摄影是一门哲学

去上了第一堂数码单镜摄影课程。

老师说话慢条斯理地，课程进度也是慢条斯理地。我原本期待第一天上课老师就教我们光圈、曝光、构图等较技术性的东西，想要尽快掌握这些知识。出乎意料的是，老师却发问了很多思想上、哲学上的问题。开始时，我有点不耐烦，只想老师快点叫我们把相机拿出来。渐渐地，我开始明白老师的用意….

旅游和摄影 ： 我的第一部 DSLR – Nikon D60

最近，有个大折扣，Ed终于买了架Digital SLR (数位单镜相机) – Nikon D60, 给我。他说，这是DSLR中，第二最便宜和最基本的一架。给我这个从来没用过DSLR的初学者用最适合。

很久很久以前，曾想过学摄影，尤其是旅行时，我总是在想，如何可把那无敌美景摄入, 以保住那片刻的无价震撼呢。可是，以前要学摄影是多么昂贵的嗜好…..

小小好消息和Schmap

约两，三个星期前，收到一封从 Schmap 寄来的电邮，说我贴在 flickr 内的一张照片 (上图) 被 shortlisted。该公司寄信来征求我的同意让他们甄选照片。如果被选中的话，照片会被刊出在他们网页的旅游地图向导。虽没钱赚 (哈哈！)，不过该公司会注明摄影者的名字和提供摄影者的flickr link….

最酷万圣节装饰 The Coolest Halloween Decoration

两个星期前，Ed带我去一个小镇， Elora, 看秋叶。
暂不谈这个小镇。先要给大家看看Elora镇上最酷的万盛节装饰！
怎么样？超棒吧? 铁线加棉纱，就是是鬼怪妖精，厉害！
以上的图片是在Elora旅客中心的庭院拍的。
镇上很多商店都有相似的装饰。
看来是镇中心请来专业艺术家把整个城镇装扮，以吸引游客。
明天就是万圣节了，以上的照片是送给你们的。
有去派对的朋友玩得开心点哟！
Two weekends ago on a drive to see autumn leaves colours, Ed and I went to a small artsy village town just outside of Toronto called Elora.
The most interesting thing about the villatge were the decorations they did for Halloween, by far the most elobrate and createive I’ve seen.  The town organised [...]

近十年来最严重的暴风雪 worst snowstorm since 1999

[rockyou 95723831]
我’有幸’体验到多伦多近十年来最严重的暴风雪。
昨天一整天，雪不停地下，不停地下….
我和Ed穿得厚厚地跑出去‘赏雪。
因积雪有20至30公分高，步步艰辛，才绕公寓一圈，我已气喘如牛。
今早，雪小了，轻轻地飘。
太阳跑了出来, 人们也出来了。我也出去拍拍照片。
阳光反射在洁白的雪上，好美好美。
人们暂抛开要清理那么多的雪的烦恼，先快乐地享受….
I was ‘fortunate’ enough to have the chance to experience the worst snowstorm in nearly ten years in Toronto.
The snow was pouring non-stop yesterday.
Ed and I went out during the storm, well, for an experience. It was rare chance.
The streets were covered by 20 to 30 cm of snow and was extremely difficult [...]

A Cool Night in Montreal

这次去蒙特利尔一张照片都没拍到。反正为了见朋友，专心聊天就是了。加上，我也不懂怎么在这种又暗又湿的景象拍出好东西。我的朋友是摄影高手, 我也不好意思在高手面前献丑。
怎知，回到多伦多，才后悔没拍到秋末寒冷的蒙特利尔。所以，唯有向Daniel要了张照片留念。他好厉害！拍得真的好漂亮。在此与大家分享。谢谢了，Daniel !
拍这张照片时, 天空中已飘着雪片…..街上一片冷清….
It was rare to catch up with a friend, let alone someone from Australia. We met up in Montreal. It was very wet and dark while we were there. I knew I was not capable of take any good photos in such conditions. In addition, my [...]

Halloween Houses

昨天天气不错。中午和晚上都出去走走，看看加拿大人如何为万圣节疯狂。
Taking advantage of good weather yesterday, I went for a walk in our neighbourhood, just to check out how Canadians crazy for Halloween.

Sunset in Toronto

Do you believe sunset can be so stunning in front of your apartment ?
The photo was taken by my boyfriend in Toronto last evening.
Though I missed the sunset, it definitely brightens up my spirit to study for the two upcoming big, fat exams on next Monday

Me!!!bourne

I supposed to spend all day in the library to study but I chose the wrong library – the RMIT library in the city. The reason I wanted to study in the city because I had a few things needed to be organised in the city.
However, the weather was so gorgeous that as soon as [...]
