EMIA

真的很不錯啊，前幾天買了一隻RX-78-2，關節的活動能力很高，而且不會像HCM Pro那麼膠，粗粗地玩下都唔錯，所以送阿寶一個對手，就是馬沙的EMIA紅渣古，不算貴呀，哈哈！
至於馬沙vs阿寶的作品，好快會制作．

開心地工作

今日CIO與我部開大會，提到一點都幾有意思，就是工作時要開心．
我非常贊成他的睇法．
不只在投身社會工作之後，其實在以前讀書的時候，我也是靠這個方法令自己可以完成學業(還超額完成)．
從一些細微細眼的地方去找快樂，因果不快樂，就會沒有心情去做一件事．
只從一點點快樂就繼續下去，有點阿Q精神！

望遠鏡

自已望買在好耐的望遠鏡終於都買左喇，去了Stanley Street我最有信心的美麗華．用了1500蚊去換了一支10X42 EXWPI binoculars，都幾夠光，不過實際的function是需要在看完說明書才會清楚．最開心就是沒有在旺角買，因為旺角賣緊2280，貴了50%，真是奸商．

中國傳統用筷九忌

中國傳統人家有所謂的用筷九忌：以筷刺物、以筷剔牙、以口含筷、以筷搔頭、以筷插飯、以手搓筷、以筷催叫、以筷挖鼻、以筷橫置碗上。九忌之中以將筷子插在飯中最為忌諱。習俗中只有供奉往生者的飯食時，才會把筷子插在飯中，小心無心的做法會犯下嚴重的忌諱。

生態

今天到了大埔影相，影了一種以前沒影到的品種，丫蚊俳蛺蝶．除了蝶，還有其他以前未影過的昆蟲．

雲荷

第一次去雲泉打荷，可惜只頂光，一下又變成無光．而周邊的荷花相信亦被有心的攝影人打欄．500mm的反射鏡剛好夠用，不過都是太暗，對焦好難．除了荷花外，還有青蛙（應該唔係青蛙，只係蛙類）．

咳嗽

咳左成個星期都唔好，現誠徵良方止咳．
病徵如下：
1) 喉嚨痕
2) 已經無痰
3) 飲完冰凍可樂就止得一陣

病了

經過了考試，四月版，一半的七月版，都不會病倒．在台灣返港之後，終於都病倒了，有點燒，亦有痰，應該是臭豆腐和炸菇引起的，太熱氣！

明天返工，一定做到要死！

06 台灣行 4/4

生日．

整日下雨，所以沒有心情影相，亦被困在地下街裡，下午到素食鋪裡吃了<日式豬排飯>，又幾好食．到了下午3時多，走了去相機街，發展台灣的Sigma有3年保養，真好，可惜我又不用Sigma的鏡．5時許，回程．浪費了一日！

p.s. KA的飛機餐真是好難食．

幾日在台灣拍的照片，只有十幾張：這裡．

06 台灣行 3/4

下午到了永康街的<回留>吃午餐，此店是以新鮮有機蔬菜做菜做賣點，TVB也介紹過．嘩！一食之下，真係鋪如其名，好<留>，好懷念昨天的臭豆腐．．．店內又不准拍照，可惜我亦都唔係<留>的，唔好食都影番張相走．

食完後，到了Simon Ding (西門町)行下，感覺和旺角一樣，不好行．不如行旺角，起碼我識路！晚上返回台北車站食壽司，台灣人真好，連食壽司都有素食menu，真的很正．飽飽的回酒店．

06 台灣行 2/4

一早到了光華圈走走，真的名不虛傳，全部都是賣電腦的東西．到下午的時候到了北投，溫泉真是很正，又不是很貴，兩個人泡1.5小時也只是nt980，真是值得一去再去．完成之後，再到了淡水，那兒的燒臭豆腐和炸菇真是好吃，但是長長的雪糕就千萬不要試，好看不好吃，在數天的旅程中，只有在淡水的時候才有強勁的陽光，所以多拍了幾張相才走，還看見了夜鷺，小白鷺，家燕等台灣留鳥，器材不夠好，所以影唔到．到了晚上，去了士林夜市大吃一餐，都只是nt1xx元，好抵，還飲了白苦瓜汁，一點也不苦．

06 台灣行 1/4

朝早5時起身，乘的士到機場（$26x），都不算貴．飛機大約10時就到達台北機場，到了酒店也不到12:00．

到了善導寺站附近的鈺善閣吃素養生懷石，很好吃，亦有特色，埋單時要nt3000，果然不同凡響．

食完午餐後周圍行行，發現台灣的素食真是三步一樓，五步一閣．晚上到了信義圈的誠品旗艦店走走，果然大到爆，大開眼界．不過信義圈的其他商場好像沒有什麼特別，如果行商場，都是香港好．

06龍舟競渡

今年天造美，可惜都是欠少少太陽．由早上起?，雨一直下不停，到了大約十時才停雨，不過也沒有陽光．

跟據前兩年的經驗，只有大龍才有睇頭，所以一開始只是影了兩場中龍作熱身，其餘的memory card就交給了大龍．

今年又給去年進步，沒有了IS，還挑戰了1/20s．希望明年好過今年，起碼對某人來說就一定要．

聖劍手刀

聖鬥士cross over風雲七武器這個概念都有了很久，可惜遲遲都因為沒有時間去開始及完成．今日原來到大埔打蝶，可惜天不造美，整天下著大雨，唯有在家找些東西拍拍．因為設備不足，亦不想用腳架，所以用了ISO1600及大光圈(F4及F5.6)來影，效果都叫ok，不過和網上某Gundam愛好者相比，還有一段距離．如果到設備好些少的時候，應該要試各光圈的不同效果．因為時間關係，這些作品都只是以NeoImaging來resize，加對比度及加frame．更多作品，盡在這裡．

手機再打蝶

都係屋企樓下

終於都要走

今日接到一個BA要走的消息，心裡一沉，很不高興．
和我拍擋開的BA通通都走，這同事是要去獅子銀行做user，我已告訴這同事會很辛苦，不過這公司可以給高人工，中銀當然也留不到這同事．．．

祝這同事萬事如意，亦希望佢不會弄壞身體．

How to read MTF chart ?
MTF charts (short for Modulation Transfer Function) provide a graph analyzing a lens' ability to resolve sharp details in very fine sets of parallel lines, and a lens's contrast or ability to provide a sharp transfer between light and dark areas in sets of thicker parallel lines. Fine repeating line sets are created parallel to a diagonal line running from corner to corner of the 35mm frame, directly through the exact center of the image area. These are called sagittal lines, sometimes designated "S" on Canon's MTF charts. At a 90° angle to these, additional sets of repeating lines are drawn, called Meridional (or "M" line sets. Repeating extremely fine short parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens' ability to record fine details, or its resolution. Even more important in the eyes of many optical designers is the lens’ contrast capability, which is measured with thicker sets of parallel repeating lines drawn at 10 lines per millimeter. At first glance, it would appear that any good lens would record lines running parallel to a diagonal drawn across the film with the same accuracy as lines drawn perpendicular to them. However, in real-world testing, this is often not the case. Especially in the Meridional direction, faithful reproduction of fine line sets becomes increasingly difficult as you move away from the center of the image toward one of the corners. And it's a fact that almost all lenses produce sharper results in general near the center of the frame than at the outer edges. MTF charts display the lens' performance from center to corner. Running along the chart's horizontal axis, labeled 0 to over 20, is the distance from the dead center ("0") of a 35mm image along a diagonal line to the corner of the frame, which is about 21.5mm away. On the chart's vertical axis is a scale representing the degree of accuracy with which the fine and coarse line sets are reproduced, in both the sagittal (parallel to the diagonal of the film format) and meridonal directions. Solid lines on the MTF charts indicate the performance of sagittal lines (parallel to the diagonal of the film), dashed lines are for the perpendicular meridional test target lines. In theory, a perfect lens would produce nothing but straight horizontal lines across the very top of an MTF chart, indicating 100% accurate reproduction from the center of the picture (toward the left of the chart) to its outermost corners (at the right side of the chart). Of course, no such thing as a perfect lens exists from any SLR manufacturer, so MTF charts typically show lines that tend to curve downward as they move left to right (tracking the lens' performance from center to corner of the frame). Canon's MTF charts give results at two apertures: wide-open, and stopped down to f/8, with the lens set to infinity focus. While MTF charts don't include many factors that can be important when selecting a lens (size, cost, handling, closest focusing distances, AF speed, linear distortion, evenness of illumination, and of course features like Image Stabilization which may produce superior real-world results), they can indicate to the knowledgeable reviewer some of the optical characteristics they can expect from a particular lens.

淺湯

樓下茶餐廳真的有點扼錢，上次看見有個客人要了餐湯，用一個好淺的碟來盛(plate)．我就打笑的說，如果一隻蟑螂識只用兩隻腳來行的話，一定可以行過整豌湯，而且唔會整濕個頭，更加唔會死在湯裡．XDDDDD~~~~

同明日進發

試就在今日已經考完，應該在一個月後就知道成績，大概不會有問題吧．在主動地完成學業之後，就要被動地迎接大量工作的來臨，因為上司知道我要考試，已經將部份工作分發給其他同事，當然在考完試之後，我的工作便會接踵而來．希望以後的生活是光明的，不要黑暗．
