Selected Excellence: Mountains

A reader, Christopher Guy, sent me a photo which I consider excellent and wish to share with all of you today. It is taken with a LX3. I like this photo a lot. Well done, Chris.

Regrettabely, Chris hasn't given me his blog or other addresses.

The first sight of the photo reminded me of this song: Climb Every Mountain. Good photo and a good song. Have a great day! :)

(The part after the song seems moving. Anyone speaking Dutch can enlighten us on what are being spoken after the song? I copied a gist translation for the Dutch part anyway: "At 2:36 he say's: Well done. Then he says: This is a moment for you, aw sweetheart! Well done. A song with a story. This is a very special moment for you.. it's a hard song. Should you do that song? She said yes, because: I can't talk.. she said. She sung the song for someone who isn't living anymore. The people on the blue chairs thought it was amazing and they had tears in their eyes!")

Hi Nevis, Your translation is pretty good of the presenter and the singer Nikki. She one the Idols series last year by the way and released her first album at the end of 2008.

Cheers from the Netherlands!

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.
