Congratulations to NParks on their latest photobook, Celebrating Our City in Nature: Singapore Garden Photographer of the Year!

The photos were chosen from more than 32,000 entries in the last two Photography of the Year competitions. They capture the natural beauty of our green spaces and landscapes, and the diversity of the flora and fauna, and people, that co-exist within our small island.

I hope this book will inspire you to take the time to discover and enjoy the lush greenery and rich biodiversity around us, and help to preserve it for future generations. You can buy the book at the Gardens Shops in the Singapore Botanic Gardens or from their online shop in the link below. – LHL

另一個里程碑 - Timelapse 國際獎項 (English following)

今次葡萄牙之旅，主要是出席在塞新布拉舉行第四屆的Finisterra影展，幸運地，我的縮時影片 "Seen By My Eyes, Hong Kong" 也獲得了4個獎項 - 1st prize of Mountain Tourism , 2nd prize of the Best Timelapse, 2nd prize of Places in History 及 3rd prize of Nature and Wild，最令我喜出望外的就是1st prize of Mountain Tourism，證明了香港的山景不遜色於外地。
老實説，在香港我還沒試過以個人名義勝出過任何跟攝影有關的比賽，今次獲得這些國際獎項，除了證明自己的能力，還認識了來自不同國家的導演、攝影師、縮時攝影家等，都是精英中的精英，大家都在交流不同的資訊、技巧等，實在叫人興奮！

致此，要感謝啓發我拍攝縮時影片的Bevan Percival

蘇大師父的電軌改裝，以及家人、女友及各方好友一直的支持，銘記於心！

Another milestone - Timelapse International Awards

The main objective of my Portgual trip is to attend the 4th Finisterra Arrábida Film Art & Tourism Festival. It’s very lucky that my timelapse video “Seen By My Eyes, Hong Kong” has achieved 4 international awards, 1st prize of Mountain Tourism , 2nd prize of the Best Timelapse, 2nd prize of Places in History and 3rd prize of Nature and Wild, I do feel surprised and unexpected for winning the 1st prize of Mountain Tourism, it proofs the natural and mountain scenes of Hong Kong is not worse then the other countries. Frankly, I haven’t won in any competitions related to photography in my own name before in Hong Kong. For winning in this international competition as this award is a recognition of my ability and achievement in filming and photography. More than that, I have known many film directors, photographers and timelapser from different countries. All of them are elites in the field. We have shared our experience and exchanged information in the ceremony. That’s definitely exciting and unforgettable!

In the end, I would like to give a big applause to the following people, Bevan Percival who inspires me to start the project of this timelapse; photographic equipment supported by, Canon HK, GitzoHK and Skyler; mountaineering apparel supported by, Columbia; my father’s help in modifying the motorized slider; and I would like to express my deepest graditude to my dear family, my girlfriend and all my friends, for their continued support and guidance to me. Thank you!

大家好，我來自馬來西亞
在艱難的2020年，我透過留學的方式來到了紐西蘭拍攝
為了完成這組作品，記錄下最原始純凈的中土世界自然風光
我花了10個月時間實現新西蘭南北島自駕大縱走，超過32000公里的旅程
Hello everyone, I am Yap Hui Phong from Malaysia.
In 2020, I filmed a video by studying abroad in New Zealand.
In order to complete these works, I recorded the most primitive and pure nature of New Zealand.
It took me 10 months to realize a self-driving trip across the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The total mileage exceeds 32,000 kilometers.

從北島的塔拉那基山，到南阿爾卑斯山的最高峰庫克山
從東海岸廣袤無垠的坎特伯雷平原，到西海岸郁郁蔥蔥的冰川雨林
我背著30公斤的器材上到高山之巔等待日出的到來
也在同一地點蹲守數日，只為等待落霞與孤鶩齊飛的一刻
我迷戀於波瀾壯闊的太平洋，也驚嘆世界上最大的星空保護區下的萬點繁星
我曾在38℃的炎熱高溫下熱淚盈眶，也在-12℃的刺骨寒風中瑟瑟发抖
From Mount Taranaki on the North Island to Mount Cook, the highest peak of the Southern Alps.
From the vast Canterbury Plain on the east coast to the lush and glacier rainforest on the west coast.
I carried 30 kilograms of equipment to the top of the mountains to wait for the sunrise.
Staying at the same place for a few days, just to wait for the moment when the sunset and the lonely bird fly together.
I am obsessed with the magnificent Pacific Ocean. And also marvel at the view of stars under the world's largest International Dark Sky Reserve.
I used to have tears in my eyes under the hot temperature of 38℃, and also shivered in the freezing wind of -12℃.

奔山赴海，只為心中的熱愛
無所畏懼，只因那不屈的執念
忘了有多少個夜晚，我癡癡地守候在三腳架前，等著將滿眼的星河燦爛一點點寫入相機裡
拍攝照片超過20萬張，不斷購買硬碟用以儲存檔案，經過1000多個小時的後期制作，最終精簡成這12TB的素材
也忘了有多少個夜晚，我伏案電腦前，一次次調整修改照片的每一個細節，常常不知不覺中发現窗外天色已微亮
I can go over the mountain and across the sea, just because I love and enjoying in filming.
I am fearless, just because of the unyielding obsession.
Forgot how many nights there were. I was waiting in front of the tripod to write the entire galaxy into the camera bit by bit.
I keep buying hard drives to store the files. I have took more than 200,000 photos and post-production more than 1,000 hours.
Finally reduced to this 12TB material.
I also forgot how many nights there were. I seat in front of my computer adjusting every details of the photo again and again. And often unconsciously find that the sky outside the window is slightly bright.

為了新西蘭最能代表春天的魯冰花，拍攝到完整的四季
我再一次申請延長留在新西蘭的簽證，守候蒂卡波湖畔半個月，只為捕捉到魯冰花盛開的那一刻
為了捕捉螢火蟲的美，我深入與世隔絕的深山洞穴，雙腳浸泡在溪流中三天才拍出想要的畫面，在這三天里都與螢火蟲為伴
In order to be able to capture the Lupins which represent the spring of New Zealand, and also to film the complete four seasons of New Zealand.
I applied for an extension of my visa once again to stay in New Zealand. And waiting by the Lake Tekapo for half a month, just to capture the moment when the Lupins bloom.
In order to capture the beauty of Glowworm, I went deep into the cave in the isolated mountain. My feet were soaked in the stream for three days before I took the picture I wanted.

而這部作品也成功獲得了8KRAW攝影大賽 第一名
在全世界最頂尖的團隊所辦的比賽，我很幸運拿到了夢寐以求的獎項
還要感謝精研國際 呂文元導演一直大力支持我的計劃
得到精研國際的支持讓我設備，技術大幅升級得以製作出高規格的作品
這也讓我更加堅定追求心中的熱愛，繼續去追逐我的夢想與創作
Fortunately, the film also successfully won the first place in the 8KRAW photography contest.
In the competitions held by the best teams in the world, I was lucky to have won the coveted award.
I also want to thank Director Wen-yuan, Lu of HD.CLUB CO., LTD for supporting my plan.
With the support of HD.CLUB CO., LTD, my equipment and technology have been greatly upgraded to produce high-standard works.
This also makes me more determined to pursue what I love and continue to work hard on my dreams and creations.
