Shek O

 

Date: 15 May 2011

Venue: Shek O

 

Photography class.  We went to Shek O while it was drizzling.  Luckily the rain stopped a while after.

 

We were exercising with the shutter speed with the wave.  Here are what I’ve got:

Shek O is a famous place for barbequing.  Actually I’ve been there for quite some times yet I haven’t been to the other side of the island, where there were full of rocks and there was even a nice little bridge.

 

Later I learned that it is a very famous spot for wedding pictures.  I can’t imaging myself taking my own wedding pictures there but… well, obviously it isn’t or others.

The rocks were crazily slippery.  I almost felt, my right knee got a huge bruise but well, I got lucky and didn’t fall of course.  But the picture taken on the right was quite worth it!

This actually is one of my favourite picture of the day :)

Bun Festival

 

Date: 10 May 2011

Venue: Cheung Chau

 

In May I was invited by Anna to attend the annual Bun Festival - she lives in Cheung Chau!  It made things so much easier for me.  I stayed a night at her house and went to work together with her the next day!

We were almost steamed alive… too hot, too sunny, but it was good for the buns!

Anna lives close to the main street, where the parade was to go on.  We picked a bad spot because we got all the sun on us.  Anna said “oh it was wrong calculation!” It certainly was!

Poor kids had to stand a few hours on a stick of metal.  I can understand why some of them were looking upset or grumpy or emotionless.  These 2 little kids were perfect actors, they were professionals!

There were quite some interesting things to see.

Bad photos, but I tried my best.

Anna and I had a walk along the coast.  It was really nice and on our way back to her house, we ate some hot and freshly made buns!

Before, during the contest and after - the perfect view at Anna’s balcony.

While the contest was going on, the other bun “trees” were being cleaned up.
