the photographer re-emerges

i've had my dslr since my birthday, but i never got to use it right away. i have been battered by continuous business trips that i forgot that i've had my most expensive acquisition.

that is until last night. woohoo! i was able to chill out in my secret tambayan at the top of ifc mall. it was a splendid view out there and luckily i was able to take photos of some hk structures. i am very proud of some shots because they really turned out well. my camera mentor dave is right: dslr's are so addictingly amazing that you'd never go back to those little cutesy digicams.

i may not be good at it yet, but i dare say that i am improving. it's completely different from my panasonic camera, although the latter is not so bad. but with my bestfriend nikon, it's all about control. it's all about endless trials. it's all about being at peace with yourself and your subject.

anyway, enough of the bs, here are my best shots for the night:


that's ifc, the tallest building in hk, avec la lune



i've been a frequent visitor of this place for the last few months. this the train station to the airport.



a giant glass structure. kudos to its maker


the tip. the ifc. the four seasons. the moon.


view from the red bar. that's kowloon island. this is my most favourite shot for the night. after i saw this in the lcd of the cam, i experienced that feeling in animated films where the excited character clutches her hands, raises her shoulder, lets out her tongue, smiles widely, closes her eyes and dreams happily. it's simply priceless.


and the place closest to my heart, after pinas of course - hk:




more photos soon...
