The trip was great. We stayed at a really nice resort. I managed to take over 800 photos during the trip. Here comes the work. Everytime I travel, I end up with a huge amount of photos. When I got back to HK, the work began. Sorting through the photos themselves take a long time. I wish keywording was automatic. Going through the 800-plus photos and tagging every one of them is a pain in the ass. Tagging alone takes a hell of a long time. I’ve been doing it pretty deligently. I really like the idea of tagging since I’ll be able to search through the photos really fast. I can isolate the one photo with a few keywords. I usually have to go through the photos at least twice just to tag. After tagging, I rate my photos. After rating, I have a series of picks which I then start edit. The process takes a long time. Photography is more than just shooting. You now have to go through the entire workflow yourself. The entire workflow is quite time-consuming. Sometimes, I wish someone could help me with all this. But at the end of the day when you manage to publish your photos, it is very rewarding.

I’ll be posting the photos from the trip soon. I’ve finally finished rating the photos and will be touching up the photos soon. Keep an eye on my flickr stream!

It was pretty much raining all day. There was no sun shine at all yesterday. I think almost everyone’s looking forward to some better weather especially with the record high pollution index over the weekend. Weather this morning didn’t look so good. There wasn’t much sun and it looks like it’s going to rain again today. You can hardly see Times Square from Wong Ngai Chung Gap Rd. We use to be able to see Kowloon from WNCG Rd…

Been playing around with it a little. They’re pretty good. Very decent lens for a very reasonable price. Anyway, there’s a pretty good review over at bythom.com. I was thinking about getting the 17-35mm lens. They’re slightly more expensive than the 18-70. Since I’m a beginner, I thought it would make more sense if I got something with a bit more flexibility. It didn’t hurt that the 18-70 were a bit cheaper than the 17-35.

The air quality where I live is actually one of the better ones, but the smog is still pretty thick. I was driving west on the eastern corridor and I wasn’t able to see IFC II while driving…

Check out these photos.
