Dai Wok ! (Big Trouble)

R0014204 (Large)

This is live report from Nevin at Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. A reckless taxi driver has just got himself into a big trouble by banging into a police bike, knocking it down and almsot running over the police rider, who was clearing the taxis parked along the prohibitied parking area. The taxi driver was apparently too busy leaving the area before the poilice issued him a fine ticket that he missed the police bike moving ahead of him and hit it.


The bike went "boom" and the police was seen crawling away as quickly as his hands and legs could carry him. He could have been devoured and run over by the taxi if the driver had taken a second of two more seconds to brake the car. It was a near miss and really horrifying. A police was killed just last month when a van sent his bike like a cannon hitting a railing.

In a situation like this, any local would gasp and exclaim, "Dai Wok" or big trouble.  The taxi driver is really in big trouble now.  The road is cordoned off for investigation and the driver can have his licence suspended for some months.  Dai Wok!

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.
