不要忘记当初为了什么而出发
Films For September / 九月的胶片
Nikon FM2 with Nikkor 50mm F1.2 AIS, Kodak Potra 160 Pushed to 400
A few weeks ago, I borrowed my friend’s Nikon FM2 with lovely 50mm F1.2 lens. I shot a few rolls of film with it, but I made a mistake on this roll. Anyway, the results turns out not bad at all.
几周前，我从朋友那里借来一台尼康FM2胶片机加上一只50mm F1.2的老镜头。用这个相机拍了好几卷胶片，但是这一卷却犯了一个错误。不过在等胶片冲扫出来后，觉得还是很好的。

100 Years of ANZAC / 100年澳新军团日
Leica M-P240 with Leica 50mm Noctilux F0.95 ASPH
April 25 2015, I attended ANZAC Day Dawn Parade an service in Auckland Domain. This time, it is a bit special because it’s been a century for ANZAC. At city council website, it reminds public to get there earlier due to a much larger number of people will join the memorial events. For this reason, even the inner link buses has start to run earlier and run more frequently.
今年四月的时候，我去奥克兰博物馆广场参加了澳新军团日的庆祝活动。这一次的纪念活动跟以往相比有一些特殊，因为是一个世纪了。在庆祝活动的官方网站上，还特别的提醒想要去参加活动的民众需要比以前更加早一点到现场。也是因为这个原因，公交车也会更早的开始运行而且多加班次。
Go Wide On Street / 用广角扫街
Leica M240 with Leica 21mm Summilux F1.4 ASPH
It’s been a while since last post on this site. Recently, I have been a bit busy. Well, actually, really really busy. In June, I was one of the team to teach a photography course for beginners, and I have been organizing for the up-coming exhibitions tour for 2015-2016. In this post, I am going to share some photos when I was trying to use 21 mm lens on streets.
又是拖拉一段时间没有发布任何东西了。这段时间，有些忙，应该说是非常忙。六月份，跟其他几位老师一起给一个初级摄影班讲课。摄影班结束后，就是要准备和策划接下来的2015-2016的中国巡回展览。今天就跟大家扯扯我尝试用21mm的镜头扫街的事情吧。
Voigtlander VM 15mm Version iii – User Preview
Voigtlander VM 15mm Version iii on Leica M240
About a year ago, I started to review my photography style, well, it not the style of photos, it is the way how I shoot. The feeling of that I want to get closer to my subjects, therefore I started to use wider angle lenses. I bought the Voigtlander 12mm Version ii last year (read my tiny reivew here:Voigtlander 12mm Version ii preview ), and I have shot many photos with that lens. I will write a follow-up review on that lens, and let’s talk about this fantastic 15mm lens for now.
Shooting film at Dali Ancient City

During Chinese New Year time, I had a short trip of 5 days in Dali, Yunnan. I spent first two days in Dali Ancient City, it’s one of the “Three Ancients” (Ancient Cities, Ancient Pagodas and Ancient Steles) of the Dali Scenic Spot. It can be dated back to the year 1382 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and has been among the top listed historical cities of China.
器材不影响对摄影追求
Muriwai Beach, Auckland. Taken by iPhone 5s
昨天我在微博上分享了这张照片，当时给它配的文字是【勤劳的文艺骚年】，有朋友说应该就只是【勤劳的骚年】更好，我不能同意的更多了。同事在微信朋友圈上面也分享了同样的照片，就有几位朋友问我这是什么相机拍的，怎么拍的这么好。当我告诉他们是手机拍的时候，他们都表示不相信，一说这个视角不对，有的说这样的逆光表现手机拍不出来，也有的说照片的比例来说不是手机的。当我后来跟他们详细解释了拍摄的参数和我怎样拍的方法之后他们也就没有纠结了。

At beginning of 2015, I had a trip to Beijing during the New Year’s holiday. I was busy meeting old friends but fortunately squeezed half of a day to visit some places I want to take photos. One of my destinations was Temple of Earth. Before I share my stories when I was taking photos, lets know the park a bit more.

Fujifilm X Pro 1 with Fujian CCTV 35mm F1.7 Lens.
This lens it’s very interesting lens. The first time I heard about this lens it was about more than a years ago from an old friend. I don’t know how he knew this lens before most of the people, might be because he was born at the Fujian, which the place that Lens been designed and made. 😀 (I don’t think this is the real reason.) He told me some characters about this lens, and showed me some photos he took with he Sony Nex camera, it got my attention straight away.
Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm F0.95 User Review
Sony A7 with Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm F0.95
First of all, I need to apologize for the late appearance of this follow up report. In my last Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm F0.95 VS 50mm Noctilux 0.95 preview, I said I will do a follow up review on this lens. I have been so busy for past months, but anyway, here is the follow up review.
我为什么重新用胶片拍摄
今年的九月别不同
等待是值得的
现在什么都讲需要快，以前胶片时代需要等待一段时间才能看到照片，而现在的数码摄影技术可以让我们在按下快门之后就立马看到屏幕上面的照片。我记得在我刚开始学习摄影的时候，我也是拍完立马在屏幕上去看到底有没有拍好，如果没有想办法再来一张。可是当我开始喜欢street photography之后，却发现如果没有拍好，你是根本没有机会重新按照之前的想法再来的。比如主体的那个人不会再在原来的地方出现，或者是光线已经变了。
这种拍完立马回放看成果的这种事情是会上瘾的，上瘾的原因是很好的，是为了想要拍一张好的照片。但是往往这种习惯一旦养成，却变得非常的糟糕的，因为我忘记思考和去让自己进步了。所以，从最近这段时间开始，我把相机的拍完回放的功能关掉了。那么每次拍完，不会看刚才的照片，而是继续保持一个好的心态去拍下一张自己觉得有意义的故事。等到开始处理照片的时候，自己再一张张的看。如果拍的不好，自己总结，去反思为什么，如果好那么记下来是不是每一点自己想要控制的曝光参数都控制的很好。

6月1号，国际儿童节。那天早上我跑完步，看到手机App记录的日期是六一，才知道那天是儿童节。
所以决定带着相机出去拍拍照片。
Nikon D800 with 70-200 F2.8G
Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm 0.95 Preview ( Test VS Leica 50mm Noctilux 0.95)
Camera: Sony A7
Lens: Zhongyi (Mitakon) 50mm 0.95 and Leica 50mm Noctilux 0.95.
There were some rumors going around before this lens publicly announced. When I heard about it, I knew this is going to be true, because Zhongyi (some people called Mitakon, but actually they named Zhongyi) has released a 35mm F0.95 for Fujifilm X Mount and Sony Next mount. But that crazy lens only for ASP-C sensors only.
After they have tell the public they are going to release this lens for full frame FE mount. I asked my friend in China ordered one, and also ordered an Sony A7 as well. This lens only avaliable for Sony FE mount (Full Frame E-mount), yes, I bought a Sony A7 just for this lens. I think this Zhongyi 50mm F0.95 lens might help the sales for Sony A7 series cameras a bit.
