Sensoji – Asakusa

These are some older photos I took during my first trip to Tokyo in 2003 October. It was a lot of fun. I met with friends of friends whom I have never met before and thanks to them, my first experience in Tokyo could not have been better.

Moonlight and Rainbow

Just thought I will post some photos I took a while back.  I haven’t done much with my camera in the past week mainly because I have been trying to pick up some reading and trying to catch up with my sleeping.

Vancouver Time Lapse

The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games are just around the corner.  We have another 10 days to prepare for the events and a few friends of mine are going to attend events.  Lucky folks!  If you are not from Vancouver and wonder what Vancouver looks like through the lens of some really great time lapse photography, here is a wonderful video I enjoy a lot.

This video is a collaboration of Innerlife Project and TimeLapseHD.  If you like the music by Innerlife Project, you can find it on iTunes as well.

My Camera Gear

Been using Canon Digital SLRs for a while now.  As a Canon user, I have always been Nikon-envy for some reason.  Maybe because I am just itchy to try more gadgets. But Canon Digital SLR cameras have been a very solid performer for us. So far, I have used 3 Canon Digital SLRs and the current model I use is the Rebel T1i/Kiss X3.
