Thanks william.olive for sorting this out. It looks like I've got a good 6+months before I get my go. Oh, well. I'll just have to sit tight.
Happy travels little Trip!

Let There Be More Light

Actually, after taking a second look at the itinerary, it should be going to patrickjoust next.

let there be more light has put up his hand for international postage.

Cassio is in hong kong, so I can just like give it by hand

Just let me know what needs to be done in terms of postage

Wow, i can just wait... .:D

Haven't gotten it yet, excited!@!@!@

Is it too late to withdraw? I told my parents and they had a fit about me giving out my address to strangers on the net, and how I won't have time to take photos since I need to concentrate on my studies...


I mean, I can give it to Cassio right when I get it, since we're both in Hong kong

That's a shame, Dr. P, but I guess you have to respect your parents' decision. Although I have to say I don't understand it...do they realise that you've only given your address to one stranger on the internet?

no. they went on this website and still l believe I gave it to you all

i might be able to convince them, I'll see

Well, it is on the way. You have about ten days to convince them.

Man, postage is pricey. UPS wanted $106.00 to ship. I ended up using the USPS as it was about half that amount.

As for the camera, it is lovely. I ran two rolls (one b&w and one colour,) and have yet to get the color roll developed. I will save my fourth post for something on that roll.

Man, postage is pricey. UPS wanted $106.00......

My experience is that US and Australian postage is the most expensive.

Australian delivery times are also long for some reason, unless you choose the high cost option.

Any news? :D

I would imagine him getting it early next week.

This is taking forever...

if I don't get it next week is there anything I can do? Call the post office to check it up or smth?



EDIT: Once I get it I'll notify u guys, then find C. Hui so I can immediately pass it on when I'm done.

The post office said it would be at least ten working days. It will be there next week.

i'l give the post office one more week before I call them (I dunno if you can too, but we can just call the post office with the address the parcel was supposedly sent to and they will check it up)

I tracked it, and it says it was delivered on Sept. 11th. I don't know if that means it was delivered to the Post system or to your house though. Do you think someone may have signed for it and not told you?

Does the parcel send directly to a person house?

Yes. I will call the post office for clarification.

Called up the Post Office.

It was delivered to the house on Sept. 11th.

She started a dispute with the Hong Kong Post Office, and they will provide proof of delivery. They have 24 days to provide the proof. :-(

Polaris, maybe you can call on your end. The customs tracking number is:

CP65 1972 284U S

Let me know if there is anything I can do on my end. It was insured for $75.00, but I think it will be hard to submit a claim if they said it was delivered. Maybe your parents have it?

bad news. I'm still willing to put forward a replacement Trip if necessary.

the house I put down was my grandparent's house. I've asked them, they said they don't have it, but I think my uncle (who lives with them) might have it. Problem is he's out of town, so I couldn't ask him. I'll tell my g-parents to search around the house.


it's in a box?

Yes. A Red, white, and blue United States Post Office box. I am surprised the box doesn't say "These Colors Don't Run" or "USA! USA!" all over it.

Us Americans are not known for our modesty.

I hope nothing happen to the parcel..... :(

So, what's the word Polaris? Did you ask your Uncle or Grandparents?

So, it has been 10 days that the Trip35 was delivered. I hope Polaris (Jesse) have sorted it out. How long will your uncle be out of town Jesse?

heyheyhey I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!


turns out it was already gotten like last last saturday, but in my uncles room.

(big **** box lol, plus massive amounts of bubble wrap :P)


after I'm done i'll get it to Cassio, who's in Hong Kong too!

Nice to hear that Jesse. Have fun shooting and post a picture of you with the big box here.
:-)

Let's get it continued. I'm eagerly waiting for my turn :)

lol I threw the box away

(@lettherebemorelight) there wasn't anything important on/in it, right? I just noticed lotsa bubble wrap :P

oh double post but I'm too lazy to edit..


I was thinking about taking some photos of the mid-autumn festival tonight, and it'll be dark as hell. I have a flash, so should I set my trip to f 2.8 and the flash will fire automatically?

Wah, i cant wait for my turn. I hope i got the camera before i am going back to my hometown.... :D

Nothing but foam and bubble wrap. I didn't want it to get destroyed in the post.

Have fun with it.

never actually used flash on my Trip, but yes it will fire automatically. Settings depend on your flash - if it's a purely manual flash you need to set the aperture according to the distance to your subject - there should be a table printed on the back of the flash. If the flash is auto, there will be one or two possible apertures you can use - again there should be information on the flash itself. Be aware that my experience of flash units is limited to 30-year-old models, more modern ones are likely to be very much more sophisticated...

Dr Polaris, you can get some tips from the Night Trip group.. :D

I hope I didn't mess it up. I just set my f stop to 2.8 cuz I was too lazy to look at the table in the dark..

You better shoot more then.... :D

ooh...lucky i wandered into this thread again by coincidence. please send me an email or something, in case i forget to pop in again. yes i am in hong kong, and yes i should have time to do this, as i'll be finishing my dissertation within a week.

film will have been developed by this friday.

sent cassio a private message

Ohh!!!!!

Its 8th of October now, hows the trip 35 doing? xD

i already contacted Cassio three days ago, and the news is that the only available time that I can pass the trip on is next week. It seems we live merely 20 minutes or so away from each other, so I will pass it on by hand.

I will post content on the PM if needed

Lol, small world. :)

Alright, it seems to be moving and i hope Cassio could drop a word here upon receive. Can't wait for it to arrive at Malaysia... xD

sorry, still haven't had a chance to get the camera off dr. polaris. my bad, but we've arranged to meet on monday afternoon.

and I will use my last B&W photo on this special occasion. I hope i don't mess it up. I'll bring my @#!!@# 4 megapixel digital camera in case xP

Successfully passed on today via the subway station!!

Great!!!! :D

Great stuff. Looking forward to the pics!

yea...got it. will finish my roll of film as soon as possible.

:D Whats the news... :D

ANyone?

nope..cassio?

apologies. seems like i'm absolutely rubbish at sticking to deadlines. i haven't had the chance to get the film developed yet, but i am ready to pass on the camera to the next guy...so akmalzaini, can i have you address? :P

Its okay, i am just afraid it got stucked or something... :D I'll inform Akmal to give you his address... ;D

I bet Cassio already have my address. Keep it rolling fellas!!

just checking, has the camera arrive safely? its been 2 weeks since i mailed it.

Not yet. The item just left Hong Kong for its destination on 18-Nov-2010.
That's what's written in the HK mail tracking and not yet available in the Malaysian mail tracking system. Let's wait for today since it's already Friday here in Malaysia then I'll give them a call next week.

man these things are slow! But I guess we need patience with a project like this

Hope everything will be alright... :D

hm...just checked the tracking website, it doesn't actually say where it is. bit surprising, since it IS air mail, not surface.

No worries, I will check with the Malaysian side tomorrow.

the camera is returned. can you confirm your address?

Uisshhh...let me ask Akmalzaini back... <___<

I'm sorry for the trouble. I will flickrmail Cassio for my address.

hm...as far as i can tell the address looks right...which is a bit annoying...

Well, to put a positive spin on this, it's all good stuff for the book!

ha, yes! The Trip is travelling further than we thought...

Perhaps, depending upon what the post office has to say, rather than re-send to akmalzaini, send to Kinoz first.

I agree with William. Maybe better to be sent to either Kinoz or Jusni first.

alright, Kinoz or Jusni, send me your address :P

I'll send mine then...

are we going to make some sorta book or anything out of this? Or maybe someone can assemble it on the computer and PDF it into a nice little online gallery/book.

would be nice :P

Yes, the plan is to make a book out of this. :D

got kinoz's address, will mail, probably monday

Got it. :)

Nice. Very Nice.

Well how will we get the book?

I think snap fish might be the way to go through flickr..upload them, agree the book format then each can get a password to it and order their own copy online? Just a suggestion?

Which one is better? Blubr or Snapfish?

Pleased with snapfish, not heard of results from blubr.?

I recently used Blurb for a book of the family holiday. The cover and binding options are great but the quality of the printing is not as good as I'd expect. I've had better from other companies. I'm still indiscussions with them to determine if this is a printing error or their standard quality.

If we had a solid, RL book, it'd feel much more real. Blubr looks nice, but with what harragan said, I have doubts :(

I think there's might be a problem with the printing, i haven't heard any complaint from my friend though. :D

Yeah, I've heard really good things about Blurb too, that's why I went with them. I imagine it's either a one off error or I'm too picky.

I've used blurb and not had any issues. I also know some [i]very[/i] picky photographers who've used them too

I have used Blurb for about 3 books now ... excellent quality every time !

hi all - where is the camera right now?

I'm not sure (from this comment whether or not Kinoz has received the camera yet - I suspect not

i still have it. (yes i said i'll mail it on monday...sorry i was rather busy...)

tracking RB059214315HK
