旅行

病了,在家休養
睇舊相,以前歐遊其實影左一堆唔好睇既相
一來出JPEG, 二來SETTING 錯晒
呢一年去既旅行就好唔同
不過亦去少左好多地方
究竟變左既係我影相的方法,還是我旅行的方法呢?
想不清

沒講出的話

東邪西毒入面 因為張國榮冇同張曼玉講愛佢
張曼玉就同張國榮哥哥結婚
令到張國榮成個人變晒

講左先係真嗎?
唔講既就唔係真嗎?

講左既野同事實有什麼關係?
講左就冇左戲劇
冇戲劇
就冇就意思
有事實又點?

所以我最後都冇講到
我就係黃藥師

I am a sentimental person and my emotions are just like water.

A9

WITH a strong impulse I got the game-changing sony A9.

I have been taking still pictures for quite some time. Most are landscapes, nature and still objects. They are beautiful in my eyes.

Until I read a book from Christopher Doyle, who said he never did that because only a shot of human can give the emotion.

Actually, I did it and I felt the same. Using an A9 will not guarantee that I will shoot beautiful pictures, but it will help me achieve the goal.

Just that I probably waste a bit of my vintage lens collection. They should be fine with my A7Rii.

Let's see how it goes.

Typhoon

The strongest typhoon came today and it again showed the bad side of the city.

A bunch of psychopath would get outside and get the punches from the wind to test its power.

The buildings are not as stable as you think, so are the transportation. If today had been a ordinary weekday, the city would have been paralysed and the people panicked.

But people today stayed at their home and clicked "we are safe" in Facebook. They certainly need more educations.

Before the typhoon, the small shops escalated the price of tape and got a handsome profit. But if the window cannot stand the wind, the tape cannot too. So what concepts do the shops sell to the ordinary people?

Safety? Peace of mind?

Should we ask the people to pay more when the problem arrives?

I am clueless. But in the country which I adore so much when the calamity came, the shops discounted the food and even gave the food for the needed.

That is the difference.

Exposure

As there are tons of ideas that flow to my head when I am almost isolated. Let me talk about some incredibly boring topics concerning about my life in photography. I hope that, after you read this you can have some ideas as for how good (or bad) my concepts are, and how hopeless traditional photographers will be in the face of the modern technology. Put it simply, the enemy of the traditional photography is, of course, mobile phone.

Let us talk about the exposure. I got recently some people asked me how on earth the people can take those mind-blowing astrophotographic images. Gears are of course important but the other key factor that is often overlooked is the post-possessing. Hong Kong people have a tendency to explore the "truth-ness" in photos (which is surprising because they don't usually do that in most aspects). We, of course, want a photo to show the authenticity of the objects but in low-light environment we need skills.

Close illuminated objects depend on lights to be shown in the photos and the background starry night needed a long time to be captured. Also, you will need the mid-ground to set the background for the foreground, which also needs another exposure. Based on this, you already need 3 sets of images stacking together to gives a quality picture. That's why it will be difficult for a lazy person to take an amazing picture in the low-light environment. Investments in the post-possessing are, if not the most, important to give the best.

Until the smartphone comes into play. Now that the new iPhone is out, which enable users to adjust almost everything after they click the round white button. The camera will automatically take multiple pictures with different exposure to make sure you don't miss a thing. A lazy person can do a great thing now.

All they miss will be the hard work after a photo taken. Not so long we will not need any "traditional photography". 

Soon, however, we will miss something in photography.

一個人

子華神有個SHOW叫色情家庭 其實相當有心思
唔知佢講真定講假 但我覺得自己都代入到去
我本身就係一個笑話 其實將自己的事蹟做題材
都會有好多拍手位
起碼自己會拍手
去到最後 佢播左首歌
林子祥的一個人
八十年代香港歌 多有外國作曲 但廣東詞偏偏又極好
歌詞音韻如天衣 樂手技巧萬千 感情又真摰
香港 就係咁中西合壁

我好耐冇聽宜家所謂廣東歌
要聽只會聽舊歌
崇優 就係咁

如果廣東歌要復活
要養一班識字的
唔係一班識吹的
知冇?
