Again some "dry" lunch story..... There's a cafe called "Main St. Cafe" near my office. Their lunch set menu has curry rice, pizza, pasta, hot dogs and so on. With price 48 HKD, they serve Today's soup, Fruits(or Salad) and main dish. Plus, if you add 10 HKD on lunch set menu, you can enjoy coffee, or tea, or maybe some soft drinks. Tastes okay, not specially delicious, not specially bad.........

Near by office, there is one area in where lots of restaurants locate, which is called SanLiTun(三里屯). In fact, Sanlitun is famous for drinking place in Bejing, China. Usually I go to this area often with colleagues. Today when we have been to one of those restaurants, Green Thai, I tried WB500 shooting. Hope you can feel the mood through these photos. Ah, the food is so so.... to me. I know much..

Seating on Sushi bar..... It seemed that there was one more Sushi bar futher insdie. Well, this is a typcial sushi bar. Though they have the system of circulating plate, most of customers make orders food from the menu directly, rather than picking up from the circulation belt. Looks empty a bit.... This was "salmon and sea urchin" combinatino Sushi maybe? Very orange color..... hm. I like the f..

집에서 멀지 않은 곳에 상하이 츠판(ChiFan정도로 광동어 발음) 과 또우쟝(한국식 두유 쯤)을 파는 유명한 곳이 있다. 가끔 아침 식사용으로 츠판과 또우쟝을 세트로 구매하여 맛있게 먹고는 함. 상세 위치는 아래 지도 참조. 망치 표시 있는 곳. [사진, 그림을 클릭하면 큰 사이즈로 볼 수 있음] 오전 시간에 가게 앞에 카메라 들이되기 뭐해서, 살짝쿵 옆에서 들어가기 전에 한 컷. 민첩한 WB550으로 살짝. 18 HKD을 내면 아래와 같이 츠판과 또우쟝을 담아준다. 비닐 봉지 안에 또우쟝이 담긴 컵을 깔고, 그 위에 츠판을 쌓아주시는 패키지. WB550 촬영 여기서부터는 D700 + 50.4 렌즈 조합. 봉지에서 꺼냈다. 대략 이런 느낌. 츠판이라는 것이 한국 분들이 쉽게 이해하시려면, 아침에 후딱 ..

Being continued WB550 testing and playing.... About once or twice per month, I have Vietnamese Noodle for lunch. Near my company, there is one restaurant of OK level taste. The location is like this : * Please see the star mark in the middle of map. The name is 滋米館. In English they seem to use just Vietnamese Restaurant. What a bored name! During lunch hour, really many people go to eat. You had..

There are dozen of Korean Restaurants in HK, I guess. Generally speaking, the price of food is not cheap. If you just came from Korea, you may think the price is far expensive than Korea. Anyhow, I often go to one of those restaurants, which is Sorabol (新羅寶, 서라벌) locates in Causeway Bay.

홍콩 영사관에 분향소가 설치되었다는 것을 월요일인가 알았습니다. 가봐야지 가봐야지 하면서 회사 업무 시간에 움직인다는 것이 참 쉽지 않았고, 시간은 흘러가고 있었지요. 그러던 중 저와 비슷한 연배이신 L과장님께서 오늘 아니면 정말 못 가겠다 하시며, 오후 시간 잠시 다녀오자 했지요. 더욱이 다행히도 L차장님께서도 흔쾌히 승락해주시어 서둘러 택시에 올랐습니다. 2009년 5월 27일(수) 홍콩의 오전 날씨는 우기(雨期)의 비가 그쳐 공기가 사뭇 깨끗해졌습니다. 시야거리도 좋고, 구름도 낮게 깔리고..... 오랫만에 괜찮은 홍콩의 City View를 연출하고 있더랬죠. 그런데 택시에 오르니, 비가 부슬 부슬 다시 내립니다. 이것 참, 기분이 다시 가라앉습니다. 사무실에서 홍콩 한국 영사관까지는 멀지 않은 거..

Nothing special..... When I came back from TKO to Wanchai office today, I took some movie clip sample with WB550. Since it was taken in taxi, and at that moment the taxi was moving fast, my hand couldn't be stable enough to fix the angle...... [Route that taxi moved while I was taking the video sample. Click, if you want to see this as bigger picture] - Too slow! Not easy to upload Movie Clip....

Thanks to M, I came to find one good restaurant nearby SOGO Department Store Causeway Bay. Under the dark circumstance, WB550 could manage to produce "not-bad" quality. As you can see, most of pictures' ISO is pretty high. I took all these photos in Dual IS mode, which prevent 'hand-blurring' at maximum scale. Also I did set 'Auto-White-Balance' to all pictures. First of all, the restaurant loca..
