The dragon boat festival is long over, but team members from Hong Kong Police Dragon Boat Club (香港警察龍舟會 PDBC) have been practicing ever more vigorously at Tolo Harbour.
Pictured are two medium-sized dragon boats 富利龍 (Fù lì lóng, lit. rich and easy dragon) and 五週年會長紀念龍 (5th Anniversary Commemorate boat for President) racing each other during the weekends.
As I last wrote, I have tried to do videography for them but I do not currently have a tripod head which can do fluid pan action so instead I shot some stills trying to do a stop-motion flick, but it did not come out as nicely as I wanted to — but stay tuned.

A gang of boys in black shorts carried a long row boat towards the Shing Mun River (城門河) in Shatin (沙田) for their summer of fun at the Shatin Rowing Centre (沙田賽艇中心) in Hong Kong.
I came here originally to work on some panorama but since I am carrying loads of deadweight anyway, I brought the 7D + 100-400 with me also — and besides walking into these kids, some asian waterbirds also grace their presence in this ridiculously hot afternoon.
Upon closer inspection on other captures from the same day, it would appear that they are from the 嶺大划艇 Lingnan University Rowing Team [1].

Here is a super close-up look of the changing of the guards against the red facade at the main shrine. The honor guards seen here are from the Air Force, as depicted by the badge on their jacket (空軍儀隊).
The heavy 100-400 saw its first (and only) use for the entire trip. I have to think hard every time I pack when I travel, mostly because of the dead weight, but then every now and then I am so glad that I did bring it along. So these days it’s a keeper unless I envision that I will be trekking long distances.
Photographed with the Canon EOS 7D + Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM. Processed in Lightroom 5.

The best time to photograph photographers is where there are rallies. I wonder if it may be too hot to keep a beard in Hong Kong. Good posture, nice shirt.

f/8 at night! Seriously. Clearly for the Canon EOS 6D—impossible is nothing! I can’t wait til the 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L arrives. I ordered it last week so I should get it any day now.

A tattoo convention—the first of its kind—was recently held in Hong Kong. Tattoo is traditionally much of a taboo in Chinese culture, so I went to check it out.
This image captures the spirit of the event best. Unlike many conventions which have sales people talking non-stop, this convention is mostly silent, with men (and women) lying down patiently waiting for skilled tattooist to needle ink onto their skin while the artists patiently wait for the work to proceed while layers of skin heals over the entirety of the day.
Most of the photographs I have taken from this day was made possible mostly because of the excellent low-light high ISO performance of the 6D combined with the super 100-400 which allows me to photograph people from afar without alerting their attention.
The event was held at the InnoCentre in Kowloon Tong from October 4-6, 2013. www.hktattoocon.com/

A man jogs on the blue jogging trail at the Ma On Shan Promenade in the morning while an old lady walks behind him.
Although I have a huge problem with most of the color choices that the Hong Kong Government makes regarding most of their architecture, I absolutely love the color for this path against the greens around it.

In Turkey, oil wresting is a totally legit sport between men. The rules are simple:
1 2
3 4
1. Get oiled up with lots of olive oil.
2. What happened after you got properly oiled up.
3. Wrestling in oil.
4. What it looks like when you have won.
It seems that Turkey is much of a destination for this year’s world tour. Yes indeed. SML needs to go and do some sports photography once in a while.

Photo by request. Chinese men playing basketball at night. Panorama stitched using 18 7D RAW handheld capture. Thus seams are not perfect and people are seen with their body chopped off, some even have body doubles. But what was requested is depicted. You can always crop out what you want to have a perfect photo. This beats posting 18 boring image on my stream.

The 7D is back from the shop (3,000 HKD for main board switching after water damage—ouch!). The first thing I tested is to see how far the 400mm can reach from the aerial view peering down from the 27th floor.
Pretty far it seems.

Ernie: Hey look there are some red stripes which matches my shirt, let’s go and take some photos!
Bert: Oh you are right it does, but did you know that it actually means something.
Ernie: Really? What does it mean?
Bert: It is an equal sign. It stands for equality—marriage equality to be exact.
Ernie: Marriage equality? I thought that everyone can get married as long as they love each other.
Bert: Well, apparently not—some gay people in America cannot because some people think that it is not sanctioned by religions.
Ernie: That makes no sense! We should support it! We have been married for so long. We should show them what love is like!

A man running on red tracks in black shorts and cyan sneakers.
I had originally not wanted to post this because it was shot without a model release. But it is a perfect collage of forms + human forms. So what the heck—if he happened upon my Flickr stream the worse is that he would ask me to put it down for good. Not a big problem.
Maybe what I should do in the future is find a runner who can sign me a model release but I honestly do not know where to find people to do TFCD in Hong Kong.

Every weekend, crew teams from different universities practice at Tolo Harbour. Pictured is the team from The University of Hong Kong (HKU 香港大學), noted by its abbreviation 港大 seen on the tank top of of of its crew members. According to their Facebook page [1], the club has been around since 1981.
I am particularly drawn to the delicate lines of the boats as well as the patterns each cox makes on the water surface.
I have attempted multiple times to capture them on video but it is fairly hard with my current setup. The 7D combined with the 100-400mm gives a combined equivalent focal length of 640mm on the zoomed-out side. This means any minute movement will result in camera shake.
At the moment I do not have any geared head and anyone with a ball head knows that getting precise positioning in a quick action shot is not really doable. I guess I will just have to get closer to the surface — but by the time I reach the ground floor they are usually gone. Tricky business.

There’s a lot of running in soccer. I don’t really play sports—not that I don’t want to but maybe no one would play with me because I am not very “athletic” so to speak.
What I liked was the pair of running between two teams in the foreground together with the pair of two teams in the background.

Teenagers playing a game of football (soccer) on the hard-surface football pitch adjacent to a primary school located inside a public housing estate in Hong Kong.
As I mentioned previously, “standard” architecture in Hong Kong follow recognizable design patterns. Locals will be able to tell that the blue building the background is a school immediately based on how it looks [1].
Sport and recreation facilities are usually surrounded green fence. They do usually cause quite a bit of problem for my photography, but luckily there is a pedestrian footbridge right next to the soccer pitch—thus you see they are not only good for traffic but photography as well.
This is the same place where I took a photo for my abstract photography with the G12 last year [2].
This is a handheld panorama stitched together using 9 full resolution 7D RAW captures. Shot handheld. The keen viewer will note that the cars are completely chopped off and hanging in midair although their imperfection is shielded by the fences—so in some ways they might be good for some things? :)

Using his full body as thrust, a man covered in wet suit rows a long thin boat at Tolo Harbour in Hong Kong.
Gorgeous forms -<- — also love the bright colors. I wish that I can wear that on the street and not get weird looks. This looks like fun. I might go and exercise a bit.
As usual, these were taken right outside my window. Crazy things do happen all the time. You just have to be swift at it so the rapid-fire action of the 7D is key here. I have enough stills from photographing him to make a stop-motion movie, which I shall post in the future.

A man in his 40s running along the red tracks at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground in Hong Kong.
Look at those thighs! I have always thought that Chinese have good thigh jeans. It does not take much exercise to get them into shape. So when they are actually exercised thoroughly they get very interesting.

A sailor in “crackerjack” white uniform salutes to crew members boarding the ship while another enlisted sailor chats with another sailor named Callen in “Navy Working Uniform”—a camouflage which is digitally printed in multiple colors. According to Wikipedia, this should be the Navy Type III MARPAT [1].
The Crackerjacks—so nicknamed because of the Navy-uniformed figure that adorns the Cracker Jack snack box—are my all-time favorite uniforms worn by military units. Most probably because they feature bell-bottom cuts—a cut of pants which is closed to impossible for me to buy anywhere and I used to custom tailor them for myself—as many of my friends in New York knows.
It is for this same reason why I love the clothes designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier [2], a fashion designer based in France who has had a long history of designing outfits which bears many naval uniform influences.

Two runners run side by side at the “You Can Shine 馬拉松新丁育成訓練計劃,” a weekly meetup intended for new comers to get familiarise with marathon runs (aka 長跑 long run in Chinese). It takes place every Thursday at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground at 7pm [1]. A lot of these runners wear shirts with 香港長跑網 longrun.hk logos, a community online for people who enjoy marathons [2].
Taken with the 6D + 100-400 at 12800 ISO — my new walk around setup at night. Processed as BW because grains are more forgiving then color noise for some reasons…

(ABHK B-Reel)
At first I did not notice the humanoid in red jeans with a scruffy beard. I was all too focused on the installation hanging from the ceiling made with mirrors and wires.
But the sculpture was small—so small that I moved closed enough to examine further. But then within my wide angle lens came a pretty face who asked if I am interested in the work.
There is quite a bit of charm in finding a well-dressed, good-looking, soft-spoken, and intellectual cuteness within all the insanity at an art fair. I supposed this is why girls love going to galleries?
I never exchanged contact information with him. But as you can see, I do know where he works now, so it should not be too hard for me to locate him in the future. Perhaps when I am in Denmark for vacation I will give him a hola — after all, they do show truly brilliant works.

The National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine (國民革命忠烈祠) is considered a must-see attraction for visitors to Taiwan. It was built to honor the 390,000 Chinese soldiers killed during the Xinhai Revolution, Northern Expedition, Second Sino-Japanese War, Chinese Civil War, and the First and Second Taiwan Strait Crises.
The ceremonial changing of the guards, seen here, occurs every hour. The military officers stand still until they are replaced in the next hour.
Photographed with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 17-40 f/L USM. Processed in Lightroom 5.

An extreme close-up of the camouflaged naval officer courtesy of the 100-400.
His carbine is loaded, but I am not sure why it was taped together with masking tape. At 400mm, I noted that he is married, as a silver wedding ring is on his left hand holding the massive gun.
Interestingly I note that his pants are either button-flied or ripped. If you look at full resolution you can see the torn stitches so I think that they are ripped. I do like these boots though. Note that the ties are completely concealed inside. Also, apparently the US Navy uses Motorola radios.
Photographed at ISO 12800 + 400mm: and you see why this recent purchase was a very sound decision indeed. It really is great for photojournalism uses.

A man paddles his kayak leisurely at Tolo Harbour in Hong Kong.
Aside from his funny wetsuit which reads “I am very very slow,” I was drawn to the variety of water forms made by his paddle—from the “swoosh” on his left to the tiny droplet splashes on his right. Then of course there is a calm reflection on the water as well as the rather calm sea surface.

An off-duty US Marine hangs out with another marine named Hurst (as seen on his jacket) near some air duct (venting system?) on the USS Peleliu.
Nearly every single man who is sitting by these openings at the ship is using either a cell phone or a computer. Could it be that they have no coverage in international waters? Or perhaps they cannot really check personal messages until they are near navy ports like Hong Kong?
For some shots I could even see what they have on their computer monitors—mostly white screens—clearly reception is an issue everywhere you go, and for sure the freegovwifi in Hong Kong is unusable. Good luck—go get a 3G card next time you are in town!

Every popular tourist destination comes with at least one or two living statues. Almost all are covered in paint from head to toe. I cannot imagine what a hard life it must be to support one’s living this way, especially at this weather.
Photographed near No.2 Wharf, Circular Quay, Sydney Australia with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L.

The 嶺大划艇 Lingnan University Rowing Team took their boat out from storage towards the docks to train for a university championship to be held on the next day.
When these boys walk towards me, I would have guessed that they were much younger. But then I noticed the sign on the boat, which reads “Lingnan University,” that’s when I realised that they were in fact university students in Hong Kong.
As they became aware of the camera, a few managed to make the defacto hand-sign in Asia—V for Victory. Personally I would have wished that they would just go about their own business, but I suppose it is very hard to not notice a giant telephoto lens pointing at them from just a few meters away…

A tattoo-laden US Navy officer at the crew boarding security checkpoint tried to figure out what that giant scope was pointing at him—obviously, it was my lens, which is longer than some of the machine guns employed at the military.
His colleague on the other hand was too busy fiddling with his phone to notice me. Meanwhile, the security team from Hong Kong just gave me blank stares the whole time I was photographing them.
Nice tattoos! Interesting socks also—a bit unusual for this weather. Pants are a bit too short for my taste—though I suppose it is more practical to wear pants which do not go all the way to the ground for combat purposes.
He is very far away—this is a 400mm / ISO 12800 shot.

To promote the “bachelor seasons,” it appears that the sexy retro model is now replaced with boring preppy kids. Now it looks almost like either. J.Crew wedding or some Princeton pre-frosh orientation camp. Wtf.
Is Bonobos “bending” to the status quo to appeal to the “unfashionably straight men” market? Oh BonobosNinjas, you just lost a brownie point in my “cool kids crowd.” Hopefully I will see better spams from you in the coming months as otherwise trust that I will unsubscribe soon.

Here is a wider view of the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter on the deck of the USS Peleliu (LHA-5) while it docked in Hong Kong. It was rainy when I shot these but even through the fog you can make out the skyline of Hong Kong across the Victoria Harbour.
A US Navy officer holding a large carbine is armed and patrolling on deck. I do not know the exactly what type of firearms he carrying, so please comment below if you do. Visually it looks like an Mk 18 Mod 0 CQBR (CQB assault rifle, 5.56x45mm NATO) to me, which according to Wikipedia is currently in use by the Force Reconnaissance|USMC Force Recon, and Coast Guard, US NAVY SEALS) so he might be a US Navy Seal then [1].
A fox insignia is seen on the exterior shell of the helicopter. If my research is correct, this should be the Purple Foxes HMM-364 which is stationed at MCAS Camp Pendleton, CA. [2, 3]

Never let who you are limit what you can do. I honestly believe that anyone can accomplish anything in life if they have the will to do it.
Pictured are two runners seen at the Ma On Shan Promenade after they have finished their run and are walking home. One of the men is visually impaired. But he is able to run outside with the help of a guide runner. A cotton rope binds their hands together, thus allowing the visually impaired athlete to be able to run out in open air.
I have never seen anything like this before. Hong Kong is awesome. And very accessible. Crazyisgood. SML Love.
