Nothing’s better than a long weekend with a holiday name after my car. Edward’s garden, dinner@ Lok Siu Yiu See Fong Choi, and experimental flower bed to see if Steph and I can actually keep some flowers/plants alive.

One of the best things you get out of a trip to Japan is, of course, the food. Since we traveled to some of the smaller cities this time, less sightseeing means more time to eat. Sorry no time to label the food in the pics but if you want to know where it is or the experience please just send me or Steph a email. Best time to view these pics is after a meal or when you are full!

Just came back from a 3+ week long vacation to Hong Kong and Japan. The trip is pretty much split in half with about 12 days in HK and 12 in Japan. We went to mainly the northeast part of Japan this time with some 3 or 4 days in each of Tokyo and Kyoto. Like any vacation it was not enough! I am still using Lightroom for photo editing and this time I am trying this other JAlbum skin as the one I used to use (SimpleViewer) started to limit number of photos you can put in an album (for those without license)! Also, this time I’ve added caption as some complained my photos were too boring… hope you will enjoy it more this time!

Congrats to Rita and Kenneth! They should now be on their honeymoon not knowing their wedding pics are now on Facebook… This concluded all 3 weddings that I attended in this special Sept 2009. With this wedding I found that a zoom lense is still the best choice for shooting events, only if they can make it smaller!

This is a month with 3 weddings for me. Kicked off with this BEAUTIFUL wedding downtown near CNE at a place called Palais Royale. Congrats Sara and Eddie! A friend in the group was kind enough to offer me his 24-70L lense from Canon to try. So the pics from the ceremony was shot with that lense! Looks great! Thanks Bennett!

Please click on the photo below to be directed to the newly posted Switzerland photos. Again, edited with Adobe LightRoom 2 and that’s it. I actually have spent only 1.5 hours on picking and editing these Switzerland photos! Maybe I can do this for Steph’s 2000+ pics … or maybe not…

Back from my Paris and Switzerland trip. I probably have lots to blog about my trip but let’s focus on these Paris photos I have just finished processing. Recommended by Jason, I used Adobe Lightroom 2 this time to edit my photos and boy, it definitely is one of the best tool I have used for photo editing! Although it keeps crashing once in a while but the important thing is :- it’s fast, it keeps all the edited info when it crashes (phew…), it does all the basic editing functions very well, and hence, it’s a one-stop editing tool. My 11-16mm easily becomes my lens of choice for this trip as it provides such crisp and amazingly sharp images — one of the most important element when it comes to wide-angle shooting. I think there is a need for me to get a substitute for my 17-85 as I find it not sharp enough these days… probably the 24-70 from Canon. Will see. Please feel free to leave me any comments for these pics! (Please click on the pic below, it will link you to the album)

I find Toronto has quite a lot of these ’self-promoting’ events which, they try to promote the city but eventually the quality of these events aren’t really up to the level. This one is a night out with free contemporary art displayed all over downtown Toronto. Without much expectation, I wasn’t surprised to find there really isn’t that many good exhibits. Having said that there is the Gardiner Museum with free admission that night (actually not sure if it’s free usually) and surprisingly there are some interesting stuff there. Of course, another reason I went is to check out the performance of my new 11-16 lens which I quite like. Please drop by my Flickr page to take a look.
