Here are a few pictures: This is the first time I have tried to use tiny urls. I hope they work. 1. At Cheung Sha beach near our house a man and his dog were trying their luck at fishing late in the afternoon. They didn't catch anything while I was there. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/ FerrydogFmanWS.jpg.html> <http://tinyurl.com/2ukecq> 2. Another view of the fisherman. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/ FishermanCheungShaWS.jpg.html> <http://tinyurl.com/2jbdm5> 3. I took the ferry into Central to run some errands and noticed that the rickshaws which used to be for sale at the old Star ferry pier (now sadly demolished to make way for another shopping center and a bigger highway) are now lined up for sale at the replacement pier. Models like this have been on sale for several years. I suspect the sellers have a warehouse of them stashed away some where. Or perhaps no one ever buys one? <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hong+Kong+Pix/ RickshawSaleWS.jpg.html> <http://tinyurl.com/34e6zr> All pictures were shot in DNG and developed in Silky Pix according to my usual formula. A question - I noticed some dust spots on some of the pictures taken with the M8 in the last few days and I have used a blower to try and clean the sensor. I note by looking at today's pictures that I was not completely successful in removing all the dust particles. Any body have any experience with using some of the cleaning kits which are available. Thanks in advance for any advice. Cheers Howard (in Hong Kong)
