Day trip Wetland


wetland

Wetland, a new "park" to Hong Kong people. We, Chung, Stephen, Joanna & me, spent half a day on it. No surprise. You can hardly find much differences to other parks in Hong Kong. If you like taking photos, perhaps it offers some scene.

If you would like to trace the birds, bring with you a tele-lens (over 300mm at least).

Manual film based camera

A black Olympus OM-1 - my new (used) film based mechanical camera. We born at the same year: 1972.

I brought it at ebay and one 85mm f/2 manual focus prime lens from a local camera shop at Ap Liu Street, HK. Both sold at a reasonable price (not exceed US$500 on aggregate). I tested it at that coming weekend, however, quite a rainy day so that I did not finish a complete roll ....

I still love taking pics with film based manual camera, especially mechanical one. They are reliable and, more important, you will make your every shot much more with your thought than a digital camera being used.

If you are new to photography, film based manual camera should always be your best choice.
