^ Click to enlarge the photo to see the vivid colours delivered by the A12 in Vivid image setting. The neon-light signboard belongs to a Vietnamese restaurant. Eateries offering some weirder cuisines are tucked away along both sides behind the kiosks at the Ladies' Market.
Hang Gai Gai in Cantonese literally means "Walk Street Street" and can be roughly interpreted as loitering with or without intent.
^Racks of fanciful dresses to allure visitors and locals alike
Yesterday I mentioned the focusing sluggishness of the A12, notably in macro mode and less contrasty scenes. In normal situations, as for the shots posted here, the A12 locks focuses in a speedy fashion. For all the shots here, I came across not a single focusing problem. The performance was roughly comparable to the GF-1.
^Hong Kong feet? Nope. Feet massage.
Of course, it is not realistic to expect that either of them focuses as fast as a DSLR.
^The Ladies' Market is one of my favourite shooting field. It is always action filled. And the passers-by are always too busy with their shopping to bother with photographers shooting at will.
But we are not shooting animals running on a wild field. They were human objects going hither and thither to do shopping.
^Lots in Translation from top down: The world's smallest theme park of its kind in the red with the HK Government as the biggest shareholder; the famous gathering place for barflies in town featuring westernised bars in old southern Chinese-style tenement and terrace buildings; the huge manmade statute of Dali Lama...'s idol on top of a mountain on the same big island where the international airport is; the lifeline of the Kowloon peninsular.
This famous Ladies' Market is near to a street where the shops selling consumer electronics are. On that very same street, rag-and-bone men for used electronic items are common sights.
^Don't belittle rag-and-bone traders. I know one of them who trades used cellphones and his business has been so good that he is now a chairman of a listed company selling, well, used cellphones.
