Another hike

 

Date: 24 April 2011

Venue: Long Ke

 

I can’t believe I went to Long Ke twice shortly!  With different people and even happier!  This time no Nikon D90, only a Ricoh!  I’ve got tons of pictures so I am only posting group pictures :D

 

Group photo after getting off the mini van, before actually hiking.

 

Another group photo in the summit of the hills :D  Look at the back of us!  So many mountains!!!!!  So beautiful!!!!

 

After we’ve made it to the beautiful beach!  Not quite a group photo… but still interesting!

And girls only :)  A few girls anyway!

Yeah!  Had to keep on hiking!

After we got to the dam.

 

While we were waiting for the taxis to come, and the sun was setting… so got a few shots, taken by Po :D

 

How look at breathtaking the view was!  I love Hong Kong!

 

In the end… I am looking sooooooo dark! (picture taken before dinner in a seafood restaurant!)

I love to be dark :D

Butterflies!

 

Date: 3 April 2011

Venue: Fung Yuen, New Territories

 

Our photography class activity was to go to Fung Yuen!  I went to Fung Yuen last year in June (but I didn’t post any pictures on my blog!!) so you can say that I am ‘experienced’ this time than the last!  Here we go!

   

There are quite some species.  See those butterflies mating?  Haha amazing!

 

The butterflies were looking directly at me!  Quite human, no?  Actually I think they looked more like aliens…

 

I remember on my first shooting butterflies, Ricky asked me to shoot in manual mode.  I didn’t even know how to focus using my 200mm lens.  This time I am well prepared and being soberly alert when I see them.  Hah, I’ve got better pictures this time!  I think I’ve got a good eye.

 

You see many of the leaf-coloured butterfly on the left.  Camouflage.  The picture on the right is one of my favourite this time.

Now this is a rare species.  It’s got tails!  You find them in Asia.

This is another very human-like butterfly…

And we’ve got ugly dragonfly and a cicada!

My butterflies are very beautiful, yeah!
