Victoria Day 2010 – Wabamun Lake, Alberta, Canada
One of my life long goal is to get a house with a natural lake view.
Wonderful road trip to Wabamun lake, this provincial park is one of the greatest fishing location here in Canada. It was absolutely sweet!
We did a family shot with the Hayes family! (well, most of the shots were of Mary haha…) Here is a quick look in one of the shots.
More to come.

Here are couple of shots I took few weeks ago in this place that unfortunately I don’t remember the name.
17-55mm f2.8 remains to be my only lens left after selling both sigmas and the 18-70mm kit lens.
But this lens is surely enough for most occasions. The results are pretty stunning.
One thing I don’t understand about Canada – Why do they use sand instead of those artificial plastic pads thing?
This was pretty funny
Loving it
.
17-55mm f2.8 is golden!
Oh, people are stealing my photos and removing my watermarks, looks like I will have to do something slightly smarter to protect my copy rights.

Here i would like to introduce my first clients – Alison and Pete, being in my first official photo session.
It started out as a gloomy Saturday morning and we had to wait for a while before the clouds start clearing out.
So here are my favorite picks, the rest will be uploaded to my photo gallery soon 
I am really impressed with the results!
Memorti.
Went and see my supervisor today. Got my paper back, got lot of points need to be improved – Hopefully it will keep me busy next week.
Anyway, here are the last sets of photos from Pauline and Regina’s Baptism.
I sincerely think that I just took my photography skills onto the next level; pretty happy about it.
Again, all shots taken with THE 18-70mm f3.5-4.5.
Here is the almighty Regina
Ready to Go!
She didn’t get drowned. This was one of my favorite shot on that day.
And Miss Littlo P sharing.
I really enjoy shooting 7 frames per second (my old pentax K200D only does 2.8fps…orz), very neat, even with a kit lens.
Choir
I think PG is pretty cool.
It was quick
Uncle Hayes.
Philip. and old lady just bumped into my screen by a mere coincidence; her blurred presence made my photo more dynamically 3D.
Sometimes photography DOES require luck.
Regina, pretty happy. LOVING THIS EFFECT MY GOSH.
I will zip up the group photos later with a password.
It was fun.

Baptism Part 2, shot entirely with 18-70mm F3.5-4.5
Still working hard on my Photoshop skills
Philip and Choir
Regina And Pauline

Mr Ringo Chan
Face retouching can be difficult; I am getting there…
Regina and her sharing.

More to come.

Right, It was January 23rd. The day my precious Pentax K200D died on me; it died at least, shamelessly, gloriously, and peacefully.
It was a memorable moment. (Despite the FACT that the camera is only ONE YEAR OLD!)
Well I was slightly disappointed on Pentax and my bad luck, but oh well – It had been months and I got over it.
Lets take a quick peek at the last few works my K200D did on Ben and Shirley’s Wedding
I am not too sure if I should consider Ben and Shirley’s wedding as my first OFFICIAL wedding shoot, but oh well.
Consider me just as any photographer.
Some preparation work
Kane
I guess he likes it.
I think the freedom is always there, to smile or not or…
<3
Ben, Jeff, and PG
Mattana
Thats about it for now
P.S. I think there were about 20mins before my K200D died during a photo bursting mode…of 2.8frames per second. (now my D300s can do 8fps)
Memorti.
終於到左星期日
Calgary Trip
拿著$3000Cash 真的有點不安
入了兩部D300s
Muhahahahhaa
其實是因為Philip 要在Red Deer (紅鹿市)証道, 我們才坐這”順風車”去Pick up 相機
九時正出發, 買了個很貴的McDonald 早餐車上吃
十時多到了Red Deer, 這華人教會是借西人堂的一個課室來聚會
嗯嗯
想想, 不論去到哪裡, 所信的都是同一個祂, 牠的特性不會因著不同國家不同語言以改變
有點感性, 其實可說是基督教使我挽留一點人性 XD
教友年紀都比我們高, 聽他們分享到 “這一切都是上帝的預備” 我十分高興
當然我亦會想想另一個立場
非基督徒會相信一切是巧合
基督徒相信一切是神的預備
兩個立場都可以有一個十分Plausible 的解釋, 簡化來說是沒有邏輯上的問題
當然 我自己比覺喜歡向基督教一面提出疑問 (注意, 不是懷疑性的質問)
一切都是神的預備? 一切有點過分牽強吧了?
幾得Grade 10的聖誕節, 跟homestay 到了他們的西人教會
事奉人員給大家一根蠟燭,
崇拜時一個一個傳火點蠟燭
突然我附近的一個中年女人不小心燒到了前面大衣上的毛毛(這些帽子上的毛毛)
這女人立刻狂對火吹..
熄火了… 還帶留著一點火羅味…
這也是神的安排嘛? 一常身活中, 一切疏碎的事件都是安排嘛?
當然, 比較Extreme 點, 我可說 “是, 對, 是牠的安排, 安排我現在去思索這問題, 從而對牠認識更深” 等等這樣的解釋
又亦或是大事才是被安排的?這樣我們怎樣去衡量甚麼是大事, 甚麼是小事? 不大不小的又應該比classified 在哪裡?
想到這裡, 我的腦海中不禁浮出Roger Ratcliff (1978) 的Diffusion Model
嗯嗯, 另一個記憶Model
Parameter Z = Initial Boundary , Zero
Parameter A = Top Boundary Threshold
Parameter O = Bottom Boundary Threshold
Parameter U = Drifting Parameter
Parameter S^2 = Variance of Drift
套入這個問題, 人生就是一個Drifting Processes, Threshold 就是盡頭
所有Events, 不論大小都是關連於 Drifting Parameter 和 Variance
Difting Parameter 是跟著靈性而改變,
Variance 就是一個可大可小的數
相信聰明的大家都明白這個比喻
當然科學就是將Observed 的, 套入一個理論
理論可以不斷更改, 而Observed 的就不會, 不同的就是Oberseve 的時間和環境的不同
Observe 不到, 不等如沒有
嗯嗯
今天入了支18-70mm 3.5-4.5 (只因暫時性窮困)

Getting a Nikon D300s soon! I was originally planned to get a D300 instead to save around 500 bucks, but after considering the essential importance of the two year Canadian warranty and some minor upgrading functions, I will get the D300s instead (Got a pretty good bargain from a seller in Calgary).
While still haven’t sold all of my pentax lenses, I guess I wont be buying too many lenses for Nikon till after my flight back to HK
Here is a little list of lenses of interest.
| HK NEW (HKD) | HK USED (HKD) | Ebay Used or New(CDN) | Ebay Used or New (HKD) | |
| Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di | $ 2,600.00 | $2000-2200 | $ – | $ – |
| Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II | $ - | $3300-3500 | $ 426.00 | $ 3,237.60 |
| Nikon AF-S DX 12-24 f/4 | $ 7,200.00 | $4800-5000 | $ 650.00 | $ 4,940.00 |
| Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR | $ 14,500.00 | $11000-$11500 | $ 1,550.00 | $ 11,780.00 |
| Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II | $ 17,800.00 | $ – | $ – | $ – |
| Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G AF-S | $ 9,980.00 | $7000-7800HKD | $ 1,000.00 | $ 7,600.00 |
| Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX | $ 4,500.00 | $3900-$4450 | $ 620.00 | $ 4,712.00 |
| Nikon 18-200mm VR II | $ 6,200.00 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
| Nikon 18-200mm VR I | $ – | $ – | $ 580.00 | $ 4,408.00 |
| Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX | $ 1,750.00 | $1550-1600 | $ 241.00 | $ 1,831.60 |
| Nikon 35mm f/2.0 | $ 2,280.00 | $1800-$2000 | $ 303.00 | $ 2,302.80 |
| SB 900 | $ 3,700.00 | $3500-3200 | $ 490.00 | $ 3,724.00 |
| SB 800 | $ - | $ 2,300.00 | $ 380.00 | $ 2,888.00 |
Most likely I will be getting a nikkor 17-55mm or tokina 11-16mm for (ultra)wide first; then a 70-200m Little Black V; and finally a 35mm f2/f1.8
But of course again restricted by my limited budget, it will take quite a while….
And right, and I will be getting a SB800 back in HK
Let’s see how This Pro level camera facilitates my photography experience.
