Free Photo Review Meeting

A Jenny of the Orchid Gallery (its website is either exclusive to members or not on its feet yet) who also belongs to the team running a non-profit making (as told by Jenny) Just Photography Group has hooked up with GXG and asked if a message can be posted here.

Well, who won't be interested in free stuff? So, why not? But first thing first, the author has not any personal connection with JPG or taken part in its meetups. A visit to JPG's meetup page reveals some quite interesting meetings though, as well as members from different nationality and background.

JPG has some paid courses and free meetings too. The upcoming free one is a photo review meeting with a HK-based Evangelo Costadimas. Maybe a great way to learn something new and meet some new friends? You decide.

Details of the event can be seen after the link.

(IMPORTANT: Evangelo emailed to confirm the following -- mark that the venue has been CHANGED: "Yes, this is open to everyone and is free of charge. The venue is not as stated on the poster but rather at "Joyce is Not Here Artists Bar & Cafe" on Peel street. Kick-off is Tuesday November 1st, from 7:30-9:30pm. People can begin to arrive from 7pm.")

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.
