I’m still drooling…

The D300 and the 24-70mm, are both about 900g each. When you hold the camera, its heavy, but it appears to be very well balanced, which for the time being, I believe will promote balance = steady shots.

I’ll be taking this lens overseas on an 5 week holiday. You’ll hopefully see some nice photos soon. Nothing much interesting to take around my house.

Stay tuned….

Another Asia Destination - Planning

August 11th, 2008

Destination Hong Kong, Beijing, Phuket and then Japan!

Siu and I are hoping to spend about 4 to 5 weeks away, starting in Hong Kong for a friends wedding, then visiting a few places we both haven’t been to before.

Hopefully the 4 to 5 weeks will be long enough break, in effort to allow me to forget the daily grind of work. Don’t get me wrong, my job is good and satisfying but I need a break…. building your career is tough work. :/

This holiday, I’m particularly looking forward to:

  • spending time with Siu (awww ;)….)
  • buying more camre gear, namely the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 (drools….)
  • relaxing at a resort in Phuket (the sun… doing nothing….)
  • seeing Japan and their beautiful buildings, people and gardens (new lens hopefully put to good use….)

Planning wise, Siu and I are still looking for the best deals. We’re trying all kinds of combinations, including Hong Kong packages to Beijing, Phuket and Japan. Its tough work, but thankfully Siu can speak Canto ;)

This trip surprisingly times well with my work. Our major release of our flagship product isdue out for Release Candidate by October, which means all the big and nasty bugs will have been squished :)

That’s all for me now, have to get to bed early tonight for a company brief early tomorrow morning.
