The sun is at the top right conner.

Remember shooting macro or close-up, you must be going into the details , in order to discover a subject to shoot.

Dinner Time!!


Dinner Time!!, originally uploaded by CharlieBrown8989.



Dinner Time!!

This goldfinch (about 3 inch long) that I snap just outside my bedroom.

My experience is that I cannot even touch the lense on the double planes glass of the window, they can hear the sound.

So, I have to be extra caution this round, I hand held it, & the lense is behind the 2 planes glass as well as the wire netting. Thus gives a very soft feeling. This is a in flight shot. Only one shot is taken before he/she land on the plant & have their dinner.

This is a great shot.

Enjoy.

Romantic Dusk @ AhBaZhou


Romantic Dusk @ AhBaZhou, originally uploaded by CharlieBrown8989.


Romantic Dusk @ AhBaZhou

This is the beautiful dusk @ AhBaZhou, the original home town of Panda.

The road condition is no good, very bumpy. I snaped this shot on the coach. The pollutants; dusts; Smog & mists & fogs make up this beautiful scene.

My Late Guru Zhu Ker Liang would never imaging his hide out become such polluted today. Otherwise he would have written on his predictions.

N.B.


I am in the most critical danger in this trip, as I am traveling with my daughter & not escorted by the officials. Taking picture like these are consider sensitives issues, it underline many ill practices between local & foreign officials & businessmen.

My daughter have experiences & witnessed many narrow escape that I have to deal with the lower form of human beings.

You see exporting of manufacturing activities, exported the manufactured waste & pollutants to China as well.

China main issue on Global Worming Plus the Green & Sustainability mainly due to:

1. Rapid industrialization of 2nd wave industries to fulfill the demand of the developed & developing nations needs.

2. Increase jobs to cut down the poverty level, after moving into Market Economy. Which they need electric power to power the economy & provide jobs. Which they relies lots on coal fire power. That is the main cause you see the pink layer in the air.

3. According to the research I read, each human being manufactured about 50 Cubic tons of carbon P.A. Then when you compute the total carbon manufactured by 1.5Billions populations. Then you see the actual figure that human produce carbon in the air.

4. Rapid industrialization cut down lots of trees in China & also the Businessmen cut more trees to bring in to China to produce the goods & build factories or building materials etc...

So, as you read all my comments, China polluted the whole world is not because of China do it by itself, it is a highly connected world economy that make these pollutions in a circle & they are all involved.

Therefore, it is not right & no Point to just pointing to China.

The most important is how the Power & Political elites on this world to work together to act together to resolve these critical issues now before it is too late.

Beside China, India ( With 1Billions population & Coal fire power for the heavy industries) is another country that facing the same!!

I hope everyone can see these more clearly now.


Anyway, this is a great treasure shot.

It is like a Chinese reality painting.

Garden Fresh

This tomato is suspended on the plant .

With the back lited sun light.

I placed a food tray below the fruit to reflect more light on it, thus you see the gradients of lights.

A white paper tower is held by the left hand as the reflector for the middle part of the fruit.

This is a great shot.

Basic of The Color - CGBY

The 2 basic key to the success of imaging art are the skill & knowledge of seeing & capturing:

1. Lights

2. Color

Can you see how I use a simple color cups to create a solid 3D object to compose this image??

What else you can see & imaging out of this post??

Enter The Dragon Dam

This is the night & Lights scene I took while the cruise ship is waiting to enter the Da Ba, the greatest Water Dam on earth.

The lights you are seeing are the reflection & lights on another cruise ship who are waiting at the other shore.

It seem that the other cruise is vibrating & moving, thus given the lights in the continuous form.

This image is taken without tripot.

The humidity is very high, temperature is 90degree F.

This is a great shot.

Have a great weekend!!

Hot 2 To The Sky - 朝天椒


Hot 2 To The Sky - 朝天椒

In mandarin , this is call the Pointing To The Sky Chili.

From my experience, all Chili fruits that which are pointing to the sky on the plant itself are very hot & spicy.

Especially the small one, typically the diameter would not over 5mm.

Chili is used as a n agent to get ridge of the dampness Chi in the body according to the Chinese Herbs Sutra.

Most of the Asian people love to eat chili, especially those in Sichuan, QweeZhou; Indo China; South East Asia & India; Sri Langka; etc...

However, too much chili is no good for one health too. In particular the lung; skin.

flickers Love 2 flickr @ Near Mid-Night


flickers Love 2 flickr @ Near Mid-Night

I believes my guru Kong Ming never visualized this scene in Chengdu some 2,XXX years ago.

1. There are so many Buildings & Cars; bridges; flyover..etc.

2. There are so many people people today!!

3. There are so many flickers love to flickr their Camera, even in the near mid-night hours like these shown.

I am very much surprise & impress that so many people busy doing whatever they love to do, courting love ones; shooting night scene on the bridge, cars & transport are still very congested at the mid-night hours.

It is even more surprise for me to found about 4 flickr members asking me to gives some free advise on shoot or flickering on night imaging!!

I am very very impress!! I am sure you do feel like me.

I took this without tripod, the weather is hot 89 degree & humidity is 95%.


Have a great weekend.

Thanks for your visit, comments & fave.

flickers Love Roses

This rose is from my backyard.

It used to be in white color, but not just happen to have the spots of pink. more specially the flickr pink!!

This is special tribute to all flickers who are fan's friend's & visitors.

My Tribute to all for appreciating my works of Macro art.

N.B.

There is a yellow rose behind this rose, with the sunlight back lit made the image more stand-out.

As it is the sunset light, I use the food tray for reflecting light @ the front, it seem that there is a layer of mist to add to the softness.

It is from my research that flickers love Rose, catchy color & flicker Love To Be Love.

This is a great shot .

Enjoy!!
