Analogue Friday with the Nikon F3 Since the advent of digital photography my trusted Nikon F3 HP has not seen much daylight. Bluntly put, for the past 20 years this iconic piece of equipment rested peacefully in my Lowe photo-suitcase. This digital post is all about analog picture taking. Musings about digital photography are here.… Continue reading reviving my Nikon F3

top 10 photographs of 2018 – the journey
Originally inspired by pro-photographer Martin Bailey (website), I just compiled – what I most humbly consider – the 10 best photographs I took in 2018.

Since last year I adopt a practice of choosing – what I consider – my best pictures of the year. Pro-photographer Martin Bailey inspired me to embark on this journey. I gave the process my own spin by choosing my “best of colour” and a separate set “best of black and white”. I find it… Continue reading late November: year end panic

more on: hiking in Hong Kong
Luck had it that I could spend a number of weekends in Hong Kong between Nov 2017 and March 2018. Hong Kong is a hiker’s heaven all year round, but the relatively cool winter months make it a paradise. Once back home, I started thinking how I could possible blog (aka diary-ise) all these beautiful… Continue reading more on: hiking in Hong Kong
