Dreaming of the Kyoto and Osaka Sun Tour 2

Osaka and Kyoto 550
  • most Japanese we met can speak some English. Some of them spoke fluent English but most of them were just OK
  • I used to think if Japanese can speak better English then it would be a perfect country for tour, but then Japan may not be Japan anymore.
  • maps were common in public area and were helpful.
  • 見到Giordano and 澳門安德烈葡tat分店;Giordano還賣著詹瑞文的tee.
  • 在大阪城遇到修業旅行中的小學生,有一個男孩見到我們後不斷大聲問我們同一條問題。我猜他想問我們從哪裡來吧?於是我回答他Hong Kong,不知道他聽懂了沒有?
  • 寺廟/神社有形形式式的參拜方法,同一寺廟/神社內可拍手祈願、摸神像祈願、打鑼祈願、把願望寫在紙上然後投入箱內、把不幸的事寫下紙上然後扔進水盤溶解......其可祈求的願望類型和祈求程序會有清楚指示,對於拜神祈願這類形而上的事似乎太過有系統吧?
  • 回來後總覺得照片拍得不夠,有一點點遺憾。

再談Canon 500D

在下從Fujifilm F30升級用500D, 所以實屬DSLR新手。
  • 用開發現,其實500D的setting不夠仔細,例如ISO只能選100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 (還有基本上不用的3200, 6400, 12800);像素只能選3.7M, 12M, 15M。可以的話希望能有更細微的調校
  • 18-55mm kit lens的紫邊問題其實並不嚴重,正確曝光下通常不會出現
  • 9點對焦點略嫌不足,不過作為一部入門機則可放一馬
  • 個人認為,輕身是一個好處
  • 拍片模式下其實應該轉用手動對焦

Dreaming of the Kyoto and Osaka Sun Tour

  • The trip was very enjoyable
  • Japanese railway system is very complex. This could be shown by the fact that we get on the wrong train right after we left the airport...yet the system can provide fast and comfortable transportation.
  • in japan, density of vending machine>>density of convenient store>>density of supermarket
  • we stayed in 大阪日航酒店, which is nice, esp. with the 36%-off discount
  • very few people wore mask in Japan despite H1N1
  • 在日本,本人發現一宗隨地吐痰案例
  • 雖然如此,所見的大部份日本人愛乾淨整齊及過份有禮貌的性格令我很喜歡這個國家
  • 在京都,有日本人主動教我們找巴士站到景點。當時我心想香港人應該不會有這種閒情逸緻去教遊客怎樣到景點;當然,這可能只是兩地文化差異, which has no right or wrong.
  • Osaka is an interesting city. I wish to visit it again when I have more time and, of course, money.
  • 個人認為,所見的日本女孩沒有預期中靚,她們大都打扮得很mk
  • 個人認為,日本男孩打扮像飛仔也不夠man; 於京都有波鞋店sales給我介紹一些顏色較"kawaii"的男裝鞋......可能我真是太out了~

有機會再談。

方政2

四年前我貼過二十年前拍下的一張相,相中主角方政剛被坦克輾過雙腳。
前幾天看電視發現原來他仍活著。


這二十年來他是怎樣理解當晚發生的事?
這應該是個很難解答的問題。始終以軍隊鎮壓自己國家未來的人材,這種行為實在令人費解。

Some of you may already know, but nevermind~ Old news is always so exciting.

I am not a professional so don't blame on my shallow comments :D
  • monitor looks great
  • user friendly interface
  • 18-55 kit lens 有紫邊及「直線彎曲現象」
  • light weight but may be a bit too small for men
  • slow focus at live view mode
  • movie looks great but the loud motor sound spoils it
  • allows adequate flexibility in setting for DSLR begineers like me
  • despite all shortcomings, 500D is reasonablely priced for its quality
