Wednesday 21st September 2005 02:30:00 PM Lions Education Center, Sai Kung[ 0 messages] General Despite the hot weather (34 degrees) I went to Lion Education Center, Sai Kung to make some experiment with my 70-300mm zoom lens. I would test if it was possible to make a nice background and a sharp object of a dragonfly and compare the photos with my photos made with the 200mm Macro lens. The zoom lens is more slow to make focus and the working distance is larger. The sharpness of the object will become almost the same as the 200mm, but not so crispy. The background is also different. I prefer the 200mm macro lens. I captured some small birds, dragonflies, flowers and a baby lizard. |
Friday 16th September 2005 02:45:00 PM Lions Nature Education Center[ 0 messages] General This noon I went to the forest nearby my home. The temperture was 33gr. and it is uphill to the forest. I had decided to walk on the trail to Lions Nature Education Center. On the way to center I captured 2 caterpillars and some spiders. The center looks great. A nice place to spend the time with a nice environment, flowers, trees and a big pond with some dragonflies. I arrived a little late and will soon visit the place again. (next time by car – there are parking from 9 am – 5 pm – Thursday closed). |

Tuesday 30th August 2005 01:00:00 PM Sai Kung East Country Park[ 0 messages] General To day I want to Sai Kung East Country Park area to explore the forest. The forest is young. Not many insects. It is waste of time to go there to get wildlife photos. I got a photo of some caterpillars, ants and some flowers. It seems the only place in Hong Kong for wildlife photos is Tai Po Kau with it’s old forest and lot of different species of insects. On the map you can see the trail. |
Saturday 27th August 2005 01:45:00 PM My backyard[ 0 messages] General From the program Google Earth I maked a study of my backyard the big peninsula south of Sai Kung. I would like to see the view from the top (only about 100m above see level) and to explore the forest. It's only 10 minutes walk from my home, but it's up-hill. The forest was much different from the forest in Tai Po. It's younger and the vegitation is low. I only went half the way on the long peninsula as I spent a lot of time on some big Woodland Spiders. At the south-end of the peninsula you wil find some big nice beaches which can only be reached on foot or by boat. |

Monday 27th June 2005 01:15:00 PM Hollywood Rd area[ 0 messages] General I went to the streets in the Hollywood Rd area to shoot buildings and streetlife. On my way back home I got some close-up of my favorite car Rolls Royce. Buying a second hand RR i HK is cheap. The disadvange driving the car is - it's too long and wide, must park it on lorry bays because it's too long for an ordinary bay. The old models have no parking censor behind and some no electric side-mirror. I will try to shoot more classic cars from the streets in HK. |
Friday 17th June 2005 08:30:32 PM Tai Po Kau[ 0 messages] General After some days with heavy rain, the weather cleared up. The forest was still very wet and muddy. It was hard to find insects, but I got some butterflies, beetles, spiders, a dragonfly and caterpillars. |

Den store Sort-gule sommerfugl, hvis navn jeg ikke kan finde, sad også højt oppe i et træ. Den er sjælden og findes kun i Tai Po Kau og Fung Yuen sommmerfuglereservatet. Den flyver lynhurtigt og er ikke meget for at sidde model. |

Dagen i dag var lidt tam. En enkelt sommerfugl, en larve og en edderkop + en del bier, der havde travlt med at bestøve bananblomsterne. En sommerfugl af de små deltog også i bestøvningen af en bananblomst. Opdateringer: Bier, insekter, larver, sommerfugle og vildeblomster. |

Thursday 17th March 2005 01:50:06 PM Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve[ 0 messages] General Skoven er farlig! Lige ankommet og taget billeder af Honningfugle, går jeg videre. Lidt længere fremme, stopper jeg op p.g.a lyden fra en hvæsende brille-slange. Den så mig først og er 20cm fra mine ben, den vender rundt og viser sin udspilede hals, mens den langsomt glider mod dalen. Jeg blev så forskrækket, at jeg ikke kunne nå at fotografere den. |

Sunday 16th January 2005 12:52:00 PM Shatin Center[ 0 messages] General Vi går meget tit forbi 1000 Budda Monastery og ser de 2 tårne, men et er 16 år siden vi har været der. Der var sket mange forandringer, budda-figurer på begge sider af stien hele vejen op og ned. Fantastisk. Der var figurer overalt. Navnet er efter de mange små buddaer inde i templet. I Shatin Centret blev det til nogle billeder af Snoopy World og et par hurtige fra Centret med Opera børn. |
