Abstract goldfish
I took this photo a long time ago, but I recently took another look at it and realise that it might be a very nice wallpaper for your PC. This shot is actually shot under the purplish light of the aquarium in the fish shop. No exposure adjustments have been done and only some stray pieces of ...er floating stuff have been photoshopped out. So here it is. Try it! Fujifilm S2Pro, 50mm f/1.8

The REAL Hong Kong
This is a digital panorama -- stitched together from 4 shots, it covers a nearly 180-degree angle of view. Amazingly, even though it's only about 20minutes away from Hong Kong city, most people in Hong Kong never see this, and I guess it's these people who help to perpetuate the myth that Hong Kong is one big sprawling concrete jungle. In actual fact, so little of it is actually populated. Don't believe me? Check out Google Earth. As usual, Blogspot resizes this huge image into a small thing even when you click on it for a larger image.

Top of the world
This beautiful view can be seen right from the top of the hill that the farm is on. This is about 400metres or so above sea level. If you click on this picture and see the larger version, you'll see some terraces on the mountain in the distance -- according to my brother, the terraces are ancient, hewn into the mountain hundreds of years ago by farmers.

New Territories
Believe it or not, this is Hong Kong -- the mainland part of it anyway. Apparently only about 30% of Hong Kong is actually populated, and mostly near the coast on the islands and the mainland. My brother works at the animal rescue centre at the Kadoorie Farm & Botanical Gardens in the New Territories where it looks mostly like this. This is the day he decided to take me off-roading and hiking. Nikon D70, AF-S Nikkor 12-24mm f/4

Horse racing is a difficult sport to photograph, especially at night. The only way to even get any half-decent shots is to incorporate blur and movement into your composition. The shot here was taken by panning my camera to follow the horses as they passed by. Shot slightly cropped on the left for a more balanced composition. Nikon D70, AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED
Racetrack
This is the Hong Kong horse racing track -- the place is HUGE and a lot of races take place at night (usually on Wednesdays). Most impressive horse-racing track I've ever seen, but then this isn't too surprising considering that this is Hong Kong. There's nothing particularly nice about this shot -- it's just here to give a sense of scale to the race horse pictures. Nikon D70, AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED
