<wonglp> Traveling with my mirrorless pen


Ah....I miss somboon....yummy! Excellent pics!
 

#182 Victory monument


A 2 shots pano stitched. EM5+panasonic 7-14mm. No DIY holders to put ND filter to extend the time, so had to make do with F22, almost 60sec shot. Shot was rather soft, and slight overexpose on the right.



Thanks for viewing. That's about the amount of time I had for this bangkok trip. Will post more from recent trips soon.

Looks like you are still putting your Sirui T1005X to good use. Nice shot.

Thanks Daoyin! I sold it for a Sirui T-025 carbon fibre, smaller, shorter but lighter. Not as steady but certainly good enough for travel, importantly fits in my work backpack without anyone knowing ;)
 

Had a trip to Japan recently after almost 2 years, sharing some shots taken. Since I'm in Japan, I can't be too bothered with the food I eat, especially Sashimi!!!! Came in late at night, so had dinner with colleague at Numazu restaurant in Tokyo station. Few years back, I was working on a project in Numazu, a small but vibrant fishery port city in Shizuoka prefecture, I had chance to taste excellent fresh sashimi. So dinner here gave me great memories.

Woke up very early one morning to go to Tsukiji market, Tokyo to experience their Maguro (Tuna) auction. Tsukiji is a wholesale fish market and largest in the world that dates back to 1935. There are talks about moving this market into the Toyosu, Koto area in 2014 as it's occupying a rather prime location in Tokyo, so do visit here before it's gone. For more info about Tsukiji Market, see here.
Supposedly they will start registration at 5am ( or even before 5am if there's many people). Only limited to 120 pax, when I reached at 5am, it was already full, and it was on Friday morning...lesson learnt, shall go earlier next time! So went nearby market and took the sunrise. Wasn't fantastic sunrise, so just share some shots here. There's still alot to see and eat here as well.

Taken hiatus from my last post, heavy traveling for work and family holiday, will be sharing some shots from Korea - Mainly from Seoul & Jeju. Photography had reached a point that I actually carried more gear than I had with DSLR coz they are smaller than DSLR equivalent :confused: ;p.
EM5+7-14, 12-35, 45, 75 was what I brought. Also had my Ricoh GXR as a standby as well.

One shot to share on my first day at Seoul, took the earliest flight out of Sgp to try catch sunset as it was later this time of year. But unfortunately was caught in bad jam, so had to settle for blue hour instead. Shot was taken at 63 city observatory, costs 11,000 won ($12) to get there, place was empty, which was a good thing as I can plan where to put my cam to shoot through the glass window.

63 city blue hour, city and Hangang River


Shot taken with EM5+Panasonic 7-14 (2 shots exposure fused with photomatix). There are actually 27 bridges along Hangang River.

 

Looking forward to more pictures from you, bro
 

Looking forward to more pictures from you, bro

Thanks bro! Here's one taken on another day sunset, hope you like it.

Was trying to go to Seoul (formerly Namsan) Tower to catch some view, my colleague was very nice to send me to the carpark, however, there was like 200 steps before I could reach the top, and the sun was setting. Nonetheless, managed to catch a glimpse of it as I found a viewing point 3/4 way to the tower. Climbing up with full gear, laptop, tripod and seeing the sun setting is pure torture haha

Although the sun already set by the time I reached the viewing point, I was able to catch the bluehour. And it seems the bluehour is longer than what I experience in Singapore. So much so that the lights came on fully during the entire period, and I was able to capture.

Thanks for the kind words, I see you had a long trip in South America with m43, keep it coming too! Seeing more ppl sharing m43 and mirrorless experiences for traveling is great.

I admire your dedication to photography.

Thanks again Richard for encouraging words! Such words are what fuel my determination and my thread going:)

Thank you Justintime for the comments here and on flickr, appreciate your kind words ;)

Here's one not landscape, taken at the foot of Namsan Tower. Hope you like it too!

#188 Love is in the air

Taken with EM5+Olympus 75/1.8. ISO3200, at 1/20s. Still much details at this setting, had to take a few shots due to handshakes at this speed though as it was really dark, and I didn't want to go higher ISO.

#188 is really nice. Stunned to see the quality at 20s and iso3200. Is this quality produced by 75mm or EM5?

I don't think my EP3 is capable of this. :(

Hi, thanks Clanegie! I would say both. 75mm is really sharp even wide open, while EM5 hi ISO is at least a stop better than EP3. So EP3 ISO 1600 is somewhat similar to ISO 3200 or higher on EM5. EP3 is still an excellent camera. I missed the EP series aesthetics...
