Biking & Photography

Just can't imagine time wait for no man! My last posting was in April. Am I losing interest in blogging? Or something else ? Actually I have collected and compiled some photos and information on biking, ready to be processed and published. But then with all the unplanned events cripping into your daily routines unexpectedly,biking (luckily just the blogging aspect) was put into the back burner.

Fortunatelly biking itself still continue till the onset of cold and wet winter during June. After nearly a month of staying indoor during July, we started to get back on the cycleway again. Nothing can beat the fresh air and freedom , especially crusing at nearly 40km/hour going downhill. What a feeling!

 In between I have been indulging in another hobby, venturing into the wonderful world of photography. After picking up a decent DSLR during the After-Boxing-Day sales, I have been working overtime to keep up with the Joneses. In between reading, learing and practising, I have also added a  new lens, close-up lens, filters and books into the stock. It is indeed very fortunate, at this digital age, that the prices of most SLR are quite affordable. The process of learning has been made easier without the use of films. There is no ending to what you want to spend on lenses, gadgets, books etc but I suppose we have to learn when enough is enough. As Harold Davis stated in his book :" Cameras don't take photos, people do." However we still should have the basic equipment in order to carry out the tasks satisfactorily.


Below are some of the shots taken over the last few months. More photos are on www.flickr.com/hohoho_2010
