没有雨的梅雨季

  太阳旺盛,中午的荷塘开得满满当当,绕一圈让人觉得非常幸福,持久的郁闷和没完没了的抱怨立刻结束。人们站在池边都很满足,虽然相当热。
  鱼盆已经彻底没鱼,改种莲花,时不时跑去看看,仿佛每日心中会开出一朵莲花来一样。叶子们都长得美丽,每周可以长出来一两片,但每个周末又憔悴掉两三片,不知是热还是太晒。

A rain month without rain, summer comes early. Hot noon sunshine and lotus in pond.
  

长茎标准照

blossom over long stem


怒放之若有所失,原来是被小朋友拉去两三瓣

Wide open with petals picked by children


有时荷花自会有一种迎风的姿态,其实却并没有风

As if wind comes, but no


花自飘零水自流

Gone with the flow


烈日下的一滴水和托盘

A drop of water on green plate at noon


弃我去者昨日之日不可留

To all the passed days


探头探脑的莲蓬,关注,呵呵

Curious fruit looking out


江南可采莲,莲叶何田田

小荷的大尖角,迟迟没有蜻蜓,避暑去了

Shoots for dragonfly landing, but obviously he rest in somewhere cooler


风吹起时的曲线和暗影

Lines and shaddow of wind


乍开的花蕾

A bud to open


花开两朵各表一枝,两枝长得都很象

花和强烈明暗

flower and strong brightness


水巷深处

Deep in the pond


中午光线太强了,很可耻地把照片色阶大调成这样,惊心动魄,实在是没办法,难得大日头下碰到一次风过池塘

Wind over pond, sorry, addjust color level a lot, too bright


残破的荷叶和倒影

Broken leaves and reflection


Georgia没电了,应邀拍夹竹桃一张,树荫里光线正好

Georgia run out of batery, the perfect light she likes, took as requested


两张ISO 400,黄昏时分,画面颗粒粗大许多,但不明白是不是色彩敏感度会好些,看不出来

dusk pond ISO to 400


这张水面的颗粒效果比较清楚

So get big grain of water surface, another effect

  So many shiny lotus flowers :-)) It's not easy to catch the colours in such a strong sunlight and high contrasts to dark water + leaves.
  The third picture is very good, very detailed, each stamen separate; the changing colours of the style, from yellow to green; the fresh green of the leaves, framed by dark shadows... Great.
  
  The dragonfly landing shoot is also very nice. If there where a dragonfly I would show this picture to one of our professors: He is a specialist for dragonflies.
  
  The curious fruit reminds me of a shower head. Maybe an obvious association on such a hot day (right now we have 33°C).
  Some years ago I bought a pack of dried lotus seeds. First I wasn't convinced by the taste - until I found out that the green seed leaves taste bitter. Without them I liked the seeds much better... But I still prefer cashew nuts ;-)

  Your association is just the same as we do. We call the shower head 'lotus head'. The fresh seeds taste nice, better than dry one. That's why I look it so closely... wait until it is ready. :-~
  Usually there will be seller on streets, selling these lotus heads. You just pick out the seed, get rid of the green cover, then that's the version of dried one. Then you can eat it with or without green seed leaves. The bitter seed leaves are good for cool down the body. Fresh seeds tastes juicy and with herb fragrancy.

真麻烦

  现在是这样的:
  如果是站点上的页面,http头中就包含referer,即当前页面URL,然后各相册都拒绝来自外站点的引用,前两天pchome维护,原来就在折腾这个(gznet,无忌论坛,photo.net除外,可能他们都懒得设这个)
  其它,比如你在本地写个页面引用,哪怕在IE直接http打开图片,都不会有referer值,就都没问题
  也是有理由的,http打头可以认为是商用,其它属于个人收藏。而且引用带来:1.算不进点击率的访问 2.占用带宽,正常访问受影响 
  麻烦的是我之流蹭免费相册的人……这是包在协议头里的,折腾来折腾去,等查到这层才死心,没法绕得开
  烦恼,而且发现webshots.com上传照片无比方便快捷,简直是最好的相册--也不能引用
  天涯还叫嚣天涯人用天涯相册,才1M,晕死
  伟大的列宁当初写了本书:怎么办。

 用flickr.com试试。

  多谢多谢!
  果然好啊!如下:
  
  Will Flickr always be free?
  Yes, there will always be a free version of Flickr. It will be limited in certain ways and you get more with your paid subscription, but it's still fun!
  
  what you get with a Free Account:
  
  20 MB monthly upload limit <--- enough!
  3 photosets
  Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images
  Storage of smaller (resized) images
  
  How do I post photos to my blog?
  First you'll have to configure an external blog
  
  How many photos can I upload for free?
  When you have a free Flickr account, you can upload 20MB worth of photos each calendar month. This is not a storage limit, but a bandwidth (or throughput) limit. At the end of each calendar month, your bandwidth allowance is reset to zero again.
  If you make a mistake when you're uploading (for example uploading the wrong photo) and then delete that photo, it doesn't free up upload space.
  
  I have a Free Account. Some of my photos aren't showing up. Why?
  When you have a Free Account, Flickr limits the number of photos that are displayed for you.
  If you have less than 200 photos in your photostream, we will display them all.
  If you have more than 200 photos in the system, only the most recent 200 will be displayed.
  
  Your photos are NOT removed from Flickr, only from the list of your photos (这意味你不能再管理200以前的旧照片). If you have blogged a photo and it no longer appears in your list, it will still appear on your blog, and the photo's Flickr page will still work just fine.<-------!!!
  
  让我试试

新问题:
Flickr can support:
Blogger
Typepad
Movable Type
LiveJournal
Manila
Atom Enabled Blogs
Blogger API Enabled Blogs
Meta Weblog API Enabled Blogs

天涯属于哪个泥??@_@

哈哈,原来不用设blog啊
做得真好,设好了能在相册里直接post到blog
世界又恢复美好啦,再次感谢,鞠躬,握手,涕泪交流状…… :p
好啦,这两天无比烦恼中还设好了photoshop automation,批量resize 图片飞快。我原来的生活是多么愚昧无知所以原始啊,:"((

拆风扇

  近来对工作迷惑,价值何在,没有成就感,所以低沉。
  有比较好的说法是,毕竟没有把自己‘卖光’,我们听了都拼命点头,是啊,那些钟点外的时间终究还是自己的,用来生活,做想做的事,总好过疯狂的连轴转。
  还是没看清楚,想法不明确。最不安的人都转走了,问题是那种意气洋洋的生活也不是很向往,但心态给坏掉了。
  今天拆洗风扇,以前一直没拆成的部位两下就弄好了,很愉快。
  当初读研,在宿舍怎么琢磨都没搞下来,大家都没成--可见读书多么多么没用!今天一看是显而易见的,就只能是拿螺丝刀用力拨开一个细铁栓。
  然后想这两年每日里坐着从未知推断到未知原来还是有用的,好歹思维得到了锻炼,人聪明点了。
  后来又想想,那些无比遥远的当机、数据毁坏、异常、逻辑错误,和这个细铁栓有什么关系呢?多半还是最近看多了装修工人怎么安装那些管道水盘挂钩。
  仍然是没有意义啊。

最近

  我很喜欢这个人,淡淡说来,仿佛语速都能感觉得到,空气里充满寂静的声音,而这些空隙里全是浮光掠影的回忆,冬天和煦阳光。
  35公里文集
  喜欢这篇书评,边缘阅读.《我的安东尼亚》,所以我确信这本书非常美好,要买的,还没找到……
  
  另外终于看到美国进入了50年代,看到这一章忍不住大笑,感到无比欣慰,原来都是一样的。
  这章说,40年代末美国人民从空气里嗅出什么事不对劲来着,对,总之,整个社会道德开始败坏,虽然日子开始好过起来,大家都不知道这是为什么。接着又说,那时候,政要显贵们的生活极其腐朽,例举了色情业的兴旺,并且分析了为什么需要职业化的服务(你不能指望那些有身份的人也到酒吧里勾搭躁动不安的女招待吧,风险太高,纠缠不休没有职业道德怎么行),同时说受良好教育的女学生也加入了这个有前途的行业。最后说,当然,那时候的美国人民是不知道这些光鲜的大人物过的是这样子的生活,‘倒不是人们对他们还有什么幻想,而是人民普遍认为,这些人忙着侵吞国家财富还忙不过来呢’。
  读完这个,我脑子里充满了对世界的新认识,兴高采烈地去上班了。原来并不是只有我们掉入了这么可耻的境地,一切光荣都有其黑漆漆的入口。

  然后看《悟空传》,总之把电视机卖掉是很好的举动。
  此书不是一般地高,让我以后想想清楚再说。
  同时在看《厨房机密》,果然是好书,有趣得很。
  但是如果一定要详细地打分,《悟空传》绝对是五星,相比之下,也许《厨房》要减一颗。
  《悟空传》让我头脑里充满了混乱的想法,当然它有弱点,有些地方薄而脆,但这无关紧要。

  Georgia又给了另一个站点看王小慧,这里图片好像大一些了,而且主要是,用几乎从没看过的眼光重新又看了一遍。

  Yes, I am very interested in Wang Xiaohui. This time, understand better.

  花之灵
  开始对以前的想法觉得可笑,比如当时挑出了这张作为喜欢的代表

它固然好,然而空洞没有意义,尽管非常梦幻

Last time I took this one as most favorite. But now, my mind changed. It is good. But somehow it's empty, although the flower is like a soft wind in dream.


对下面这张著名的相片看法没有改变,行走的女子:

一朵马蹄莲,再怎么象一个轻盈地走过的女子,那又怎么样呢。当然它充满了巧思。

This is her famous work, 'a walking lady'. Still I wonder, what's good if a calla looks like a walking woman? It is very smart, but...
Look at the photo again, I realize, maybe the similarity is not so important, maybe it is not good for so smart. The point is, this lady has such a beautiful step. How can you take the flower so airly?

开始非常喜欢这张:

那动荡的绿色漩涡,流转的往昔,我忍不住要想,做薇安小说的封面是最适合不过了,其实也是很久以前读过一点薇安,如今全不记得讲了些什么,但这照片配《再别薇安》这四个字是再好没有了
晕,结果搜了一下,根本就没有《再别薇安》,只有《告别薇安》。然而这张片子,是只能给《再别薇安》的了。

This time, I like this one. The green turbulence in background, the stories in dark stems... I think the title should be 'Farewell Vivian...again'. It is a title for a novel. I forget the story itself (read quite long time ago), but this picture is just for it, farewell Vivian...again.


还喜欢这张

也许是开始着迷于红色花瓣的质感和绿色的背景,必须承认这点。
但我对这两幅之间的微小变化喜欢得要命。
说不清楚,生命精致安静而沉默,那些温暖的目光,无声的爱怜,只在于一些没有痕迹的细微转身

It is hard to explain why I like this one. Maybe I am fascinated in the red delicated pettals and green background, just like last one.
But more important, I can't like it as much if without the tiny difference between the two copy.
Such difference catches my eyes. Life is so delicated but silent, such unnoticable change touches your heart just like a gentle tick.


还喜欢这张:

解释是困难的,越说越觉得困难
它象什么呢?上部的浅绿,仿佛《这里黎明静悄悄》中回望多彩的青春,欢快,梦幻,如在云上
下部的昏暗,迷茫而无所知
只有极其短暂的瞬间是清晰的,那么清晰真实,丝毫毕现,然而这样的清晰是那么那么的少

And I like this.
Even harder to say.
What is it like? The bright green in upper part is the colorful dream of youth, with happiness, above the cloud.
The bottom part, dark, treacherous, lost.
Only the middle is clear, so clear so real, even a single fabric can't hide. But such clearity and sureness is so so little, just a short short second.


此外,老赛在整理他中国游的照片:travelling the land of fairies
我吃惊的是,原来美没有界限,老外眼里的东方居然和我们是一样的。
比如

苏州
And this is Sebatian's travel in China. Very interesting, what's valuable differs very little across continents. It is the same thing that I am so pround for my country.
This reminds me of the failed window spring photo in Hangzhou. The same reason I like the place so much.

Day 12 - Beach Opera Theatre

  The last night, we came back to the singapore river side. A circle to end. But this time for the Merlion and durian theatre.

The light and the cloud. I like the cotton soft cloud at dusk.

  
Blue balls

  
Matrix - puzzles from ceiling

  
Heels with propeller
I like this ceiling very much. When looking above, you see dreams of these aimless steps. But, just as in real life, so many wandering, hesitation, rush, try to catch up and down, but finally they are all aimless, intended or not intended.
