Olympus OM-10 - First contact

At the very last of 2009, I have got myself another new toy! The Olympus OM-10 film camera!
It has the exact same outlook as the Pen E-P1 and this will be my very first film camera!

I got this camera body from Yahoo! auction and I have mounted the 28mm F3.5 lens on it for its first couple of films. With the OM-10, the lens can be 1:1 wide from it specification and I have turely check out the lens quality. (Rather than a X2 crop factor on E-P1)


I have had the first patch of the photos on 31st Dec and apparently I will need a lot more practise! XD

And on the New year Eve, I had some shots of up on the hill too.

But unfortunately, I have got the 28mm lens ruined and I have quickly replaced the lens with another 35-70 F4 zoom lens. The shopkeeper, whom I purchased the lens, was so nice and evn taught me a proper gesture to hold the camera at run time! I guess I will be going with this lens at the moment until I have more spare money before I get any new ones.

E-P1 X Hong Kong Island Tram

Not very often, I jump up onto one of these tram, just to go for a very short distance along the tracks.

Tram has been a very convenient mean to get around from the place I worked.
If I go for MTR, it will get so long the way I go from the ground floor to the platform, which is a few stairs and tunnels to go.
If I go for bus, it will usually be loaded and it is not a comfort to sit on there when I am already exhausted from work.
Mini buses are good, as long as it is close to full load and the bus go straight to the destination. But sometimes it will gang around until 16 seats are loaded and it may sometimes take 10-15mins!

So, Trams go very frequent. In winter, when the air is cool, it is usually easier for me to get on to the trams. The only thing against it is time. In a rush, not at all.
So occasionally when I get myself free, go by tram is very enjoyable. The air and space let my mind free and I just watch the people on the street ganging around like a slow motion film.
Ding-ding~~Ding-ding~~ time passes... Let's get off~~



By the way, let's do some PS~~haha

E-P1 X Star Ferry Pier

I have just got a great used OM 50mm F1.8 lens for my Pen!
I have been practising the manual focusing all day and night at them moment and would really liek to share some of my first outdoor pics taken by this MF lens.



(This wider shot was taken by the kit lens)

E-P1 X Lamma Island

Earlier in Oct, I have spent some moments with my dearest friends in this lovely place.
I have taken loads of picture as the pictures are like 5-6Mb each, I can just share with you a few of those pictures.
This place is really like a heaven as a relaxing resort. I am sure we will be visiting the place once for awhile to recharge ourselves from tiring work.

MotoGP 2009 - Sepang Circuit - Race day

23rd to 26th October 2009, these 4 days will never be forgotten in my life. I went to to Malaysia GP! WOW, what a amazing thing I have done this year and I do regard this as an archievement of my own!

And afterall, I have witnessed Rossi taking his 9th World Champion!
This experience will never be forgotten!



The sound from the Ducatis are so so loud that I though I will be deaf!


Thanks God I have made the move so I can get these close up pictures! Thanks to my E-P1 who have done a great job for me!

E-P1 X Macau

Last month, I have got myself a new toy, the Olympus E-P1 Camera. Its range-finder-camera outlook caught me up right the way. Last week, I have spend a couple of days visiting Macau and this is the first time the E-P1 is getting into its use.

Afterall, I am still a rookie at taking pictures.....
