Hong Kong Skyscrapers View from Peak 9×16 Tall Panorama Stock Photograph

Filed under: General — admin @ 1:04 pm

This is a particularly nice shot of Hong Kong’s Central district and the IFC2 Central Plaza and the rest across to Kowloon and Harbour. You will notice that it is 9×16 tall wide format. It was shot on my Panasonic/Leica Lx2. The one with the really noisy sensor. Well as mentioned before if you get the exposure right and have lots of light at 100ISO this thing does take beautiful pics. The Leica as I like to call it (the lens is Leica, the rest is Pan-0-shite) has now had a few images pass into Alamy meaning that it was not a total waste of money after all, especially as I have quite a few other really beautiful Brasillian Panoramas to submit…

And here is another of the shots that just passed Alamy’s QC taken from the Morning Loop overlooking Hong Kong on Victoria Peak. This shot is as common a stock shot as you are gonna get, thus it got marked RF… Bog standard, but nicely done… The Leica does do nice panoramas

I shot Niki Chow for a software interests group ealier this year. Well a few weeks ago I spotted this ad in the MTR. It was on the sides of the escalator so by the time I saw it and pulled out my phone/camera, it had passed. In the last few days they have started to take them down already, but today I saw this one in TST. The Nokia E61i does not take the best pics, but here is also one of the studio shots.

Canon 5D Mirror Popped off

Filed under: General — admin @ 9:02 am

Guess we were stressing it out, cause when Ike was shooting the other day with his trusty Canon 5D, hearing a tremendous “clank”… and the viewfinder went dark. Taking the lens off the body revealed that the mirror had popped off its bracket and was laying lose. Canon Hong Kong have been pretty cool about it and have said we will have it back in 3 days. They had better not charge us. Ike’s 5D was bought with a 2 year warranty, but when i bought mine a year or so later, it has a lifetime warranty. So lets see…

Apple comes thru. New iMac on the way

Filed under: General — admin @ 8:38 am

imac

Getting home this evening there is a delivery slip from Apple Store saying that they tried to deliver my Apple Purchase. Well it could only be one thing since I have not purchased anything from Apple Store, I buy my Macs from New Vision or Ultimate Mac & PC… New Vision tend to be slightly better on the service side. Anyways, my replacement iMac is on its way. I will have it delivered to the Studio where it will go to work next to its big sister. They are sending me a base model:

  • 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  • 1GB memory
  • 250GB hard drive1
  • 8x double-layer SuperDrive
  • ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB memory
Which will be slightly faster than the G5, but only after I spend another HK$1500 to boost the RAM to 3GB. Now another thing that I am wondering is if they are giving me a new machine to replace the one who’s warranty only has another 5 or so months on it. Will I get a new one year warranty and will I be able to buy Apple Care 3yr extended warranty? Guess we will just have to wait and see…
