Sri Lankan girl

sri lankan girl 2

Little Sri Lankan girl pictured outside the hut in a village near Unawatuna where she lives with mum and elder sister. While the rest of our party checked out elder sister’s school work, this one played catch with me with a tennis ball – she had a powerful throw. Candidate for a future women’s cricket team?

Trampoline Fun

Granddaughter Lily taking a leap of faith at the Ryze Ultimate Trampoline Park in Hong Kong.

A test of the camera this one. In the relatively low light conditions, flash wasn’t an option because of the distance, so I racked up the ISO in order to freeze the movement. The Canon gets a bit twitched in these conditions so you need to take a few shots to get the right one. Overall, the grain level is reasonable.

The image is adjusted in Lightroom and cropped to about 1/3 of it’s original size – she nearly flew out of the side of the frame!

Lantau fisherman

Another shot of a fisherman, this one in a boat off Cheung Sha beach, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. I was testing out my new Canon G3X’s capabilities at full telephoto – 600mm equivalent – together with its image stabilisation. It passed!
