On the island of Koh Kred, north of Bangkok, just across the river (or the canal, actually, since that part of the river is man-made. Koh Kred wasn't an island until 1722) from Pak Kred, there are potters. Seeing them in action is more like watching alchemists, making art from clay, at a pace that is mind blowing.

It was very dark, and the little light there was, came from windows in the ceiling behind him, so I could hardly see his face at all. I shot at ISO 200 to be sure that I could lighten up his face without getting a lot of noise. If I had exposed for the face, I would probably had blown highlights all over the place.
Very tricky place to take photos, and I had too little time, but I'm going back for more
Just having fun...
