On Barcamp Hong Kong 2011

Monday, November 21st, 2011

PB121868-Editar-Editar
Barcamp Hong Kong 2011 – The 5th year. Same time as I have been in Hong Kong. This year I really did not stay for the talks. I went to take some photos at the introduction and left at around 11.45am.

PB121871-Editar
Usually I have my drawing class on Saturday. This year…I did not do much at Barcamp.

PB121877-Editar
From the Barcamp introductions and the board schedule, I get a feeling the startup scene was much stronger as compared to the previously.

PB121881-Editar
A lot of apps developers. This year…apps dominate the Barcamp scene. Old dawg like me…just don’t fit anymore.

On Sunrise at Hehuanshan (合歡山)

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

aPA211737-Editar-Editar
We thought after checking in the lodge, we could do some relaxing. Then someone from the front desk recommended us to take a tour to Hehuanshan.

IMG_5698-Editar
He showed us the photo on his camera. It was very beautiful scenery. Since we were there, why not. The price $800 NT dollar for two.

IMG_5703-Editar
But, we have to be ready at the front desk at 4am. I say…’What, 4 am. My REM just kicked in!’.

IMG_5733-Editar
Anyway…it was worth it. I took some good photographs. Very cold. Probably about 9 Celsius.

IMG_5740-Editar-Editar
Wuling – The last stop before descending.

On Wing Lee St. & Vicinity

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

IMG_5532-1-Editar
I was out and about at Wing Lee St and the vicinity area during the Chung Yeung holiday.

IMG_5557-1-Editar
Plus, I just want to re-test the 18mm-55mm Canon kit lens. I left the lens in the storage for a long time. Reason – I was thinking if I should buy a Tokina 12mm-24mm or Tamron 17mm-50mm F2.8.

IMG_5566-1-Editar
I have a Tamron 28mm-75mm but realize it was not wide enough. Very good for low light(night shot)but…not just wide enough.
