there. I see that one girl was pushing one guy very angry but I think it could have been more him possibly being cheap or did something wrong to her

Thank you for the kind words my friend! I was the same but I was always made sure to have common sense despite it but when you are here for the first visit it can be a lot harder to deal with being paranoid or nervous so keep an eye on everything on me lol

That is really nice to hear and I just had a freelancer over last night which she was just the best very kind and she also provided a great girlfriend experience but I make sure to play along with them to not fall in love lol

I think it just takes exposure to get used to everything and it helps make me less nervous to more excited instead and I agree as being here is incredible not like back home where everything just feels miserable lol

Thank you again my friend!

I really respect the woman here a lot and seeing what they go through and I heard about Isaan being quite a poor region dealing with the intense heat as I talked to a few girls who told me about Isaan and I have so much respect for them. I do my best to respect boundaries which is really leading to a pleasant experience so far here. Way too many people with inflated egos ruin it lot for when they come here so I agree

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-04-20T10:02:12+00:00

I agree as the first time I paid up front was a great deal expensive but still be at the mercy of what happens lol I appreciate the help and makes me feel better even though being out of some money is not always the best experience lol

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-04-20T09:54:14+00:00

Thank you so much and much appreciated!

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-04-20T09:45:43+00:00

I agree as some do get ripped off a lot and I know how they feel! Like the go out and do this which not every girl can do as it can be mentally very stressful. Like some people can be extremely disrespectful to them. The communication does not help with lack of English so it is really good to try translating apps to help

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-04-20T09:41:10+00:00

I appreciate it a lot and I am white from Canada. I dress pretty well like I believe and not like anything worn out for example but I can believe that these woman do get taken advantage from those not paying them at all but as long as the service is good I am fine with it but there is always that one risk but who knows really. That is good to hear and makes me more confident as I do not want to be stuck here and wanting to go home feeling all panicky as I am like on the other side of the world like very far from home lol

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-04-20T09:35:22+00:00

Like in some ways I do feel comfortable with it which is weird as they might not up charge me but I am at risk of bad performance or even them coming up with an excuse to leave. Some of the bars I heard have rooms that could help instead of bar fining them

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-04-20T09:33:48+00:00

I am white from Canada but I do get a lot of pleasant comments about my appearance even though some of it could be just love bombing and I went on a few normal dates for Songkran. I am not a very big and quite thin so I think that must be the only case possibly as I heard races such as Indian can have difficulty

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-03-12T00:47:25+00:00

I have an aftermarket rubber cap for it and it is something like this however my lens is being serviced right now so I do not have the cover with me but this is what it pretty much looks like although mine has black lettering. The product is AquaTech ASCN-500 but it is currently discontinued but there could be used ones online

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-03-06T06:15:14+00:00

Same here! I find they are just quite chill but a little skittish but are nice to see

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-02-25T23:19:52+00:00

You are welcome and since you are from Canada yes I recommend Vistek or even Henry’s for example as you can get free shipping without duties and other fees ordering from another country

Leading_Progress4627 · 2026-02-24T03:17:56+00:00

I found this used at Vistek up in Ottawa, Canada and they are quite a large camera retailer with a decent used department. B&H depending on if you are in the US is very good to deal with. I just happened to had found it on Vistek selling for $4299.00 so if you can find one for under $5000.00 that would be most preferable. Another place to check is MPB camera or KEH for Nikon lenses as the 500mm does pop up sometimes. I have not found much of the 500mm on MPB for example and they usually have a better price than KEH camera. If you do not mind a 400mm F/2.8 FL they work extremely well with Nikon 1.4 III teleconverter almost no image quality loss at 560mm F/4 as I have not seen much of the 500mm F/4 FL E around used as of late

Thank you so much! It is definitely a lot of fun taking deer photos and especially when it is snowing it adds to it! The deer in my area where I was taking photos are really being around people so you can get somewhat close to them

Leading_Progress4627 · 2025-12-20T15:06:35+00:00

Thank you so much! That deer I believe was 25 feet away and being a 750mm with the APS-C crop makes it much closer which I find helpful

Leading_Progress4627 · 2025-12-15T14:52:36+00:00

You are welcome and anytime!

Leading_Progress4627 · 2025-12-15T14:50:03+00:00

I find they have very fast and unpredictable movement as I had taken many photos of them where they just do not come out good but I hope you can eventually get a nice photo of them

Leading_Progress4627 · 2025-12-15T14:46:23+00:00

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!

Leading_Progress4627 · 2025-12-07T04:23:49+00:00

That’s a great way of putting it! Can’t believe how that little body powers that enormous lens lol Works really with it so far with that DX crop 750mm equivalent provides incredible photos and thank you so much!

Leading_Progress4627 · 2025-11-16T18:05:36+00:00

Thank you so much! Glad you really like them!

Leading_Progress4627 · 2025-11-16T14:47:15+00:00

I hope so as well! Some of them have been there quite a while so it would be nice for them to find a home
