Update

Took this shot today. The only thing I know about this bird is that it's a Bulbul. I am not sure what bulbul it exactly is, though.

This was taken on a ferry. Another fine day a while ago. Happy SWF!

Hill gooseberry ; Lamma

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:21:39 PDT

I took this shot in Lamma, my favorite hiking place - with easy to finish trails, beautiful outlook when the weather is fine:

And it's quiet. In all, a great place to be. But now it's been well over a year and I haven't got the time to walk there yet.

I feel most happy when weather is fine and I have a camera with me to record that. This shot was taken at where I work. A fine morning it was, and I brought my camera that day, intended to take some shot after work. So I think it was a lucky day for me. Happy SWF!

Bronze Bull

Quite busy this week, just like to share a shot.

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 07:38:00 PDT

Just another shot that appears to be taken on a plane. No, it's not. I just zoomed in close enough to get rid of all other things, leaving only the clouds and skies in the picture. Enjoy your weekend.

Red Lory eating Mango

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:35:50 PDT

In my last not-so-successful visit to the aviary, I met an experienced photographer who said, "When photographing birds or any other animals, a rule of thumb is to focus on their eyes." Yesterday the weather was at last cooler, so I went to the aviary again and put he theory into practice. With so some luck, the result is I got the best shot of the hard-to-capture Red Lory so far. Can't wait to share it here. :)

Time really does fly, now it's October already. So I feel like sharing a shot of a setting sun today. But as Sylvia has quoted, "Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we may as well dance". Have fun!

Two Black-capped Lories and a sweetcorn. Though it seemed they were eating some other fruit instead.

Just got this today

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 22:59:29 PDT

It has been nearly two months since I last went to the Aviary, today I finally put myself together to get there. I made a bad decision - it is too hot, most birds are hiding in the shade and I could hardly see any. So I didn't stay long enough and couldn't get the type of shots I hoped to. The only bird shot I feel passable is this: a blue-throat barbet stood near some mango.

Blue-throat Barbet

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:08:35 PDT

It's a wet day today, and it's likely that the whole week would be like that: A typhoon has just passed Hong Kong, bringing lots of rain. So I look into my shots and feel like to share the above (again).

On 1 Jan 2009, I took this shot:

On 21 Aug 2009, I went to the same place, pointed my camera at roughly the same angle, and got this shot:

An old shot (again)

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 03:29:03 PDT

My mother's cremated remains has now been committed to the sea, as she has wished.
Blog again this Friday.

Skywatch Friday 090904

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:01:00 PDT

Taken in Mid-July, I called this shot the last of Summer's Sunset. There had been a lot to do until I have time to take photos again. And that was after "Liqiu", the day that "signifies the beginning of autumn in East Asian cultures".

It was exceptionally fine yesterday, so I went waiting for the sunset and got a few shots, including this one:

Remembering Taiwan

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:07:41 PDT

Back in 2007, I had a brief stay in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. One of the places I'd been was Cishan, one of the eldest towns in Taiwan. So I was told.
After the recent storm, I have no idea if these buildings still stand.

A shot to share

noreply@blogger.com (kRiZ cPEc) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:31:13 PDT

Some time earlier there was a storm heading to Hong Kong. The sky, as
a result, became unusually orangish.

Haven't got the time, and the weather is bad, so this is another old shot.
Hope all things will get better.
