becky and ray

I was very worried a few days before the wedding of becky and ray last Friday. As you remembered, we had the 1st typhoon this year, and the weather forecast was very bad …. ….. rain with thunderstorm !!!!!!!!

And it was even worse that the wedding started at park island — a place where we could only go by either bus or ferry, no taxi, no private car. Just imagine how bad it can be with thunderstorm when we are getting off the bus with all the equipments and bags we have.

just giving you an idea of the things we (Canly and I) bring on a wedding day

So what happened finally? The wedding was full of blessing !!!!! Yes, we did have thunderstorm, but only when we ‘re indoor, during the ceremony, inside hotel or on shuttle bus. Whenever we ‘re outdoor at park island, at bethanie chapel , at park view hotel, the weather was so good and sunny !!!!!

Even though I prepared umbrella, rain coat, rain cover for my bags, we didn’t need to open them at all !!!

ceremony: bethanie chapel
reception: parkview hotel

Sun Rise today

In the wedding of Catherine & Stephen yesterday, there was an accident. It was so careless of me that I dropped my Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens to the ground from the top of a piano (I believe it was over 1 meter) . After that, I stopped using it in the banquet and I am afraid there may be problem in the optics.

The 1st thing I woke up this morning was putting up the lens and taking some test shot outside the window. It was 5:45 am in the morning, and the sun was rising in front of me … … What a beautiful view !!!

It seems that the lens is OK, but I ‘ll take it back to Canon for checking on Monday.

(update 27 June, 2006) Canon staff called me this morning, and told me everything is OK. Just need to replace the hotshoe of the flash.

Upgrade to Treo 650

My new PDA phoneI have been using my Sony TH55 PDA more than two years. I loved this PDA very much as it features a very large screen 320 x 480 and it ’s one of the biggest screen a PDA had two years ago. I have been thinking of using a PDA phone long time a ago, but the price is too high for me (usually over HK$4000)

Recently, the price of Treo 650 (from Palm) has gone down to just over HK$3,000 and I finally get one last week.

After just one week’s use, I love this PDA phone so much, the PDA and phone function are very well integrated and it is so easy sending SMS using the build-in keyboard.

My cameras eat storage !!

As the resolution of digital camera gets higher and higher, so does the size of those photos. On average, I shooted around 10-15 G of photos for each wedding. I found my Harddisk is getting almost full very soon.
