Christmas came early at the Phipps' and this weekend I got my big present from MP.
This lovely lens brings my aperture from 3.5 down to 2.0 which makes shooting at night so much easier. It will also give the beautiful blurry, dreamy background which I love. Perfect for portraits!
Santa brought this one too.
Oh. My. Goodness. I can't wait to play with it. 18-200 mm increases zoom capability and will make shooting moving/action shots so much easier. This lens will most likely replace my current one. I can't wait for our trip to Malaysia to try it out!
My friend KC and I have been taking some photography workshops, so we spent some time Saturday evening geeking out on the Kowloon side and trying out our new skills.
There is still so much to learn, but it's been fun experimenting and taking about a million bad photos.
Dudley hated being my subject by the end of the day.
We had dinner with some of our friends at the China Club on Saturday night.
Bethany is moving back to Hong Kong! She's been working in Singapore and has decided coming back to HK is the best for both her and Sage. I couldn't be happier to have her back.
Here are a few shots from outside the China Club.
I hope you all had amazing weekends. It has actually been cold in HK (mid 40's!) Today we creeped back into the low 70s. Thank goodness! I have become such a wuss...

Lauren

I am super jealous all the sudden. Don't think Santa is bringing me anything half as cool. I can't believe you didn't tell me you were taking some photography classes! That is awesome. You have to teach me everything you have learned. Miss you- love you.
Have fun w/ those new lenses. Can't wait to see the new and even more improved pics. Merry Christmas to you and MP! Love y'all! ~ Klein
