another selfie (click photo to enlarge)

i seem to have been straying from the unofficial april theme of shooting people of late... oops. well this kind of brings us back. it's a shot of me taken in the lobby area of one of the skyscrapers in central. looking at this shot now it seems obvious to me that i should have been looking up to include my face as an extra point of interest. oh well! i plan on revisiting many of my shots (from the G12 project) with my slr camera one day to get some better quality images. i think this will be one of them.

i'm always looking up and down when i'm crossing one of the many pedestrian bridges in hong kong. all i have to do when i find an interesting angle below me is compose, then frame, then wait... the taxis will come!

you would never guess that i live near "dried seafood street"! i can always seem to find something interesting to shoot there. it seems these vendors don't want to waste anything when it comes to these fish - yet when it comes to shark, they don't mind wasting the whole animal except for the fins!! did i mention that i'm against 'shark finning'?

pano (click photo to enlarge, you know you should)

i was on the kowloon side of the harbour today so time to test out the G12 with a pano shot. this is eight shots, all taken vertically. the camera was set to manual with the iso at 80. the whole thing was stitched together with photoshop. i'm very impressed with the job photoshop did on automatic mode!

hike (click photo to enlarge)

i went for a hike up to the peak again today and as usual i had the G12 with me. i thought it might be interesting to dangle the camera by the strap near to the ground and see what i could come up with. even at its widest i found the shot was too close to my feet. so i found a stick that was about a foot long and dangled the camera from the end of that. i got some curious looks from passers by (but i'm getting used to that).
