    Kwun, if you are going to take pictures of motionless objects, then that camera is wasted on you:D

    Nice pics. It seems that you are using a tripod to do some shooting there?

    The boat pic: This one is shot at an eye click. The boat passed us quick. I saw its very bright and colourful flags flying under the sun. It was a magnificent view. I took out my NIKON :) quick, and point and shoot. When pressing the button, I had to make sure the flags were not overlapping each other. This is a one take shot and I dont have another chance.

    I like the flying flags; and the little rainbow at the top left corner of the pic.

    I thought there is one little imperfect here is that there is a little boat cut across in front of this boat, that disturb the whole beauty/figure of this boat.

    Oh, for taking motionless pic. I'd like to include, as far as possible, some moving objects behind.

    The Big Ben: there is an airplane flying. The Stonehenge: people are taking pictures (and this one, I have to make sure the one people dresses in white is standing clearly between the two stones).

    whoopty: I am just curious, do you intentionally set the pics. to this grey and almost nil colour dark tone?... (sort of pics in those thriller movies :) )

    I am sorry but what Cannon is that :)

    You can search for EXIF READER in google, but normally any software bundled with a digital camera reads the exif information. Check for "Properties" while viewing a picture.

    Oh Anatolii, I've almost missed your question ;)!

    You are right. They were taken at the Haw Par Villa. There were a few changes there but not the exhibits. The management has given up the idea of charging an entrance fee to revive attendance. Now you can go in for free. However there is a small charge for viewing the popular Chamber Torture scenes.

    And there is a new restaurant, tastefully renovated from one of the older buildings I believe and is very popular in the evenings, especially on weekends for promotion and birthday parties, etc.

    The following tableaux show scenes of the story "Journey to the West" and the Trails of Tang Seng, the monk. Spider spirits tried to tempt and accost Tang Seng with the aim of eating his flesh so that they could become immortal:

    Dave: thank you. I never care to install any of them, so I am quite ignorant of such available utilities.

    I just download and install the ExiF Reader. It is such a small and simple program. Thank you again.
