Other than paying someone to make coffee for me, I also love to make coffee at home.
Back at Rocanini Coffee Roasters for a second time, and this time we shared a siphon coffee. Siphon is a vacuum coffee maker, the mechanics of it is quite simple, but the coffee resulted from this method is supposed to be rich, pure, smooth and crisp.
More local hanami photos, this time we were at Gary Point Park in Steveston. We were lucky that they are in full bloom all at once.
The cherry blossoms at Burrard Station has started blooming for almost a week now. They usually only last for about 10 days and with the rain forecast on the weekend, I wonder if the petals will fall sooner. Until then, let’s enjoy the blossoms!
With the recent purchase of the Lumix GF2, I now have 3 types of cameras I can use. DSLR for quality and abundance of accessories, Micro 4/3 for light weight and fully manual photography, and the iPhone 4 for the casual and leisure type photography. And with the iPhone, Camera+ is definitely a must have for better control of exposure, as well as adding effects like these to the otherwise plain-old-camera-phone photos. All these photos are taken using an iPhone 4 and uploaded directly from Camera+ after some effects and borders are added in the app.
The City of Richmond has a lot of cherry blossom trees, and it seems that a lot of them are already in full bloom. These photos were taken at the Lang Park, a small community park next to the Richmond Public Market.
More Lumix GF2 test shots. These were taken at Queen Elizabeth Park and using the kit lens (G 14mm f2.5).
