Love in the Rain

R0013611a (Medium)(On a rainy night, I leaned near a window with my camera.  People passed by, business people, working people, lovers.  I took some photos.  The grainy film-like character of the GX200’s high ISo image adds a romantic feel to the scene)

Hong Kong has been misty and rainy for some weeks.  The rain is saying, "Come to dance in this season of love, in the rain!"

 

Love Won’t Leave You (Out in the Rain) ~Michael English

Why so blue
why do you start to break
under a  misty moon
under your skies of grey
well, in this life, you know
storms are bound to come
but try not to worry about it

Sun's gonna shine again
love won't leave you out in the rain
so walk that road
remembering you're not alone
you got someone to lean on
something to call your own
just have a little faith and then
when the clouds roll In
you won't have to worry about It
love's gonna shelter you
love won't leave you out in the rain

 

Of course, there is love between a mother and her children.  The scene warmed and amused my heart as I took this.  Raising children is never easy.  And it takes more than love.  Well, so is marriage, in my opinion.

Comrades, Arise!

 (Ricoh GR) In their own unique style, the squatting Mainland Chinese tourists have become an eyesore a common sight in the usually narrow walkways around the more busy areas in Hong Kong since the r eturn of Hong Kong's sovereignty to China (Editor-in-chief's note: Officially banned phrase for political incorrectness) Chinese Communist Party resumed sovereignty over the city. Hordes of  the likes are too generous in their estimation of either the width of the sidewalks or the number of people passing by them, so stretching out an array of luggage cases in a disarray fashion for making rearrangement or taking a recess never seems to be too unedifying a bother to them. No location can dampen their determination in doing so, not even if it is right at a shop front, which is a somehow laudable national quality potentially in a positive way. Well, there are always two sides of a coin. Through the artistic eye of a photographer, can't these scenes be reproduc...

Final Verdicts: GF2 in Action

By
(The rest of the GF2 review posts can be found here ) It is widely believed that the GF2 is a paradoxical downward-upgrade version of the GF1. So, after all the discussions of its bells and whistles, how does it perform in reality? First things first. Which or what kind of cameras should we measure the GF2 against for that matter? We believe that potential buyers of the GF2, maybe except for serial fad chasers and the diehard loyalists, are attracted by its smallness in size with a larger sensor to achieve better image quality, especially at ISO 800 or above. However, given the less satisfactory handling with for example just one dial, the GF2 cannot assume the place of a primary camera. Put together, these assumptions suggest that the GF2 is more suited to be used as a backup camera for social and street shots. Let's grill the GF2 on this basis. In the Hand An obvious merit of the GF2 is size. It feels much less bulky in the hand than the GF1 or the NX100, and just lik...

New Low Prices

By
The window shopping some hours ago has almost provoked my AgIDS illness.  Just in case you’re in Hong Kong or are coming here, and have the money to burn (All in HK$/ body only): GX200 = $3,280 GRD2 = $3,380 LX3 = $3,180 G10 = $3,280 Prices are available form a gear shop on the 1st floor of the Mongkok Computer Centre.   Besides these new low prices, I found that Wing Shing Photo (55-57Sai Yeung Choi St., MK Tel: 2396 6886/ 91-95 Fa Yuen St., MK  Tel: 2396 6885) is offering a Sony A700 + Carl Zeiss Lens package for HK$9,980 (hopefully, a bargain will make it some hundreds cheaper).
