(... or Pappardella # 1, depending on your point of view) Sometimes it happens that friends / We ask me advice on which machine to buy to approach photography. One good way would be to buy a camera. You do not have at all costs, sacrificing the pig with all of your savings, including those of confirmation and first communion-market hesitate different price ... Also, do not forget dell' usato, che è una cosa buona e giusta. Ed ora, se io spendo più soldi per la macchina, farò foto più belle? Ni. Io parto dal presupposto che quello che conta maggiormente siano le IDEE. Per cui, non spendiamo patrimoni per comprare l' ultimissima Canon o l' ultimissima Nikon uscite sul mercato pensando automaticamente di fare foto più belle. Impararate la tecnica, tutto quello che c' è da imparare, poi quando c' è da scattare DIMENTICATEVELA, non perdetevi in tecnicismi, in discorsi lunghissimi se sia meglio Nikon o Canon e sopratutto non entrate a far parte di guerriglie del tipo "a morte i nikonisti, viva i canonisti". La fotografia (fortunatamente) non è nulla di tutto questo.
When you purchase your first SLR (or, if you insist you shall have also developed a compact) a recommendation is to work entirely in manual mode. This is because you have to decide what to photograph, but above all as a photographer. That is crucial: if in fact worked autoamatica mode the camera will decide for you therefore you will never learn. Today with digital costs virtually nothing to do experiments. Let us remember that the photo may actually see very far depending on how I decide to photograph, as I use open or closed apertures, long or short exposure times, etc. etc. What look is not necessarily what we see, feel, and hear. The vision camera is made of fragments of time and space and captured at the same time deformed, crushed, raped by 'objective. why that picture is not necessarily what we see. With photography I can change the perception of reality, I can mold it to shape my inner feeling. How? initiated by 'this objective is unknown, soon on these screens.
Today is a beautiful day, so I decide to take the Star Ferry to Hong Kong island to go to the peninsula, so you can photograph the coast from the hinterland of Hong Kong.
I make a overview of the port. She did not come this time very well (you can see any particular connection) but without a tripod you could not ask for more. To see the photo in high resolution, press down on it and then choose the button "Download".
course I immediately tried to take an overview. Also, thanks to Hugin for Linux, the effect was quite satisfactory, although having a little 'more time I would definitely have done better. Of course to see the photos in high resolution just click on it and then press "Download".
Just behind me, there is the tower, some very funny and very fitting for the exhibition of Chinese video games to be held in November, and the stairway to a raised part the port, where you can photograph the bay in all its splendor (to the delight of all the photographers in the world who spent several days in search of the perfect shot).
Anch'io mi metto a fare un po' di foto, sperimentando le impostazioni della mia piccola fotocamera Canon. Per quanto fotocamere più professionali possano catturare foto migliori, la bellezza del soggetto è talmente devastante che anche con macchinette da pochi soldi l'effetto è sempre strabiliante. Ogni anno si vota, nei siti di viaggi e di foto, per lo skyline più bello , e quello di Hong Kong vince sempre . Supera di gran lunga i voti di posti come New York. Forse per il mix tra porto sud asiatico antico e mirabolante modernità , o forse per l'oggettiva peculiarità di ogni grattacielo di Hong Kong ( non ce n'è uno regolare , a parallelepipedo: sono tutti esperimenti architettonici ).
I also did a little video. finally, please note the skyscraper that changes color ...
It's my birthday and to celebrate we decided to commute for several premises. Let's start going up in Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel and going in the attic (complete with parking garages), in which there is a room called "The Kitchen" from which there is amazing view on Hong Kong. The Negroni bear me is not bad.
C'è poi una traversa di Temple Street che è tutta per maghi, fattucchiere e indovini. Noto con piacere che ben pochi pagano per ascoltare le idiozie dei vari lettori di mano, di fondi di caffè, di tarocchi, di I-Ching e via dicendo. Noto anche che sono tutti raggruppati nella stessa strada e che i prezzi sono molto bassi. Messi tutti insieme sono decisamente meno di quelli che ammorbano le città occidentali, in fin dei conti.
Una peculiarità divertentissima del mercato notturno sono le bancarelle adibite al sesso . Tra una bancarella e l'altra infatti ci sono punti in cui si vendono vibratori , uova cinesi, bambole gonfiabili e ogni tipo di giocattolo erotico a prezzi decisamente bassi.
find the same restaurant that was sublime in a Hot Pot. Now we decide to give us a jump. You see, in addition to the usual meat striata, as well as some sensational rolls but also unfamiliar things to us (but I assure you: if you exceed the delicious taboo) as dried fish skin and intestines of beef :
The rule is the same also in our country: if the room full of people, it is probably very good. So we decide to get into a place that only sells desserts East., Noting that there is usually lined up outside the oriental sweets not fully meet the tastes of Westerners as it does with the rest of the food, probably because these parts sugar and chocolate are only two species, like many others, none of which va particolarmente ghiotto. Quindi entro piuttosto diffidente ma all'assaggio del dolce al mango , palline di amido di riso , mousse di ananas e crema di latte mi devo ricredere: è il paradiso dei sensi.
Ormai è night and I am informed that we only got appetizers, so far. Upset that I'm already full, I do dare, gulp a bit 'green tea (excellent as hydraulic fluid if you are weighed down) and I head to Central, Soho, where we enter a restaurant almost fusion, in the sense that you do dishes from around the world without particular funds. It has no precise connotation, you can eat from sushi to tacos, from kebabs to lasagne. Everything is excellent, including the aforementioned lasagna ... I take this opportunity to change at least the T-shirt: keep more than three hours outdoors, even if now it is October in Hong Kong for a Westerner means totally soaked clothes. I recommend everyone to always carry a change. There are bathrooms beautifully clean and free where you want, especially in large shopping malls of big skyscrapers, including a plan to another.
not over: we're going to find our beloved knowledge, Sueiee, I had the pleasure of hosting last year during a brief stay in Italy. Now she works in a massage as a receptionist. He decides to give me a birthday gift and try to give me a massage as he seen it done by her colleagues in recent months. I must say, it is bravissima e mi rilassa alla grande. Non solo: alla fine chiama la sua collega professionista, thailandese, che mi rivolta come un calzino e mi fa schioccare tutte le ossa, fornendomi la prova dell'esistenza di alcuni muscoli che non sapevo di avere . Alla fine mi sento come un mollusco . Sensazione paradisiaca: decido di prendere appuntamento per mercoledì prossimo, per un massaggio stavolta con il dovuto prezzo (che comunque è bassissimo rispetto all'Italia, meno di 15€ per più di un'ora, nonostante siamo in centro).
But the city has never asleep. Indeed, it is one o'clock at night and begin to truly live, thanks to the climate becomes less unbearably muggy. So we decide to end the evening in a pub in the Middle East, also in Soho. It's called "Sahara" and there is a water pipe here more correctly called "shisha .
We welcome everyone, but while we pass the point where the taxi, we come across a little place on the road which of noodles with pork rinds which is the end of the world. At this point, I drank so much that I do not notice most of the shameless quantity of food that I have accumulated during the night, and the heavenly smell of capon broth accept willingly and I gorge on this latest home-made goodness.
Incredibly, the day after I wake up fine, calm and relaxed, without a hangover alcohol and too much food. This clearly shows that quando la vita è sana e il cibo è genuino e di altissima qualità, anche un corpo trentasettenne e sedentario come il mio non ha alcun problema di salute. Il pranzo, però, lo salto...
