Sometimes I find myself without any of my equipment, that’s when I resort to using my cellphone – Nokia C6′s camera.
The camera doesn’t have a lot of control and the color comes out a little funny, but it is a lot of fun working within the limitations, sort of like a Holga. :)
Near Ashbridge’s Bay one fine evening.
These were taken during my visit in Dongguan in June.
This house looks like it is going to fall over any second now.
Construction outside our China office. I wonder how tall the building is now.
Oh no, I caved in and got the Pentax K-5 & the SMC Pentax-DA 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR combo.
The 18-135mm is really fast at focusing while being fairly compact, I think this will replace my 18-250mm my walk-around lens. Photo taken on Ping Chau over the weekend.
The live view functions are pretty fast and convenient. ISO800 with 31mm at F/2.0.
ISO3200 with 31mm. Pretty darn impressive and I was able to pull off some decent portraits inside the dim restaurant setting.
For those interested in some comparisons, see how the
Pentax K-5 stack up against the Canon 7D.
Obligatory ISO12,800 shot, handheld at 160mm, 1/30s, F/5.6.
A crop of the above image. Still a lot of details!
Leaving Hong Kong today, see you on the other side!
Flying back from Hong Kong and landed at 12:30pm and had to be at the ceremony by 3pm. Rushing out of the house I grabbed the nearest camera, an Olympus EP-1 with a 25mm F1.4 C-mount lens. The combo turned out to be a lot of fun and quite versatile in the low light situation.

On your mark…

The first dance.

It is easy to get caught up with all the camera gear and forget why I loved taking photos in the first place.
Carrying 2 lenses (FA50 F/1.4 and Tokina AT-X Pro 80-200mm F/2.8)and just walking around downtown Toronto.
Been quite busy lately, but spent some time re-vamping the
gallery and
equipment pages (can also access from top of the page).
