[慢慢來．慵懶過．糊塗想．窮快活] - Webb Wei

候硐有個貓咪的天堂已經傳說多年，網路上散佈著許多貓迷們的好照片！
我在拜讀多位部落客的大作之後，終於也股起勇氣試著用黑白底片找出屬於自己味道的貓。
透過傳統相機觀景窗來拍貓，希望能拍到那種有個性、我行我素，而且自由自在感覺。
#1. 窗台上的沉思

Testing bring images from flickr with HTML code copied.
It has not been working no matter I copied and pasted the link, html, or BB codes directly from my flickr image for weeks. Yet it just worked today :-)
Here's one of my recent upload in three different sizes:
Medium size (332 x 500) - 1
Note: Only image without linking onto flickr
Medium size (425 x 640) - 2
 
Note: An image with link connecting onto the same one on flickr
Large size (680 x 1024) - 1
 
Note: An image with link connecting onto the same one on flickr
OK, maybe you knew this already, yet I would like to make this article as my 1st getting over. Now, I can only upload all my photos onto one single place and share them in my other site(s) when needed.
PS - It looked to me that IE got too smart to do this, I was doing this test in Google Chrome and got a success.
Yeee peeee!

嗯，這個不用多說了，看就知道誰最起勁兒
#1 - Doggy is convienced that he can fly for sure.
#2 - Mouse is on his way surfing.
#3 - Cat is doing Chinese Kong-Fu perfectly right!

今年少了「立春」這個節氣，二月天氣怪得緊 - 除了少晴多雨，還三不五時來個冷氣團。
能出門拍照的機會少了許多，就算出門，那光線似乎也差強人意 (至少對我這個新手而言如此…)
It has been raining days most the days in Feb. 2010, and sometimes bloody cold weather hitted the Island. Dam the light were poor when I was out with my cameras, bad luck, I was wondering. 
我一天沒聽到快門聲就全身不對勁，碰到這樣的天氣只好在家找解藥：近攝蛇腹。第一次用它還真累：對焦對到腰酸背痛 + 眼快脫窗。總算擠出一些勉強可看的照片，秀一下囉…
I must be hauted by something, and felt everything wrong if I didn't do the focusing and trigger the shutter of a camera. So I managed to cure myself with my new toy - The Bellows. The first run was a killing experience, however, it did come up something for share...

Note:
Actually, I do own more than one bellows for different mounts - Nikon, M42, and Exakta.
Same goes with extension tubes.
Macro bellows is easier than the tubes, personal experiences.

台北，從莫拉克、帕瑪兩個颱風之後，到現在不知道已經下了幾個禮拜的雨。人和相機也霉了好幾回！
看來，得找個不淋雨的地方，放慢快門、收收弱光下的光影組合，繼續再練基本功
盼不到陽光充足的日子，將就著拿夏未的影像來解解…

日子：2009 年 8 月底．某週六

Was an ordinary summer day, lazy cloud swiming in a breeze
(那天．雲淡風輕…)
cliff does a gaze into wild open, crossing a sea, a tide, and perhaps also in ruminating
(巨岩凝視今古．變遷年華逝水．千年沉思依舊)
Is wealth equal to $? for non-blivers take a detour, and climb you not.
(金錢萬能，卻不等於富有。不信者，就請繼續爬那要命的錢梯…)
since when, perhaps life's better at next stop?
(曾幾何時，人人都希望下一站會更好？)
what to do with the existings been built up for decades?
(帶不走的是先人們遺留的普世價值…)
Something deep down inside you might be dismissed piece by piece (it won't die out but fading away...)
(內心深處的回憶也將日漸糢糊，但不會永遠消散…．可能)
Time might take away what was belonging to you, same trick many many years before...
(猶記．田園將蕪葫而不歸．竟是前人也有的嘆息…)
getting tired of mind wandering, so just packing up, hit the future or home (again)...
(思緒走著也累了．不如決心出發 或 依舊歸去．再次…)
with all you could take, through this gate, get on the train you pick and just move on...
PS - No one will check your bag here, so make sure you bring what you really want already
(收拾行囊．穿過剪票口．不後悔地走自己的路…
 註：這裡，不會有人檢查您的行李；所以，請確定該帶的都帶了。)

當然，網路上有不少文章介紹過這部相機…
1. 德國的榮耀 極致經典Exakta Varex VX @ 486 的窩 (in Traditional Chinese)
2. Ihagee Kamerawerk Dresden, Germany (DDR) @ The Camera Site (in English)
3. Exakta CAMERAS 1933 - 1978, by Clement Aguila & Michel Rouah (Print, HOVE Collectors Books)
    PS - Said "The complete story of the pioneering SLR roll-film cameras and the world's first successful 35mm SLR.  Describes all models...."
這部相機操作起來蠻繁複的，除了快門有兩個設定環外，還必須自行手動測光 (沒有內建測光元件)…
如果要玩微距近攝，就必須加裝近攝接環或蛇腹，並上三角架提高解析度 (四、五十年前那來的防手震啊！)
分享一些用這部相機所拍出來的照片 (由於有以上各種牽託，客倌們將就著看看唄)：
#1. 一公分的小花．近攝 - 1 (Close shot, flora in 1 cm size - 1)
#2. 一公分的小花．近攝 - 2 (Close shot, flora in 1 cm size - 2)
#3. 颱風兩週後的蓮花 (Lotus shot, two weeks after typhoon)
#4. 汐止．大尖山．岩石青苔和陽光 (Rocks with moss in light)
#5. 汐止．大尖山．遠眺台北 101 (Looking down to Taipei 101 from Mt. Da-Jean.)
嗯，用起來挑戰性十足，比起操作 TLR 有過之而無不及！
簡單一句話：「這部相機僅適合很有耐心而且喜歡按步就班的人在寒冷的冬天裡使用！」

These actaully are images from my attempt trying to take shots of Solar eclipse dated 2009-07-22, which a failure after developing them... Let's say these were the leftover recycling from my failed attempt - since what was done is done, nothing to hide and we people can simply turn angle by looking at a brighter side...
#1 - The brightest spot in center (the one looks like moon) actually the sun
#2 - Clouds got irretated by light (in abstract saying)
#3 - You might take this as a image of inner space of human body... (Assuming that you saw this a lot in programs from Discovery Channel)
Dude, use your imagiantion as possible as you would like to, name these your own way, then a freeman (or a free woman)!?

Been thinking to do the nature shots morming or evening when light's singing right...
It took me four times rushing to the spot at sea shore of Keelung the most northen end of Taiwan, for the right scene.
(跑了四趟基隆外木山的濱海步道，才勉強等到了還不錯的晨光練晨拍…)
#1. 像是到了另一個世界? (in another world?)
#2 遠處那個應該是基隆嶼吧? (Keelung islet far in DoF?)
The lights changed her tone within just 50 minutes...
I think that I'll need to leave for the morning shots from home around 03:45 am next time.
(才不過 50 分鐘，色溫就從暖調轉為較明亮的冷調了…
我想下次必須要更早出門才對，清晨 03:45 出門的話還可以順路帶個美而美的早餐說。)
#3.  那天．06:26 am 時的藍天 (06:26 am when the blue sky in and the ships are line-up)
Other shots also in flickr...:-)
(有些照片也放到 Flickr 上囉，有空的話去看看… :-)

要不是電視台報導，還真容易錯過這家地道的北京回族小餅鋪。
 「清真．馬叔餅鋪」在中正紀念堂附近，店面只有五步寬。
在這個炎熱的夏天裡 (白天氣溫達攝氏 38 ~ 40 度)，
店裡的五個人加兩部烤箱可都沒停過，門口還不時排上個七、八個人…
門眉上的招牌菜單全是我的最愛…
尤其是那個桂花酸梅湯，道地的京味兒，又香又好喝！大汗淋漓的當下來上一杯，馬上就得救了！
(禮拜天中午，我可是那天最後一瓶桂花酸湯的買主咧…)
註：不愛酸梅湯的人，有另一種吃法 -「醬牛肉燒餅 + 榨菜肉絲湯」也是一絕!
(由於是熱湯，建議等太陽下山後，或等到秋、冬天才這麼搭著吃…)
吶，想吃的就自個兒按圖索驥去找唄…
下午四點之後才能到的話，明兒請早。
另：上圖中的小玻璃櫃裡，還有一些不一樣的驚喜… 記得也要試試。
