Bamboo Scaffolding

July 4th, 2006

This might be a typical sight in Asia but not for a European. I saw this construction site when I was strolling through Hongkong. The whole scaffolding of the builing seems to be built of bamboo. Looks quite amazing to me. 

Camera tossing!

June 16th, 2006

I read about camera tossing just recently. Camera tossing - this means throwing your camera up into the air with a longer exposure (and self-timer on). The results might range from totally over- or underexposed shots to quite fascinating psychedelic shots with lights describing circles and curves.

There is a camera tossing blog and also a flickr group dedicated to this. I saw some pics from people throwing up their valuable Nikon D200s…. they have my respect for that. Guess I will try toying/tossing around with my more affordable point and shoot…
And here we go…. my first tossing photo! And I did not even need to risk my point and shoot! My (company) hand phone was good enough for this shot. ;-)

This one was taken indoors. I will give it a try during the next days outside in Hongkong.
