Kayaking at Belle Isle Marsh

I joined a photo club activity at Belle Isle Marsh Reservation this weekend. Great experience and quite a bit exercise too, since it was quite windy. I heard there is bird watching opportunity so brought a 70-200mm with me, also my panasonic TZ5. I have never done kayak before but have experience with canoe and sail boat. Took a few minutes to get myself comfortable and then off I go.

sunset and moonrise

Yesterday was lunar calendar August, 15th(the mid-autumn festival). The moon was supposed to be the fullest. Unfortunately it was raining and cloudy all day. Today was another story, it was sunny in the afternoon and the temp was quite present. I walked to the Cambridge side late afternoon to take some moon rise pictures. Did some research online in advance regarding the moonrise time and the best spot to see the moon in this time of the year. Arrived at the Harvard bridge/memorial drive around 6:15pm. The timing was perfect as the moon was just coming out. Big and yellowish.

sunset with my cell phone camera

Amazing sunset this evening. Unfortunately I only had a cell phone camera with me. Should carry my TZ5 all the time. :(

又败家了

从local进了个二手85mm/f1.8。带hood和UVfilter$320. 纠结了半天，据说是人像利器，又想着以后拍wedding也许用的上就又败家了。拭目以待。

Worldwide photo walk-July18,2009

I participates the 2nd annual worldwide photo walk in my town.Our walk started inside the historic Boston Public Garden, the first botanical garden in the United States. We met at the "Make way for the ducklings" and then headed out to the state house to meet and photograph the civil war re-enactors of the 54th Massachusetts Glory Brigade( on 146th anniversary of their assault on Fort Wagner near Charleston, SC). I also strolled over the Boston common and public garden, the signature suspension bridge, the Swan Boats in the Lagoon, met Romeo and Juliet (the lagoon’s famous resident swan couple) and happy to see that Juliet is hatching 4 eggs.
