Leica have updated their printed photo and camera specifications with the Sofort 2, an enhanced version of the Leica Sofort 1 which has proved such a resounding success. This new product has just come onto the market and looks set to offer camera consumers additional benefits for those who love instant printed photos. The love affair with instant prints took off in the 1970s and 1980s, and though the onset of the digital age seemed to push the instant print to the sidelines temporarily, the demand endures and this new hybrid model offers the advantage of combining both digital and analogue technology with greater flexibility.



<div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile"><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">
The Leica Sofort 2 enhanced features allow users to permanently save digital images and choose the best photos before making the plunge to print them. This facility is available for all photos taken on your smartphone as well those shot with other Leica cameras and stored in the Leica FOTOS App containing a gallery of shots. Sofort 2 weighs 320 grams and has a RGB colour filter, its file size is around 1.2MB and has an image output time of around 16 seconds.

The Peloton Bike+ has incorporated improved features allowing those keen to get in their full resistance and endurance training every opportunity to push themselves to the limit in style and without any hindrance.

The speakers are also of higher quality, such that the effect of these powerful built-in speakers is to make those engaged in heart-pumping activity feel closer to the action and the enhanced quality can cancel out all distractions, meaning the user is supremely focused on the activity class during sweaty workouts. In addition, an automatic resistance setting reduces the need to think about making correct settings and allows users to train stress-free.

Gafencu Magazine People Interview with Executive Director of Big Honor Entertainment Veronica Lam Hardbit Music

Big Honor Entertainment’s Veronica Lam’s creative spirit shines bright

Photography is an exquisite art form that &nbsp;captures and conveys some of the most significant moments in history that defy time even as they deliver powerful messages scores of which elicit hope and inspiration. &nbsp;On the occasion of World Photography Day, we reflect on some of history&#8217;s most iconic images in pop culture and style.

Dovima with Elephants photographed by Richard Avedon
A case in point is “Dovima with Elephants” photographed by Richard Avedon. In 1955, world-renowned model Dovima was photographed for Harper&#8217; Bazaar donning an evening dress by Dior at Cirque d’Hiver by established fashion photographer, Richard Avedon. The image was deemed iconic for moving high fashion photography outside the studio. It marked the end of a haute couture era in the mid-twentieth century and inspired the use of motion in fashion photography.

Marilyn Monroe in crystal-emblazoned dress
In May 1962, sex icon Marilyn Monroe bedazzled the democratic fundraiser and birthday salute to President John F. Kennedy in a sheer crystal-emblazoned dress as she walked on stage to sing&nbsp; “Happy Birthday, Mr President” to the 35th president of the United States. The dress was custom designed by Jean Louis as a dress that “only Marilyn Monroe could wear” for her unique rendition that became a timeless legacy of her charm and appeal. The iconic dress worn in the above photography by Cecil Stoughton, was sold at Julien Auctions in 2016 for US $4.8million.&nbsp;

The Beatles
Probably the most recognizable image in pop culture is the 1969, Abbey Road album cover of world-famous rock band, The Beatles. the cover art photographed by Lain Macmillan would be the last Beatles album to be released and become a popular fashion statement on its own. The iconic image paved the way for Tommy Nutter, the Welch designer who suited John, Paul and Ringo on the day, to tailor make suits for the likes of Jack Nicholson and Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman.&nbsp;

New York-based Tim Barber’s photography quite literally puts the ‘blue’ in ‘blueprint’ with his new solo exhibition. On display at the agnès b Galerie Boutique in Tsim Sha Tsui, Barber’s impressive collection merges the old school cyanotype printing technique – invented in the mid 19th century – with modern digital photography that ultimately produce images with an ethereal, almost otherworldly appeal.
The exhibition is part of French fashion label agnès b’s efforts to showcase the cohesive relationship between fashion and art, and to spotlight burgeoning talents from around the globe.
Drop by the agnès b Galerie Boutique at the K11 Art Mall from now until 6 January 2018 to see Barber’s cyan-toned “Blues” exhibition. Limited edition Artiste Tees and Barber’s photo book are also up for grabs.

World-renowned watchmaker, Vacheron Constantin, recently hosted the “An Invitation to Travel: Blue Hour, Hong Kong” Overseas Exhibition to celebrate its iconic Overseas watch collection. 
French photographer Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze scouted eight distinctive locations of Hong Kong and captured their unique beauty at the twilight hour of dusk. Whether it’s the illuminated skyline of the Victoria Harbour or the rural stilt houses of Tai O, the common destinations of the city reveal themselves in a new ‘blue’ light through Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze’s lenses. These photographs serve as a reference to Vacheron Constantin’s range of Overseas watches that are perfect for the modern jetsetter. 
Be it the Overseas Chronograph for the gentlemen or the Overseas Small Model for the ladies, the watches perfectly complement both formalwear and casualwear, thanks to their interchangeable straps. For the world traveller, the timepiece displays no less than 37 different time zones, including those that are offset by a half hour or quarter hour in relation to UTC time.
