Photography Contests and Activities (Hong Kong Only)

image

Probably for the large number of commercial powerhouses stationed here, Hong Kong is regularly with sponsored competitions of all sorts coming up. Photography competitions are certainly the commercial sponsors' popular choice.

Besides the dozen of photo contests separately organised or sponsored by a district council, the HK InvestED, the Radio and Television HK, the Civil Engineering Department, Greenpeace, Jurlique, HK Yahoo, Canon, Sony, Ricoh and Nikon (still going on) over the past seven months, there are two other photography contests coming up.

The first one is organised by the HK Science and Technology Park (picture above), for which you may check out the details here.

The other one is organised by the Wetland Park, which is less enticing prize-wise. The details are available here.

To accompany the photo competition, both organisers will hold some activities and talks on photography about the related themes.

Get going, take part in a photo competition. You may take some good photos and yet may not win. Well, winning takes more than a good photo. But afterall, you gain experience, with which you are set to become a better photographer.

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.
