---------------------------------------- Hello FlexersI was in Central Hong Kong (the high end shopping and business district)last week and had my G9 canon with me (the M8 is visiting the repair shop for a rangefinder adjustment). Here is a shot - a taxi on fire at the corner of Pedder Street and Queen's Road Central - that illustrates the old axiom that all you have to do is be there, f8.0, and take the picture. One impressive thing about Hong Kong is how fast the traffic police arrive when there is a problem. Five motorcycle cops were on the scene in about a minute - directing traffic and with a fire extinguisher.
