菊花茶

今早天氣寒冷,早餐后弄了一杯菊花茶,細看菊花的外形很吸引,於是拿了
tamron 來拍拍玩玩,由於是技術所限,拍微距真是有難度,如對焦、曝光、景深
等,真要好好的學習。

Small World

I went to Man Shing before going back old nest for dinner and by chance
I met JRPY2 and his 1st lady and girl. We exchanged phone calls around
lunch time and didn't arrange to meet. It's quite surprised to see them
by such slim chance.

And I bought a lens pen at HK$75. I was told (and by common sense) that
the profit margin is very very very very deep for these accessories.

Strange light

Flares have been haunting me for quite a while when taking pics at night
/ low light with bring light source. I have been wondering if it's a
lens problem, a dslr problem, or what. Then recently I found someone
discussing related (not the same) issue in dpreview.

Last night, I was taking some random shots again in YMT and saw the
green lights. I took some experiments and eventually took off the
filter. The strange lights disappeared... More experiments are needed
as I think inconvenient to take off the filter (well... many people
argue that filters are not needed at all, or in most situations). Some
suggested using lens hood (?) or smaller aperture, etc. Will try try.

Here are 2 samples. 1st one ("Killer_...") was with filter and the 2nd
one ("Killer2_...") without. Both taken using my D80, Nikon 35mm/2, B+W
filter.

京九直通車延誤1日後已抵港 乘客不滿車上沒有足夠食物
Sunday, January 27, 2008 1:26 PM


原訂昨日由北京抵港的T97班次京九直通車,下午約1時抵達紅磡,乘客乘坐40多小
時才到達香港。有乘客表示,昨晚車廂突然停電,車廂內一片漆黑,期間有廣播指
因電力問題令班次延誤。有乘客不滿,車上沒有足夠的食物提供,雖然有杯麵售賣
但無熱水供應,批評直通車對乘客的服務不足,但當時車內並沒有太多人鼓噪,不
過他表示,以後不會再乘直通車來往香港至北京。 但亦有乘客認為,雖然延遲到
達,可以令他們有更多時間看風景。

B/W

2008.01.26
I walked past a flower shop yesterday and took a quick pic. Then forgot
that my d80 was in b/w mode but didn't bother to take again. It's not
an interesting pic without color... :)

Wide zoom

For Tiger's consideration:

Here is a comparison of digital wide zooms for Nikon =>

http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/digital-wide-zooms/comparison.htm and
conclusion is that:
(1) just pick nikon if the budget allows (HK$6K+)
(2) choose tokina which is decent next (HK$3K+)

Note that both are for DX (i.e. not for full frame FX).

And then at the end of the article, the author mentioned that Canon
10-22mm is very good (HK$4K+). Worth taking a look =>

http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/1022.htm

Samples => http://pixel-peeper.com/lenses/?lens=12

Again, it's an EF-S though (not for full frame)
