<p>Thank you Remco and Ton. As for my photography interests, I just like to compose compelling shots, wheather landscape, architecture or street-life. </p>

<p>Colleagues - we will be visiting the Netherlands for eight days in July. We will be based in Amsterdam, but can venture far and wide each day. I think I have the obvious covered, but would love some input on any particular gems you know of. (For example, a friend suggested the abandoned WWII bunkers at Heerenduin.) All suggestions welcomed. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I am currently using both the new iMac 7 quad core with the 256 solid state drive and 2TB hard drive along with a MacBook Air with 256 solid state drive. I just couldn't be happier with this set up. The solid state drives are great to base the applications on with the files stored on the hard drive. The MacBook Air is so much more convenient than my MacBook Pro, which now sits neglected. I can't comment on improving this set up with a NEC monitor, perhaps what I don't know is a good thing; however, I am certainly very pleased with the iMac monitor.</p>

<p>I love Hong Kong because it is so accessible. Go back and forth on the Star Ferry and simply take the escalator (longest outdoor escalator in the world) up the hill. Stop off at an English pub. Note the street markets next to the skyscrapers and the dilapidated apartment buildings next to modernity. Take in the scale of the vertical living - it is all around you. Besides the peak, street shooting is the call on both islands. The bamboo scaffolding is all around the city and pretty amazing to see up close. Don't take the trolley up to the peak - take a cab - it is not expensive at all and you avoid the lines. The bus tour on Hong Kong island is quick and you can see what you want to come back to. </p><div>

<p>For travel, I would definitely choose the 5dII over the 7d. The 7d is great for a lot of things, but the full frame sensor, well, just matters in travel photography. I do not agree with my colleagues above about the 24-105. I find the f/4 limitation a real problem when shooting in door shots in cathedrals and the like. I find a 3 lens pack with the 5dII of the 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200 (I carry the f/2.8 but the f/4 is a great, light and compact lens) with both of the range extenders (for the 70-200 only) works great for travel (but frankly I take even more gear...). Good luck.</p>

<p>Colleagues,<br>
I am traveling to the Heidelberg area for four days in mid-July and would love to be pointed in the right direction for photo opportunities. Thank you in advance for your input.<br>

<p>I was in Hong Kong last weekend for a quick trip. The scale of the vertical living in Hong Kong is difficult to describe. What struck me most about Hong Kong was the way modernity lives side-by-side with much older ways. From street markets abutting architectural masterpieces to new ships sailing next to 100 year old vessels, the contrast is remarkable. Below is one example - the erection of bamboo scaffolding with lashings (as opposed to steel with clasps). These grass matrixes cover the Hong Kong skyline and reach dozens of stories.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Thanksgiving everyone (in America). We drove up to Big Trees, California yesterday. This is one of the absolutely amazing things about California - you can drive from a nice Autumn day to the middle of Winter in under two hours. 1d Mark IV, 70-200mm L f/2.8.</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots this week of the fall colors. Because youth football is drawing towards an end, I thought I would post another shot from last week's Mud Bowl. Canon 1d Mark IV, 300 L f/2.8 at ISO 100, f/4.5 1/640.</p><div></div>

<p>Last Sunday was my 10 year old daughter's first horse show competition and she placed third in jumping - which was fantastic! One proud Daddy caught a moment of her joy with Canon 1d Mark IV, 200mm f/2.0L, 1/640 2.8.</p><div></div>
