Sally, Pretty and Grumpy

R0010965 (Medium)^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'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.

R0017856 (Medium)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?

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.
