WHY I LOVE TAKING PHOTOS?

Photography requires time and commitment to create an image that is perfect in your eyes. It highlights your skills and your ability to observe the world around you. Regardless of whether the outcome is positive or negative, the photographs you take reflect your artistic expression. Each picture is a masterpiece that is uniquely created by you.

Trip to Japan 2024

Japan is a true photography gem located in East Asia. With its stunning landscapes and modern city, it is undoubtedly one of the best cities to visit for a photo walk or travel experience.

Trip to Hiroshima, Fukuoka and Yufuin

My last trip to Japan was in 2025, nearly six months ago. This time, I'm traveling with friends. While traveling alone is always enjoyable, exploring with friends offers a unique and fun experience. It's also my first trip with my new Nikon Zf camera, which is much more engaging and enjoyable to use. Most importantly, its sleek design evokes the nostalgic vibe of a film camera.

半年ぶりに日本に旅行して、今回は友達と一緒に行った。一人で旅行して楽しいけど、友達と一緒だとまた違った楽しさがある。それに、この旅では初めてNikon Zfを持って行った。このカメラはとてもかっこいいし、使いやすいし、楽しくて素晴らしい!

Itsukushima Jinja

厳島神社

Miyajima was the highlight of this trip, a serene island near Hiroshima, renowned for its Hiroshima oysters and the iconic Itsukushima Shrine. The torii gate standing in the sea is a famous and breathtaking sight for both locals and foreigners. During low tide, visitors can walk close to the torii. 

今回の旅行の中で宮島は私の一番好きな場所と思う。広島のカキと厳島神社が世界的に有名だ。それから、海に立つ鳥居は非常に人気のある写真スポットで、干潮時には鳥居のそばを歩ける。

Dazaifu Tenmangu and
Yanagawa

Yanagawa and Dazaifu are small towns near Fukuoka City. Dazaifu is known for its Tenmangu Shrine, famous for bringing good luck in studies. The JR station and the street next to the shrine are filled with traditional Japanese culture. As a Japanese language student, I visited Dazaifu to pray for academic success. Yanagawa has a relaxing atmosphere. It's always fun to take the boat tour around the city and try the local specialty, steamed eel bowl.

柳川と太宰府は福岡市の近くにある小さな町だ。太宰府は学問の幸運で有名な天満宮で知られている。JR駅の隣に通りは、伝統的な日本の文化で一杯だよ。日本語を勉強してる僕は、学業の成功を祈るために太宰府を観光した。柳川はゆっくりして雰囲気があるんだ。ボートツアーに参加したり、地元の名物蒸し鰻重を食べてみたが、凄く美味しかった。

Trip to Kyushu: Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Aso, Dazaifu and Amakusa, May 2024

Kyushu is my favorite region to visit in Japan. It's just a three-hour flight from Hong Kong, and the airport is very close to the city center. What I find most remarkable is the convenience of traveling between cities by Shinkansen, along with a variety of sophisticated sightseeing trains. From north to south, each city has its own unique vibe, allowing visitors to explore and discover the beauty of Japan.

Trip to Kansai: Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Himeji, January 2024


The birthday trip to Kansai in late January, which includes serval places near Osaka. From Nara to Kobe. Each of the places has a unique vibe and architecture to capture. The gear I use this time is relativelylightweightt and small. Which makes me easier to handle in the winter when I wear heavy and clumsy clothes.

Trip to Japan 2023

Japan is a true photography gem located in East Asia. With its stunning landscapes and modern city, it is undoubtedly one of the best cities to visit for a photo walk or travel experience.

Trip to Tokyo and Lake Kawaguchi 2023

It has been three years since my last visit to Tokyo. This time, I brought along my new film camera, which I had purchased during my previous travel. Surprisingly, all my favourite shots were captured by this 50-year-old camera, instead of my digital one.

Hong Kong

Cityscape & dailylife

I enjoy exploring the city on my own during my free time. I love discovering new and interesting places or things that catch my eye. Lately, I have developed a fondness for visiting the islands of Hong Kong, such as Tai O and Pang Chau. It offers me a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and enjoy a more relaxed holiday atmosphere. The added bonus of encountering numerous stray cats on these islands is also a delightful experience.

Daily Life in Hong Kong

Hong Kong's subtropical climate enables a variety of animals to thrive, resulting in impressive biodiversity. I am particularly fascinated by the butterflies and invertebrates that inhabit the region. The diverse sizes, colors, and behaviors of these creatures are truly stunning. Even in this metropolitan area, we have the opportunity to observe a significant number of wildlife species.

Wild Life

SHOWCASE OF hong Kong wildlife

The wildlife in Hong Kong is truly amazing, ranging from beautiful butterflies to creepy spiders and majestic birds like the Egret and Red-whiskered bulbul. Thanks to the subtropical weather, Hong Kong is the perfect habitat for various insects. Additionally, its strategic location along migratory bird routes makes it an ideal destination for bird-watching and photography enthusiasts.

Trip to Europe

Old Memory from the past

All European countries have a rich historical background, evident in both their architecture and art history. Every scene in the city can be an impressive landscape photo or a work of art.

Travel to Demark, September 2019

The first time I travelled completely alone in my life. The trip included serval cities in Demark. From Copenhagen to Billund, a relaxing trip to 4 main cities. The highlight of the trip must be the Lego House, unlike Legoland, Lego House is a complete museum of Lego. From the history of the Lego company to how the single Lego block is made. All the knowledge of Lego is stored in the museum.

Another famous tourist spot would be the stunning and classy castles which are located in several places. The most memorable one should be the Rederiksborg Castle in Hillerød. The Golden room of the castle is extraordinary to see with my own eyes also the chapel of the castle, both are created a strong impact on my aesthetic experience.

Travel to England, January 2019

9-day trip to London, Bath, Cambridge and Brighton, a trip that kick-started my photography journey. I am used to having a DSLR, due to the bulky and heavy weight of the gear. I taking photos with my phone. However, the picture quality of the mobile phone is not comparable to the camera with dedicated lenses.

Especially on the trip, there are many times I need to have a longer focal length lens. The mobile phone can't produce the result of a compressed, shallow depth of view. Despite the limitation of the gear, there are still some nice photos throughout the trip. I can surely say that I will be there in the future for another photography-centred trip.
