What can be more wrong than staying on a fishing island without riding a boat, or in the case of Cheung Chau, a water taxi, a.k.a. walla-walla? The name walla-walla was originated from, in case you have forgotten it, the rumbling of its engines.
So I took a ride on a walla-walla and, of course, shoot while on board. If the likes of NX10 is ever to disappoint a photographer, it is when shooting moving subjects or on a moving something like the walla-walla. The slower focusing speed particularly of the zoom lenses had left much to be desired under these situations.
But anyway, I still managed to do some interesting shots.

This is what a walla-walla looks like. Primitive, but the ride was enjoyable.

The Dragon Boat Festival is on tomorrow. These guys are practising with yells and cheers amid the drumming beats.
