This is a very crazy sports!

11 12 2008

I really think this is just a clever fake.  Can you tell?  There are no edges.  Such a weird picture!  It looks like the kind of guy who rides a motorbike.  He’s got armor on over his clothes, can’t even see the person inside.  And look how mean the dog is!

Such a crazy picture!


Of course I know that’s fake.  :D   Pretty cool, huh?





Fireworks and July Fourth

9 07 2008

Fireworks were invented in China.  In ancient times.  Matter of fact, we even invented gun-powder, to, and we used it to make fireworks with.  To us, war was never a way of using this – our ancestors would make a celebration, and that when they think about it.  Other times, focus on life, but sometimes, they would have magic in the sky.

Today, most of the world does same thing.  My family from California, and we love fireworks here!

From England:

Before cameras!

Before they had cameras!  Or even digital photography!

This is in modern times:

New Years

 

This is Taipei.  Won’t talk about that because this is photography blog.

 A pagoda

This is difficult style of photography!  I’m still learning how to just right.  Every time I go on Flickr, makes me wish I had lots of talent.  I love digital photography.  Use it for snapshots on vacation, and with my family.  So many photos of statues and roses.  All this brings me joy.  And pleasure.  But these people have talent!  My RSS found me Seattle fireworks of July 4.  We had great celebration in San Francisco to!





Protecting Environment Is Good

4 07 2008

In my country, sky so dark with pollution you can’t see the sun!  It’s a terrible thing.  I like in America, but my family from China, so we go back and visit.  California is best place on earth, protecting its environment.  But whole world needs this.

Here is a man called Pixel Head Online.  He is hero, showing people why protecting the environment is important:

Hey Fast 50 mm People!

3 07 2008

Hey party people!!

I think about 50 mm prime lens.  Hear it brings picture taking skill like no other.  Is this true?  Will you recommend one?  Do you like as 85 mm lens?

How many have one?  Do you use it so much?

Is trouble of prime lens worth fastnss?

Should I buy f=1.4 or f=1.8 kind?  Cost much more for f=0.4 f stop.





Sierra Nevada Mountains + Cascades

1 07 2008

California has to borders: Pacific Ocean, and Sierra Nevada mountains.  To the north is Oregon, home to northern Sierra with the nickname of Cascades.  Yosemite is our playground, but they have good places to.  I was reading about Talapus Lake in Oregon.  It’s nice up there, but not like here.

This is Bear Creek Spire in Little Lakes Valley.  Its on eastern Sierra Nevada, near state line.  This is US 395 a famous road for people who like pictures.  Ansel Adams took a lot of pictures here.  He used a really old fashioned camera and I don’t mean because it’s film!

Snowy Range

 

Its desert here but there’s so much snow Spanish and Mexican people call them “Snowy Mountains” which is what Sierra Nevada means.

This is panarama of US 395 road:

Pano Stitching

Wow that look so small!  Click the picture for a bigger one.

This is highest mountain in California:

Mountain Witney

 

Finally here’s Mountain Shasta of the Cascades which also start in California:

Shasta again this time with snow blowing off the top
