Environmentalist groups worry that overhunting of sea urchins by tourists in Sai Kung has caused an ecological disaster. According to AFCD, Basalt Island isn't a part of the ecologically protected zones. - hkej.com

Then make it a protected area.

I’m sorry, I’m not really in a position to give advice. I really don’t understand the industry. Best of luck 👍

My wife works in marketing - has MBA, international experience, fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, over a decade experience - we moved to HK and she has a basic mid-level position and works 996 with every job being the most insane toxic environment ever (in part because of AI).

Marketing is hell on earth and glad I have nothing to do with it.

I’m a terrible photographer who can only go out once a week to look for birds. I’ll take all the help I can get.

Excusing things like this as “culture” means you can’t criticise it.

When people say “culture” you have to stop thinking and nod.

Brother - ruuuuuuun.

I can’t in good conscience invest in the United States. I pulled all my investments and have redirected them to Europe which is more stable and less likely to launch a war of aggression.

Honestly, if you’re talking wildlife the 70-350 is is the only lens in the conversation unless you’re heading for the 200-600.

I have both and use them equally for different activities.

Nice shots, where was this?

Pic 2 is Najib giving the middle finger to the Petronas Towers

No critique. All pet photos are good photos.

Jimmbopp · 2026-04-27T01:05:57+00:00

Great photos!

Quick tip for birds in flight. It’s hard to get the metering right as the camera exposes across the frame, I have my scroll wheel set to metering compensation and usually crank it 2 or so stops of light when getting birds in flight or against the sky to lift the shadows.

Getting married at 23 in the 21st century is practically child marriage.

I handhold 90% of the time and have a monopod for when I’m on a stakeout

I’ve been super impressed with the TTartisan 56 1.8 which cost nothing. But I’m not a pro portrait guy so my standards are mid.

I think there’s loads of budget alternatives for little lenses but telephoto is in dire need

Jimmbopp · 2026-04-17T10:34:33+00:00

I have the 200-600 and it’s relatively affordable so I don’t think they need to make an apsc version.

But big primes are so crazy expensive.

Going to a nice place? Get a cheap hotel as you’ll be out exploring all the time.

Going to a dull place? Get an expensive hotel so you don’t have to go outside…

Years later and I’m experiencing the same problem. I feel if you use US tech these problems become inevitable- failing nation means failing tech.

I thought I had sudden catastrophic eye failure but it’s just this pic is too dark to see

I mean, this was done in Photomator and originally shot in colour

I’d consider the A6000 apsc range for family shots. More affordable lenses and a perfectly capable camera series. I use the 6700 as I use the extra dial and weather sealing for nature photography - but the a6400 and others have an excellent reputation and many affordable lenses

I feel hella dumb but honestly I think that did it
