Pretty Bright Lights – HK

July 23, 2009

Time is flying by and things have been pretty hectic. This past week I was playing around with the Lensbaby Composer with a custom made aperture with some really cool effects.


Recently I just wander around the city without worrying about how to compose the shot or think about what lens to bring.

Sometimes I kick myself for not having a camera on hand but it is quite refreshing to just explore and enjoy the setting.

A vibrant sunset near Dongguan. I was so tired the camera was set at ISO1600 and then realized I had gotten off at the wrong train station…

Waiting in the rain. I covered him with a few more umbrellas!

My 5-week journey in Asia is coming to an end. Time to start packing again, see you in Toronto!

Nights Filled with Longer Hours

May 7, 2009

I am in Boston this week visit fellow Azure Dynamics co-workers as well as doing some photoshoot for the New England Aquarium.
I think the feeling of being done school has finally sunk in.

This animation was taken from Brian’s balcony near Yonge & Bloor. Lens used was a lensbaby with a home-made spiral aperture.

A Walk in the Park with FA*300mm

March 18, 2009

It is crunch time for projects, labs, and reports but I just couldn’t resist the nice weather and went out for some shooting. I took the FA*300mm/4.5 ED [IF] and focused my attention on the Canadian Geese in the park. The lens never cease to amaze me with its resolving power, here you can see the water droplet falling from the beak of the goose.


It was getting a little dark but I tried to freeze the movements. Here a goose coming in for landing.


Shaking the water from the feathers.

5 days till Symposium…back to work!
