龍的足印

因為「造作工房」台曆的原故,特意到了尖沙咀天星碼頭拍了曾灶財少有真跡。可惜港府為“保全”其完整性,為那根寫有皇帝墨寶的柱子蓋了一大塊玻璃罩,基本上沒有有一個角度可以看清九龍皇帝的功力。

九龍皇帝當年多數出沒於東九龍,觀塘、藍田、將軍澳一帶經常可以看到他的大作。幾日前發現原來曾灶財的真跡近在咫尺,他其中一個保全得比較完整的作品就在我現在的辦公室附近,一晚深夜回辦公室時路過裕民坊拍下這張照片。

九龍皇帝真迹

Creativeworks Calendar 2010

We have just finished distributing our brand new Calendar 2010. It’s a new year present to our valuable customers and friends & families.

This is the cover of the calendar. It’s a scene outside my home. 獅子山下

Each month features a particular Hong Kong scene. This page is for September – Kowloon Emperor 九龍皇帝.

On the back of the picture, it’s a full scale calendar. It should be enough for writing important notes without making the calendar too large.

The last page of the Calendar is a sheet of stickers with different meanings. You can stick them on the calendar to specify the events of the day.

The calendar with the stickers on.

Calendar in action. It’s a very good companion to your desktop ;)

The Lost Instrustions

After using several times of the Little White (EF 70-200mm IS USM), I realize that it’s too heavy for a whole day shooting task.

For a very long time, I have refused to buy a battery grip for my 20D as I don’t want to put extra weight to the camera. However, the Little White is too heavy and make my hand hurt after shooting my friend’s wedding day. The only solution is to add a hand strap. Although there are a lot of hand straps from provider other than Canon, they look weird and qualities are not as good as Canon’s. The Canon hand strap is only avaliable when you have attached a battery grip. Then I have new equipment this week again, the BG-E2N battery grip and E1 hand strap. Wow… the battery grip is a lot heavier than I ever thought. But with the extra shutter, AE lock and the AF point selector buttons, it does helps shooting in vertical orientation. After attaching the battery grip, it’s time to install the hand strap. But… where are the instructions? How can I have it installed properly with my neck strap? After some googling, here is the manual.

Frankly speaking, I have never seen this before. I don’t know if it’s in any page of my camera manual. In the old day when I was with my EOS 33 (hum… it reminds my bad story again) , I had this hand strap too but I can tell that I installed it totally wrong.
