Last Thursday June 22nd was the day a lot of Hong Kongers have been waiting for. Let the good times roll. It’s been years since we have been able to have the Dragon Boat races. The last time I shot pictures of the race was probably 4 years ago and it was over cast. I had to boost my ISO in order to get a fast enough shutter speed. This time there was plenty of sun and the atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm.
Tracy and I had friends who came in from New Zealand and we scheduled to have breakfast with them in HangHau. It was good to reconnect with them, but I should have asked them to schedule it for another time. Still we managed to see the last Dragon Boat race. I traveled light this time. I brought my Panasonic TZ-60. It’s a pocket camera with an impressive 720mm zoom lens. Compared to my other cameras it feels like a toy but it takes decent pictures. Most of the people around me were shooting with smartphones.
