Sally, Pretty and Grumpy

^The Sally Lunn bun with cinnamon on top. Yum.

Enjoy your Sunday. If you're in Bath, enjoy the day with tea in the Sally Lunn's! Look this is the famous bun by Sally Lunn's which is housed in the oldest building in Bath completed in the 17 century.

^The Sally Lunn Building and me before going in to wait for a table

The Sally Lunn's seems to require lining up at all hours for a table. But, well, this is a main attraction of the place.

And when enjoying the tea and bun in the restaurant afforded me the chance to photograph the pretty, it was definitely worth the waiting.

The next experience was not so flattering. I was rebuked by this busker for the little amount of money he thought I had given him. He made a spectacular reaction by picking up the coins and threw it after me who had already walked several shops away from him. The idiotic photographer still caught the chance to photography him picking up the coins though.

But the grumpy busker didn't harm my passion to walk around and take some people shots. The first scene caught my attention because of her pretty face and it was she not his boyfriend shooting with the big camera. The second scene was simply liked for the lighting. His facial expression tells that he is being amazed by something, doesn't it?

Comrades, Arise!

(Ricoh GR) In their own unique style, the squatting Mainland Chinese tourists have become an eyesore a common sight in the usually narrow walkways around the more busy areas in Hong Kong since the r eturn of Hong Kong's sovereignty to China (Editor-in-chief's note: Officially banned phrase for political incorrectness) Chinese Communist Party resumed sovereignty over the city. Hordes of the likes are too generous in their estimation of either the width of the sidewalks or the number of people passing by them, so stretching out an array of luggage cases in a disarray fashion for making rearrangement or taking a recess never seems to be too unedifying a bother to them. No location can dampen their determination in doing so, not even if it is right at a shop front, which is a somehow laudable national quality potentially in a positive way. Well, there are always two sides of a coin. Through the artistic eye of a photographer, can't these scenes be reproduc...

Final Verdicts: GF2 in Action

(The rest of the GF2 review posts can be found here ) It is widely believed that the GF2 is a paradoxical downward-upgrade version of the GF1. So, after all the discussions of its bells and whistles, how does it perform in reality? First things first. Which or what kind of cameras should we measure the GF2 against for that matter? We believe that potential buyers of the GF2, maybe except for serial fad chasers and the diehard loyalists, are attracted by its smallness in size with a larger sensor to achieve better image quality, especially at ISO 800 or above. However, given the less satisfactory handling with for example just one dial, the GF2 cannot assume the place of a primary camera. Put together, these assumptions suggest that the GF2 is more suited to be used as a backup camera for social and street shots. Let's grill the GF2 on this basis. In the Hand An obvious merit of the GF2 is size. It feels much less bulky in the hand than the GF1 or the NX100, and just lik...

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).
