My Turn to Say DISTASTEFUL

It's over.. and theres more things waiting for me to put effort in rather than turn my head looking back.. It's been a while i din even bother to log on to my own blog just because I was really busy with my school works.. and my sister came, happy meeting her up and celebrating together although it was only less than 36hours we spent together.. Thanks for travelling up North, I know its a long journey anyway..

This is the first time I am trying to speak up my own thing here in a so call 'straight forward' way.. Thats what somebody told me that my blog was a bloody hell for her to understand, I am sorry for before then.. I found easier to write in chinese instead of english maybe just because i fancy chinese more, or maybe its because sometimes I cant really find the appropriate word to express what I actually want to say, Its nothing wrong with english, it just because my english is really rubbish I should say..

It has been a busy and tough week for all of us, I guess so.. I know everyone has worked hard for this particular task although its only bout 8% of the assessment.. Congratulation to Davee Les and Macho, good job lad! Starting from half eight till late, the Hub Library Trinity Pandon Northumberland and Ellison, come on, give ourselves an applause, we deserved it..

'I only blog because i have nothing better to do' (Davee, Available at daveena.wordpress.com, Accessed on 30 January 2009) Thats her priority not mine, but sometimes it works when typing it out rather than keeping deep in. Honestly Im purple at the moment, Im just trying to lend a pair of ears or a shoulder probably but seems like I failed.

'Emotional Quotient (EQ), describes a concept that involves the ability, capacity, a self-perceived ability, to identify, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups.' (Bradberry, 2005, The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book. New York: Simon and Schuster, Published by Travis and Greaves Jean) I admit, if 40% is the pass grade for EQ, then mine is slightly lower than that, I'll only give myself for 28% I guess? Probably yes.. Come on Jeffrey, tell urself you need some self-improvement! Maybe someone can step up and tell my mind to do so? Please, do that..

Is SIP really better than Blockworks? In term of durability? or should we consider the sustainability issue? Is SIP fit in Part L well? More plant and machinery for SIP creates the problem of ozone depletion? Does it worth to invest on a system that is cheaper but cost u more on facilities? How much I wish Haitian is here to erase my memory.. How much I wish I have Peter's ability.. How much I wish Claire is not Nathan's daughter.. and, How much I wish Parkman can tell me whats on yours..

I think I should just cut the crap here, have been inserting those 'unexplainable' referencing that i don even know meself, writting me blog in a Harvard Style, making something informal to formal, turning the reality into me own dream.. Hey wee Man (thats what the geordies said), what the fucking hell are you doing Jeffrey?!

Leica D-Lux4

Do you ever think of having a Leica as one of your gears? I did! and M8 was once my target! But now i turn my dream real by having the so call 'son of M8' and the Leica D-Lux4 is now mine!

After some survey for at least a month, Calling back to Malaysia for some sort of advise and opinion, Making comparison between LX3 G10 and D-Lux4, Reading some forums and news from the internet, Also once i tried to pop in Jacobs for the real touch but we failed, but thanks alot for the accompany anyway x

I ever think of giving up on chasing for my new baby.. Lots of people keep telling me that its not worth to go for it, Eventhough the lady in Jacobs asked me more than 3times when I was there to put my order.. When people tend to put LX3 and D-Lux4 together, maybe for you its stupid to go for a over-priced gear like this.. But for me I will only go for the thing that I like and I think its worth for.. Thats why I was awarded the name Mr.Stubborn?

I cant deny that LX3 equip with all the things that D-Lux4 has, The only difference of both is the outlook of the body.. As for the image quality that I read on an article, said that D-Lux4 has the better image colour contrast.. Should i agree with it since im one of the Leica owner now? Someone asked me before regarding this issue, saying that why would you spend £200 more just for what a photoshop can do? Erm.. I think this links to what I said before, Im really that Stubborn, am I? I guess so =P

梦幻世界里的她

"到底你喜欢怎样的女生?" 今天有人这样问我
所以我决定了在这里和你分享我和她的故事
也许你听完我的故事后你会觉得我很愚蠢
也有人觉得我由始至终都专一于她是件很好的事
其实 什么人值得我去等值得我去爱我自己最清楚

一九九九年的某一天 我被她深深的吸引
根本找不到任何理由让我不再继续迷恋她
从我知道什么是喜欢一个人的感觉以后
我对她的爱是从一而终一点也没有改变过

二零零九年的今天 感谢她陪我走过了这十年

她的四张专辑一直都保存在我的电脑硬碟里面

从'男人四十'到'花吃了那女孩'没有一部电影我没看过

就连她一九九六年刚出道的广告都很清楚的在我脑海里

一张普普通通的电脑桌布 它陪伴了我很长的一段时间

因为我对着电脑的时间基本上都占了我百分之五十

喜欢没有事情做就对着电脑发呆望着她的感觉

喜欢无时无刻都能看见她那漂亮可爱的笑脸

喜欢她的 一切

幸福的一刻

婚礼婚纱摄影 最近的我成了它的忠实粉丝

但很可惜 它会是一个很昂贵的实习经验

所以我决定在还没真正找到模特儿配合我之前

我定购了还算蛮不错的两本书来过过干瘾

希望有一天我能真的掌握到它的奥妙给自己拍摄

现在的我如果谈起这个话题应该还言之过早
但对我来说 对着你爱的人说'我愿意'是多么浪漫的一件事

高贵大方的白婚纱 开心而灿烂的笑容 甜蜜和幸福的心情

每个人梦想的一刻 两个人结合的形式 婚姻之所形成婚礼

你 心动了吗?

相信在你一生中里总有人会提点和告诉你

什么事情应该去做 什么事情不应该这样做
你知道为什么吗? 我 不知道..

应不应该做是你自己的决定和选择

如果不亲自尝试和坚持 怎么知道你最后放弃的是什么

如果现在的你已经处于幸福婚姻状况 我真心的祝福你们
而那些和我一样等待着灰姑娘有一天会穿上那对鞋的人 加油吧!

费洛蒙 (Pheromone)

女人成功的秘诀很多 其中有两条很重要:

对狰狞的男人 先下手为强

对假装温柔的男士 下手要更强

就是以上这几句逗趣的开场白 它让我继续待在这个故事里

女人不坏 难道男人就不爱?

每年十一月到二月的法国南部是采集松露的最佳季节

这种浓郁熏香的松露生在在地下的七公分

所以当地的农民有种很特别的方法去找到它们 就是用猪

猪的嗅觉对松露的味道非常敏锐

因为猪在求偶是散发出来的气味跟松露的味道非常相似

所以一旦闻到 猪就会失控的兴奋

同样 人类也会被异性的味道所吸引

神经会受到影响而产生一种很特别的兴奋感

这种很特别的兴奋感就是我们所谓的爱情

从体内散发出来爱情的味道

它的真正名字叫做: 费洛蒙 (Pheromone)

费洛蒙 一个非常奇妙的东西

它只会向对的人才会散发出正确的爱情讯息

但如果有一天人类成功复制'气味相投'把爱情市场占领

那你会不会偶尔也怀疑眼前的他爱的是费洛蒙还是你?

Deadline Kills

Something that...
-I planned long time ago but I haven started to do
-less important than dissertation but keeps reminding me its existence
-I don think I can win but I will try my best to do
-is only worth a high street voucher but I still wish to have
-need feel to inspire me but it haven come yet
-I never expect but it happened today x



The Built Environment Photo Competition - Im running out of time!
Lets have the gears ready and get my ass kicked after John's work
The first investment made is purchasing a 'reference' book
The four high street voucher at least gave me some motivations
Finger crossed that I can bring my homiesss for nice foods on March

午夜太阳

极昼 或是我们常听见的午夜太阳

它只会出现在地球的两极地区

二零零八年的六月 我见证了这一刻
挪威的天空让我看见了真正的午夜太阳

我承认我比起很多人幸运 而我也很珍惜

其实这对我来说是一个启示

世上没有什么事情是不能办到的事

只是你还没有找到对的方式去行使

就像午夜太阳带给我们的故事

如果你一直只待在原地的话你更本看不清楚

但如果你换个角度或换个方式去看待整件事

也许它会带给你与想不到的解决方式

就好像如果我一直只待在英国那也没有离开过

那我就只有机会听见午夜太阳的美

午夜的太阳
希望有一天你也能够看见

Supersample (Lomography)

One look at the quirky-looking Supersampler and you know that it's a camera like no other! This ultra-lightweight, low-maintenance 35mm camera fits perfectly in your hand for spontaneous shooting! Aim the Supersampler at your moving (or non-moving) subject, pull the ripcord, press the tiny button - and voila! You have just "sampled" your subject into four panoramic panels. So how on earth is this possible?! See those four beady eyes nestled in front of its plastic body? Thos are the ultra-talented, super-sharp lenses that slice your image into four panels. Results are wickedly cool if your subject is in hyperactive motion, or if you prefer to shoot non-moving objects, you'll have to do the jumping and moving!

This lightweight shootbox operates without batteries, and needs a high ASA film of all kinds - negative, slides, color, or black & white. There are two speeds available - 4 photos in 2 seconds (.50sec/photo) or 4 photos in 0.2 seconds (.05sec/photo). No need to fuss with focus settings, since it has a fixed focus of 0.3 meter to infinity. With its portability and convenience, the Supersampler is hailed the "Queen of all Multi-Lensed Cameras." Now you know why!

I've own a blue supersample and its a birthday present from a friend, i like it very much. I've tried to use it for a few film on my way to wakefield to meet up Rebecca, to Tess's and May's convo, to Alnwick Castle with my sister and my dear June, and also to the field trip in Berlin with my lovely Sling and others. Although I've develop quite a few films now, but i still cant really get the technique of using it. Hopefully I can get a very nice photo with my supersample one day.

Its worth to own a supersample if you are interested in photography. It is a different way of taking a view that you like and should say it is more to action. For me, I like to use supersample to shoot down the way that the object move, it makes the photo to tell story when you look at it. Cant deny that photography really need some investment. For lomography camera, you won know the result untill you had develop it. So, don hesitate, give it a try if it is affordable for you!




I've used so many films to get a nice photo using my supersample, unfortunately above is the only photo that i like the most from all the photos that I've developed, but its still worth a try. Im actually not so good in lomography but it really part of my interest, Im sharing this gear with you its because i think its worth to make it a try if u really a 'photomaniac' like me! And, I believe practice makes better. The Berlin's photo still in the camera, and I cant wait to develop the film that is still in it now! Wait for my update with experience on my supersample if i can get really nice photos with it!

天空的颜色

其实对我来说天空真的不一定会是蓝色 有没有人认真想过?
有人说过 她希望有一天她的天空会是粉红色 我相信她可以

奥斯陆 (Oslo)

奥斯陆(Oslo) 欧洲北部城市 位于挪威东南部 是挪威的首都和最大城市
人口约56万(2008年统计) 占挪威总人口的11.8%

如果你是那喜欢新鲜空气游山玩水的爱好者

那我会特别对你推荐

如果你是那崇拜摩登时尚服装与建筑物的拥护者

那这里应该不是你会想来的地方

二零零八年 六月 我踩上了挪威的草地

它给我的第一感觉是一个不算先进的国家

也许是因为那时是他们正在进行大维修吧

所以可以说走了半个城市都可看见敲敲打打的动作

随后的几天 我开始喜欢上了这里

喜欢这里的天气 喜欢无忧无虑的住在这里

虽然英文不是他们的母语

但他们还是很努力的向我解释我提出的问题

在这里 我要特别感谢帮助我很多的旅客质询站

因为如果没有他们的存在 或许这趟旅行不会那么顺利

在这几天的旅行 到了几个旅客必经之地:

Norsk Folkemuseum

City Hall

Holmenkollen Ski Jump Museum

Kon-Tiki Museum

Norwegian Maritime Museum
Fram Museum

Viking Ship Museum

Vigeland Park

Norwegian Museum of Cultural History

我建议你需要拥有一张Oslo Pass

它拥有三种不同的天数在发售当然价钱也截然不同

而三天是我决定逗留在这里的时间

我 买了一张学生价的四十八小时Oslo Pass (NOK 160)

它让我拥有无限量免费的乘搭当地的交通工具 这让我解决了交通问题

它也让我免费进入大部分的旅游胜地 也让我在用餐时得到折扣

绝对物超所值

让我最难忘的莫过于乘船出海的那一天

坐在木船上 一边吹着海风一边享受着夏天的太阳

大约两个小时漂浮在海上 细心的他们也准备了午餐

新鲜的北极虾加上几片的白面包填满了我的餐盘

不吃虾的我 也经不起它的诱惑把它全吞进了肚里

也形成了一个小时后的我拥有着不舒服的身体

挪威 一个可以说是爱好摄影者的天地 不止是奥斯陆而已

如果给我一个机会再回去 我会是为了北极光而去

爱丁堡 (Edinburgh)

二零零八年的最后一个旅行 我来到了这里 爱丁堡

它是南部低地的中心也是苏格兰的古都

独特的魅力: 爱丁堡城堡 香醇的威士忌 穿着苏格兰裙的风笛手

这里:
依山(雄据于延绵的火山灰和岩石峭壁之上)

傍水(位于苏格兰中部低地的福斯湾南岸)

绿树成荫 鲜花盛开 古代宫殿 教堂和城堡点缀其间 文化遗产丰富

是英国最美丽的城市之一 素有"北方雅典"之称

由于这是我第二次来到此地 所以也带着蛮平淡的心情

一班人不懂是几个人了 就这样踏上了这两天一夜的旅行

对其他人来说也许会是一个美好的回忆

但对我来说其实大部分的时间我都在房里休息

其实爱丁堡真的很值得一来探个究竟

因为我本身没有亲自体验太多的东西

所以不适于在这里给出太多的评语

Edinburgh Dungeon

一个我认为最不值得去的地方

白白给了快九磅 到头来只是空期待一场

但有人说我得到了一个很特别的体验

至少在我人生里应该会只是那么的一次被'鬼'吼骂的经验

Camera Obscura

一个我认为是我这一趟旅行到了最值得的地方

它仿佛就像带我进入充满幻想的世界

不同的阶层有着不同的故事线

在这次的旅程里 没有意外的我的确没有捕抓到很好的作品

但我还是很开心

第二次的旅行 我很珍惜

Make Your Own Photo Planet!

Working on an image for more than 5hours, exploring the way on how to create such an amazing and unique landscape image, finally i did it! Watching the video and getting on my CS2 step-by-step, now im here to make it easier for you to understand!

If you want a fun and creative alternative to regular panoramic images, then this is the technique for you! give it a try and you'll soon be creating your very own mini planets from your images. These effects are all the rage and a great way to do something different with your landscape images.

1.Stat an panoramic image

2.Squash your image

-Open an image then click Image-Resize-Image Size. Untick the box marked Constrain Propotions and change the Pixel Dimensions to 4000 pixels for both Width and Height. Click OK. Your image will now look like a squashed square image.

3.Flip & Spin the image

-We now need to turn the image upside down so click Image-Rotate-180. To make the planet shape, click Filter-Distort-Polar Coordinates. Choose the Rectangular to Polar setting and the click OK. You should now see your image folding in on itself to make the basic planet shape.

4.Hide the join

-The join between the wrapped edges needs to be hidden to make it look natural. Zoom in on the area and, with careful use of the Clone Stamp tool, remove the obvious sharp edge along the join.

5.Finally

*The side of the pic are going to end up next to each other, so the more alike they are the better. Also, try choosing easy-to-clone objects at either edge, trees are a great way to hide the join!

团员与我

第一个周末

我过的非常有意义

终于都有机会增加我的作品

在这里我衷心的感谢我尽责的团员:

雨云 我的超配合漂亮模特儿

小猪 我的高水准御用灯光师

而我 只是一个班门弄斧的摄影师

同个角度用了四个不同的物品在拍摄

每一张照片都藏着了不同的味道和性格

朴素的颜色散发出一种全所未有的温和

成功的拍摄真的很感谢我那配合的模特儿

摄影 一门非常考验技巧的学问
每张照片对我来说都是一个故事
不同的人他会看见不同的心情颜色
照片里的灵魂只在乎你用什么角度去诠释

序

二零零九
一个全新的一年
一个不同的体验
所有事情还是那么新鲜
不懂往后会有遇上啥考验
但我的脚步只能继续移动向前

今天的我二十快有三
生活状况应该是普通中带点挑战
带着无忧无虑的态度走过
所以形成现在有点被宠坏的我

每个人都需要在人生中学习抉择
一个正确的决定或许会影响你的一生
一个错误的决定就只能送你最后一程
惭愧的我 其实根本没有认真的选择过

忘了什么时候第一次写我的自愿
医生警察老师都是小学生会填写的职业
天马行空的思想其实应该停留在那时候
但现在的我还是相信超人会现身把坏人剿灭

忘了天空是什么颜色
忘了薰衣草应该是属于那种颜色
对我来说 黑白永远都是出现在我睁开眼睛的那一刻
每一天该填上什么样的颜色是自己做的选择

已丑年
一个我希望能找到改变的一年
不了解我的人应该会祝福我能够实现
了解我的人应该会看准我在三分钟内离线
对我来说人家怎样看我已经不是重点
我相信只要我坚持着自己的信念
那我也就是开始写下了改变自己故事的第一页
