the tragety of fish...?...Those salty dried fishes really make my mouth watering :-)))))

And now you are taking a lot of black and white photos:) I really like b&w, somehow they look more gentle and peaceful to me. But I guess it's hard (maybe harder than colored ones) to get a clean shot with b&w.Nevertheless, the feeling of serenity does show up in your pictures:)

评论人：ataloss 评论日期：2008-3-20 12:28

Actually not so hard as you guess. :) At first I also think b&w is hard. But later I found the best part of it is: you walk arround from color balance problem. In some cases, color is not important, in night, in some single color environment. It's almost same with color or not, just b&w plus some kind of hue. 　 　But on streets, b&w is much easier to make the picture hamony. If with color, it will be a big choas. Colors may fight with each other. But in b&w, this problem is ignored. So I think an admirable color street/record photo is much harder, more demanding. You need to be very smart and quick and master of all factors. I can't do it yet.

That makes a lot of sense:-) But then in a less crowded environment, I guess b&w is harder to convey the rich information a color shot can. Although I feel anytime in a natural scene, crowding is a big problem. This really makes me feel our visual system is so good at filtering information:-) -- what I see, and what I hope to be shown on a picture, is seldom the same (most of the time much cleaner/nicer obviously) as what I can get on a shot.

true. 　　 learning the difference between the way eye/mind perceive and the way the camera produces pictures is always the skill to be learned. and, of course, B/W and colour photography differ also here. 　　to me, it sometimes looks like this difference is best expressed by the sentence by ludwig wittgenstein: 　　 　　"not _HOW_ the world is, is the mystical, but _THAT_ it is." 　　 　 　colour photo will show how the world is (well, at least a little part of it). but B/W tries to catch the mystical that is behind the surface of things by abstracting from the obvious. 　　 　　sebastian

春节 家人

　　这几天为即将上班焦虑得很。在此之前几乎一步都没离开过兜兜，想想是很奇怪的事，要离开无比需要你的孩子，去为未必那么需要你的人工作。
　　今天感觉好些了，胡阿姨是个耐心的人。
　　整理照片吧。在家住了一个月，都不想回来。要走老爸老妈都舍不得兜兜，说又剩他们了，冷清。再短的距离还是远。真的是应该‘父母在，不远游’。最近高中丁同学的爸爸病危，找张猫，成了她的病人，这时候远在地球那一边就真的太难受了。年少时想走四海，现在死心塌地哪里也不去，就守在家里才好。
　　过节时在表姐家吃饭，说起一房远亲，照顾90多的老母亲，老太太差不多植物人，医院都病危让接回家俩回了，结果九年了，在家照顾得好好的，老太太头发都转黑了，能说几句简单的话。九年啊，一点褥疮都没长过。真不容易。真好。

15. 茶花

16. 水塘里住了只白色的鹭，飞在水面上抓鱼，或者高高栖在树顶（不知道到底是不是鹭，印象里鹭好像就单腿站在浅滩。。。），鸟儿真高贵啊
I dont know whether it is aigret... rest at tree top, living in the pond.
　

17.树上的十只小麻雀
Ten sparrows on winter tree
　　
　
18.天气开始暖和起来，昨天下午散步，路遇苏醒过来的蛤蟆一只，慢吞吞踱步在街上
A revival toad met on street when we do the afternoon wandering yesterday.
　　
　　偶然看到以前拍的花，把它们拍得真丑啊。总结一下，我是个热情高涨，笨拙而勤奋的拍照爱好者。够愚蠢的，年复一年地不会正确使用自己的相机。。。而这丝毫不影响使劲卡查的热情，可见是很纯粹的上瘾。看了一下，就这张郁金香还算拍得好些的。
　　　　

All my old flower pictures are ugly, only this green tulip still looks good.
　　
　　不比较不知道差距，这个人持之以恒地拍花，拍得非常美，第一次看到他的构图，就知道他是日本人，果然是。说不清楚，反正你能感觉到画面里的那种严格，还有就是比如一般常用三分之一构图，他们会偏四分之一，再就是留白留得非常好，还有那种氛围。
　　To compare with very good flower pictures, to know what is the target, this K.masao is super. He/She sticks on different flower close-ups. When I first saw the picture, I knew he's Japanese at once, the very neat clean style. Yes, he is.

emmmmmm .. looking at both masao's and the pics on this page, i must confess i prefer yours. especially green tulip and the B/W narcissus. 　　s.

腊梅的那张构图好。你可以考虑上一个画质更好些的相机了，那会让你更有热情去拍照。。。

评论人：macht 评论日期：2008-2-23 0:06

是8对吧？是啊，在考虑D80呢。 　　 　 　Em, thanks. You like 1 and tulip because B&W is your favorite type, and tulip one is a little metaphor. :P Should compare B&W with B&W. masao's are Japanese sentimental style. Anyway I also like the BW version nacissus very much. ;)

Hey, look, this one is super! 　　 Plum by BSY from bsy-sky.blogbus.com 　　　　　　 Two 'fade away' by BSY, reminds me of Wang Xiao Hui

评论人：乱看 评论日期：2008-3-2 13:59

agree, very nice. especially by the colour. 　　unfortunately the second link does not work for me, need to try again later. s.

评论人：dropin 评论日期：2008-3-3 21:53

Sorry, my fault, now it's ok.

评论人：乱看 评论日期：2008-3-4 14:24

hm .. does not remind me of 王小慧 ..

评论人：dropin 评论日期：2008-3-4 17:45

Maybe it is because we remember different photos for Wang... 　　This photo always on my mind: The 3rd in Farewell Vivian 　　BSY's 'fading away' instantly call up my memory of it. 　　But, hmmm, you are right, Wang is different. And, much better... except the dry flowers are in same color style.
