So after Nolan returned from HK, I got my first L series lens from him. Awesome isn’t it?

And so happens its also water resistant, like all L series lenses.

Mmmm honey tea!

Shooting at High ISO

Ricky Tang — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:55:00 +0000

I’ve noticed a lot of people are afraid of shooting at high ISO. One of the things I love about digital cameras these days is their ability to change ISO on the fly. In the film world, you can only have one ISO setting at a time, which is determined by the type of film you buy.

DLSRs now give you much more flexibility, allowing you to change ISOs on the run. As a result, you can shoot correctly as the light disappears.

I like shooting at high ISO. I don’t know why.

I think it reminds me of film…

For this set, I shot at ISO 3200. Not too shabby.

Got to take some traffic shots and test out my tripod + remote. All I need now is some ND grads!

Work organised a treasure hunt.

I decided to go to explore more of Sydney.

The weather could of been better, but was an overall fun day.

High in Sydney

Ricky Tang — Thu, 27 May 2010 15:23:57 +0000

As mentioned before, am now working at the Sydney Office for a month or so. This is the view from my apartment during the daytime.

As much as I think fulfilling a short term work trip for a few weeks is, it sucks living out of a suitcase. It does make it easier when you have friends down here in Sydney, but you do feel home sick, especially since I’m away with Ah Mi, and from my little luxuries at home.

Lately, I’ve felt lost. Especially down here during the working week, after work, all that is left is to go home and lie around and sleep. Try to keep myself busy by hanging out with the Sydney crew, but you can only do so much before you run out of cash. Everything here is a bit more expensive!

Mixed feelings so far. Good food and many things are convenient here, but there are also many inconveniences. Walking home from work requires the mammoth task of weaving through eleventy billion people and tourists. Something you really don’t want to do when you just want to get home.

Maybe I’m not busy enough… oh well…

Moon was out. Air was cold. Cool cars. Cool action. But fail pictures.
