The end of my trip in Hong Kong coincided with the annual flower show so I decided to pay a visit, in particular to give my macro lens some use since I carried it half the planet over anyhow.

Canon 50mm f/1.4 Tests
First series of images after plugging new Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens onto the camera. Very happy that under room light setting, I am able to shoot at ISO 100, 1/90 seconds at f/1.4.
Review of the lens
After spending most of my time shooting with L lenses, the lack of color vibration is fairly prominent to me. The sharpness difference is also fairly pronounced in detail, but not that you can see it on Flickr anyhow. (most people don't view large)

Canon 580EX multi-strobe exploitation
I've had the Canon 580EX for a while now and I still haven't played with all its functions, so today I put on multistrobes to see what I can do with it:


Kinds of look like martial art movies... the hands.. that is. I don't think that I should be wearing a t-shirt for sure but I'm a bit shy. I am no April Greiman, who's been my hero since 1995 :)
