A Big Family
A couple with 6 kids.
Sport photos
Some of these sport photos were taken with Tamron 500mm mirror lens, a manual focus lens that I have for over 20 years.
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Last week spring break, I bought my kids to Monterey Bay Aquarium. Its still a fun place to visit. Most pictures show here were taken by Panasonic 25mm F1.4 and/or Samyang 12mm with Nex 6.
Some track race photos
My son has joint the school track race team. Now, I have more sport photos opportunity! Here are some sport photos I took, using mainly Panasonic 100-300mm. It was fun.
Cat Town Cafe
I went Cat Town Cafe with my wife and daughter yesterday. The Cat Town Cafe is split into two rooms, the Cafe and the Cat Zone. The Cat Zone has some between 6-9 free roaming cats who are available for adoption, and you can freely interact with them. My daughter has chance to play with some cats there, and I have chance to take some cat photos. It’s a fun day.
Lunch with Dim Sum
Few days ago, my co-worker suggest to go a lunch with Dim Sum. Too bad, on that day, my co-worker go a flu, didn’t back to office. So, I send her some Dim Sum photos that I took instead.
Sony E 30mm
My second purchased lens during the holiday has finally arrived, it is the Sony E Mount 30mm Macro. I don’t own any E mount lens from Sony, I only have couple used Sigma lens; 19 and 30mm, they both are very good lens. Most of the time I was using old manual focuses lens on my Nex 6. This 30mm lens auto-focuses quickly and accurately, except at very close distances, then it fails to focus at all much of the time. Based on my experiences with other macro lenses, this is very normal. The initial test shot of this lens show good quality. All in all, I like this lens so far, especially, I bought it from eBay in great bargains.
All photos below are taken using this 30mm Marco. Happy New Year
Samyang 12mm
I have purchased couple of used lens over this holiday. The Samyang 12mm and Song E 30mm Macro. The 12mm has arrived first. I took several pictures using it, initially, it looks promising.
My photography path
My photography path can trace back to the film days. I started out using Pentax K1000, Nikon F3 …… to Canon 20D and 5D. The recent mirrorless cameras has make me more excited on photography due to their size and their easy adapting old lens.
The below photo was taken in Hong Kong, a street selling old stuff like flea market.
