Ricoh Around the Globe - photos and details

[Nevin]

I've been going around town with the R10 in the past ten days, taking shots on different themes. Here come the set of photos, "Icons of Hong Kong", which paints a portrait of this city.











(Note: The dates shown are correct but the time is about 6 hours ahead of the shooting time. )

Great contribution, Nevin. Thank you for sharing. Your stories add to the photos nicely.
Although the windows on the first shot suggest it is some double-decker, the entire picture is quite confusing so it is hard to believe it is a tram. Perfect work.

Thank you Peter. I have to steal this from LittleBlackBox, "It's all luck" (or did someone here say this?).

Maybe the last shot is as confusing.

I guess you missed some photos? Shiro Kuro was somewhat busy to upload his photos so here they are:






As I hope, the camera should be on its way to Bangkok Only 6 stops to finish this long route!

Hello! I see that I'm next in the line... will only be back in Singapore on the 15th morning though. I guess that means the camera can stop at Thailand for a week plus?

 

[znailz]

still waiting for the camera... can't wait...

will let you guy know right away when camera is in my hand.

 

[odklizec]

I got a PM from Nevin that the camera shipment to znailz was somewhat delayed. But it should be already on its way. Let's hope it will be delivered soon

 

[znailz]

it's at post office.. will go get it and pay for the tax around 10USD somethings...

will let you guys know when it's in my hand.

 

[odklizec]

Great to hear that the camera arrived! And I'm sorry about the tax. This is exactly why I added a letter for customs. But it seems, the customs ignored it this time? At least it's very small amount

Where the concrete building meet the old wooden shop house.

Thanks for posting your photos and sending the camera! I hope you don't mind I edited your post with photos and uploaded all of them directly to post. I prefer to have all photos from journey stored locally

sure, no prob

My personal theme for my selection below is to take something "non-touristy", except for the night shot... Presenting to you a side of Singapore that's different from all the glam you will usually see.

 

[odklizec]

Thanks for posting your photos Jun! I heard a lot about Singapore fines But I also heard Singapore is one of the cleanest place on earth (I mean places with high population), which is in my opinion worth the draconic fines. I really don't understand why so many people around me are unable to use trash can or take away what their dog did in a public area? Few days ago, I went with Lucia to a public playground. Just to play a bit with ball. And guess what? After only 5 minutes of game, Lucia returned with BIG dog shit stuck on her pictorial ball. I believe you can imagine my anger for all irresponsible dog owners! :evil:

BTW, I can't believe we are only 4 stops from finishing this looooong journey! Can't wait to start next travel with another camera!

 

[dgilmour]

Can't wait to start next travel with another camera!

GXR A12 would be fine

 

[33dollars]

I think maybe a CX4 for the next camera & HD video submitions.
And don't light up your farts on the Queenstown platform unles you have $6500 SGD in your pocket. :lol:

 

[odklizec]

Yes, I thought about GXR, but it's a bit too heavy for this purpose. And there may even more problems with customs, because it actually looks expensive But who knows...maybe with 28mm module? We will see!

 

[rui fernandes]

Dog and other shit are an Universal problem. But I have to agree that if a strong fine policy is needed, just do it, because I'll have no problem with that!

Ok, count me in the next project, no matter the camera it's a great experience and fun! :mrgreen:

My photos. Subjects are a bit limited because I received the camera with only a few days to go before leaving for a month-long work trip, and didn't have much time to experiment or visit places just to take photos, so they are on morning and afternoon dog walks and at James Cook University in Townsville, where I work.
