Your holiday on Koh Samui will present some of the best photography opportunities imaginable. Food photography, elephants, orchids and maybe even your family, too.

All over Samui, but particularly at sunset, are bright sights you’ll want to remember, to show off on Flickr - to keep forever.

Consider our series of sunset photos, used above and throughout our site. We took them ourselves after lots of practice and - we think - it was absolutely worth the effort.

While Koh Samui sunsets are a subject worthy of lengthy study - a few quick photography tips will make a big difference between mediocre snapshots (that disappoint) and the money shots (the ones that get enlarged and framed).

To help bridge the gap - a few useful links to the wonderful, perpetually helpful Darren Rowse at Digital Photography School:

• 10 Beach Photography Tips
• 13 Tips for Improving Outdoor Portraits
• How to Use and Buy Polarizing Filters
• Macro Photography for Beginners
• How to Photograph a Rainbow
• How to take a Photograph out of a Plane Window

And, of course, a subject to which we’re rather partial:
