Das Meer am morgen

The Lamma channel, this is where all the big container ships come into HK, there is usually one every ten view minutes. It's one of the most frequented water channels of the world. Last year a juvenile Humpback Whale was sighted here, the first one in Hong Kong waters, they say it got lost on its way north.

The Never Ending Construction Site

Hong Kong must be the city with the highest crane per person quota. What are they building in Central?

A highway for more cars and a smoke stack for all the fumes that will come out of the cars. It's insane. I'm really wondering who in the government comes up with this crap. Traffic problems cannot be solved by building more roads.That's a fact, that has been proven by many other cities with traffic problems like Los Angeles or Mexico City. There is even scientific research for this. Every 10% increase in new roadways leads to a 9% increase in traffic within 4 years.

How to make a cable release shutter for your pinhole camera

You can make a cable release shutter for your pinhole camera with a few things you probably have lying around the house.
Using a cable release on your pinhole camera makes exposure times easier to control and also reduces vibrations when opening the shutter, so your pictures will be sharper. Now I only need to test if the whole thing is light-proof. :)

You will need:

-cutter and scissors 
-electrical tape, sello tape
-metal ruler
-super glue
-a piece of balsa wood ( I used some canvas stretcher I had at home, I guess you could use two popsicle sticks glued together and cut to the right size)
-an old floppy disc (the ones with metal are better)
-a cable release (I got mine on Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po for 5 HK$)

1. Cut the disc. Using the metal ruler cut the floppy disc. Cut through the plastic a few times on both sides then break off the lower part.

2. Next glue the piece of balsa wood on to the metal part with super glue. Align the balsa wood with the end of the sliding metal part.

3. Secure the wood with some tape.

4. Add the cable release Find the right position for the cable release and secure it with tape. Make sure it cannot move to the sides.

And that's it. I hope you like it!

Pinhole VI

Last Sunday we went to Tsing Yi. It was a really nice day with blue skies and all. We walked along the waterfront and to a container port where they unload the big container ships. People are really friendly in Tsing Yi!  I took some photos with my homemade pinhole camera and he took some with his great grandmother’s Agfa Isolette 3. My pictures all have a hair on them; I'm blaming my dog, of course.
