Selected Excellence: Partial Nudes

I thought for awhile about the title. With the confine space of the subject line, I was left with limited choices.

Long time readers of GX GARNERINGS are not familiar with the name SY Hsu, a young rising star in photography from Taiwan and two-time winners for several categories in PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris contest. In a previous post, his publication which won him the honour was introduced to readers.

I just corresponded with him and learnt that the University for Creative Arts in UK, where he is going to earn his MA in Photography, has had him interviewed. For reason of controversy which these pictures may cause, the interview was withheld from appearing in the British press. (You may have well known that the rumour about the general way of doing things in the UK: If someting is mediocre, say good; good, say great; great, say excellent. Can the conservatism displayed be a matter of similar manner? You tell me.)

So I have the pleasure and his courtesy to publish another three photos from his book here. And you may wish to learn about what makes his career in photography tick, read the interview here (English).

(Postscript: The book is in English and Chinese. Ordering can be made via here. But the shopping site is in Chinese only.)

New Low Prices

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).

Mini Review of GRD II by Colin Bradbury

Today, we are going to learn some useful insights from Colin Bradbury in his mini review of the GRD II. Colin is a professional photographer stationed in Hong Kong. Photos are copyrighted to him. (St Agnes, Cornwall. 'Environmental' portrait) By COLIN BRADBURY: Just back from 2 weeks in rural England with the family over Christmas. Since this was a family holiday and not a photography trip I wanted to travel light. On that basis I left my DSLRs at home and took the GRDII as my only camera to save weight but also to see how useful it would be as the only camera in a variety of photographic situations. I have to say I was very pleased with it and didn't miss having a zoom or longer lens at all. The 28mm is a perfect single focal length and proved itself useful in a variety of situations. Landscapes are clearly well suited to the 28mm but less obviously I have also found it to be great for portraits. With a 28mm you are forced to do 2 things. First, to get in closer ...

Respite

(Ricoh GRD4) Yahoo! I found the invoice for the GRD4 and sent it to the dealer for repairing the malfunctioning manual focus, which rendered the snap mode totally useless.  I hope it will be soon for the GRD4 to be up and about.
