Olympus E-5 CONTENTSAPRIL 2011 TRADE TALK 16 Japan: The Crisis 34 and the Myths First it was the unfortunate events of 9/11, which was then followed by the terrorist rampage on 26/11, and now there is a new date that has been etched into the minds of the world, 11/3. A date, which will soon be remembered in history as one of the worst in the history of human civiliza- tion. But while the world still recuper- ates from this crisis, not many have realised its ripple effect, which was already put into effect the moment these unfortunate incidents unfolded. SHOOT MY CITY 23 Hong Kong A trip to Hong Kong on work meant that one didn’t get much time to see the usual attractions. But if you are a photographer, you’re bound to enjoy 23 the sights and sounds this bustling me- tropolis offers, as you walk down the crowded streets. PRO-PROFILE 34 Eric Guth Eric Guth’s job is the stuff that most dreams are made of. It might not have always been such a charmed job, but now he gets paid to travel on a cruise to exotic locations and spend time do- ing what he is most passionate about, photography. On one of his cruise ex- peditions he discovered what he likes to photograph the most – ICE. And it’s been a non-stop journey since. SPECIAL FEATURE 44 Destination: Photo Paradise! 44 With summer approaching, it is time to consider great holiday spots. And naturally, catering to all the photog- raphy enthusiasts out there, we spoke to photographers who have done their fair bit of travelling, to get their recommendations of the best locales which will appeal to both the vaca- CONTENTS tioner and photographer in you. TIPS AND TECHS 58 Creating Kaleidoscope Effect Kaleidoscopes are apparatuses that create optical illusions. Inside is a circle of mirrors and they contain loose, coloured objects such as beads or pebbles or bits of glass. So, in this Photoshop experiment, we thought of having some fun with previously taken images, creating illusory effects with them, the kind one gets to see inside a kaleidoscope! 62 When Nature Calls! Wildlife Photography is one of pho- tography’s favourite genres and is arguably the most popular amongst enthusiasts. Explore the world around you and the ‘wild things’ you can shoot. 68 Say Cheese! It’s Summer! It is the month of April and I feel nos- talgic writing this, as my mind drifts back to all those times when one was in school and the summer holidays had just begun. Needless to say, if you’re reading this, you’d probably be thinking the same thing - that the photographs from those holidays are the only and the most tangible memories you have of those times. 62 LENS REVIEW CAMERA REVIEW 80 Tamron 18-270mm 84 Olympus E-5 Looking at how technology has evolved F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Tamron’s new lens, the 18-270mm in the last two decades, we realise that F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD, comes at a a clear point of professional deliver- time when the market is choc-a-bloc ance in terms of desirable innovations with DSLRs that have broken new has been established.

APRIL 2011 [6] ASIAN PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGING The Letter of the month will receive a gift from Uniross back Dear Editor, I am a keen photo enthusiast and have been closely reading your wonderful magazine for the last three years. What I seem to like is the quality of the photographs and the write-ups, which are of consistently high standard and every issue of the magazine always demonstrates a few tips which sharpen skill. March 2011 copy made an excellent read. The Pro- Profile of BPS Walia - “The Industrial Paradise” brought up the topic in a very effective manner. It was heartening to see bland industrial objects being captured so very well, bringing out the sheer scale and magnitude of the subjects. I particularly liked the double spread (evening shot of the gas chimney, with the magical sky in the background). In another picture, the snaking pipeline snap is very well composed. The unduly terrain makes it all the more interesting. Readers’ Comments and Suggestions... Feed Kudos to BPS Walia, for being such a polished craftsman with his lens. This story on his accomplishments and photographic journey will surely inspire a lot of budding industrial photographers. Please carry more such articles covering “niche” areas. We get to see a freshness of approach and technique. Keep up the good work. Regards Manoj Kumar, Gurgaon Dear Manoj, Thanks a lot for your comments and I am happy to know that you enjoy reading our magazine. What you mentioned about BPS Walia is indeed true. His excellent work and experience over the years have been an inspiration to many in the industry and his work is only getting better and better. We will keep your comments in mind and continue to bring fresh perspectives to our readers. APRIL 2011 [8] ASIAN PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGING BLOGEYE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM 011. Earthquakes. Revolutions.

    Tourists' perceptions of food trucks in Asia: a Hong Kong case study Author Kwek, Anna, Lee, Derrick Published 2020 Book Title Tourism in Asian Cities Version Submitted Manuscript (SM) DOI https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429264801-13 Copyright Statement © 2020 Taylor & Francis. This is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge in Tourism in Asian Cities on 18 December 2020, available online: https:// doi.org/10.4324/9780429264801-13 Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/402481 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Chapter 10 TOURISTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF FOOD TRUCKS IN ASIA: A HONG KONG CASE STUDY Derrick Lee, C.H. and Anna Kwek Introduction Rapid urbanisation worldwide has seen city planners acknowledge the economic, social and cultural importance of creating sustainable, vibrant and inclusive communities through food. Public spaces that include food are most appealing and attract people to urban landscape. Reflecting the intangible cultural heritage of a destination, consuming local food is an authentic experience for tourists, providing a link between food, place and tourism (Privitera and Nesci 2015). Researchers have found that satisfying food tourism experiences can boost tourists’ overall perception of a destination (Smith and Xiao 2008). As a result, local food has regularly been used by governments to promote their cities. Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) believes that the diversity of the city’s international cuisines has become a major competitive advantage (Enright and Newton 2005). The gastronomic image of Hong Kong is enhanced by food festivals, competition such as the Best of the Best Culinary Awards, and trade shows.

MASTER THESIS Carolien Potter HASSELT UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE AND ARTS 2014 - 2015 Supervisor: Dr. Katelijn Quartier Tutor: Philippe Swartenbroux PREFACE The first words of my thesis I would like to dedicate to those who have supported me during the project, even when I was 10.000 kilometres away from them. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Katelijn Quartier for her honest advise and feed- back throughout the research project. Secondly I would like to thank Philippe Swartenbroux, for the nu- merous tutorials, clever suggestions and motivating inspirations. Many thanks for letting me see that the solution was often right in front of me. Furthermore I would like to thank everyone who made it possible for me to go to Hong Kong in the first place, as well as my friends who showed me the city and the outlying island, as if I were a local. Also many thanks to those who helped me make my trip abroad a whole new experience. And last but not least I want to thank particularly my boyfriend Domien, for the love and patience during the project, as well as my friends and family for their encouragements and support when I needed it the most.

    1 Comparison and Recommendations for Low-Cost Digital Video Recorders in Early Intervention and Early Care and Development By Larry Edelman Permission is granted to share this document in whole, but not part. Please reference as: Edelman, L. (2011). Comparison and recommendations for low-cost digital video recorders. Published by author, Denver, Colorado. For information contact [email protected] Which low-cost digital video recorders are best for use in professional development, technical assistance, supervision, coaching, and service delivery activities? There are many good choices and new brands and models appear very frequently and current models are updated or discontinued all the time. The model that will be best for you depends on your purposes for using video and the features that you need or want. The chart below might help you get an idea of which features are most important to you. Features to Why These Features Might Matter Consider Format Decide if you want/need SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition). HD has a better image but also much larger file sizes. Video compression Find out what video format the camcorders record in and if that format suits your needs for your end product, editing, posting, and playing. Not all formats work equally well on PCs and Macs. And not all formats can be imported into the video editing software that you like to use; you may need to transcode file formats or choose a different editing application. The most common formats lately seem to include .MP4 and .mov, and lees often .avi. Record in different Some camcorders just have one setting.

At Haroo Korean Homestyle Cuisine 26 , numerous banchan (Korean side dishes) complement staples like kimchi fried rice and buchimgae (fried pancakes).
