A photo of Ship Freakazoid's JVC Everio video camera with 54x Konica Minolta zoom lens on a Slik tripod was taken as SITC Hong Kong passed by. Like the camcorder and tripod, the Olympus E-520 DSLR camera used to photograph them was also purchased second hand at an amazingly cheap price. Maybe there are used cameras and accessories in some of those containers? Or, maybe not...

SITC vessels are a common sight in the Kanmon Straits of Japan. There sure are a lot of them! Many of their names start with SITC and then have the name of some port city (Hong Kong, Qinzhou, Tokyo, etc.) after. It's a good geography lesson for demented folks such as the Ship Freakazoid.
