19/05/2018 – Blossoms I – 拾花集 · 一

淅淅沥沥的雨扑向地中海气候的阿德莱德,再也回不到一月份那样热的躲在树荫里都大汗淋淋的温度——现在躲在屋里都要发抖。树叶都被雨水和冷空气激得变黄飘落,才意识到连花都赏不到了,不如写个拾花集吧。

Raindrops wet the entire Adelaide, the atmosphere cannot be as heat as summer, where you remain steaming under the shadow —— it’s now you remain shaking under roof. Yellow leaves escape from mother trees, driven by the rain and the blow, not to tell the blossoms. Collect those petals here in the reminder.


Prunus persica

冬末阴云不忍散去

Cloud remains

新萌绿草也要争鲜

Grass grows

你一来

As soon as you come

粉红如斯

Blush on the face

映透了光影

Brightest view

目不睹别景

Eyes focus

初到阿德,冬将入春,初误以为是樱,被人指点方知是桃,糗的不行。

Just arrive Adelaide, the end of winter. I thought it was cherry blossom which was wrong. So embarrassed when I was told the correct answer.


蓝花楹

Jacaranda

蓝天给紫花做背景好像会不搭?

Would it be inconsistent there are purple flowers under the sapphire sky?

不会!

Definitely not

因为有太阳在啊!

Flaming sun’s there

红蓝沁紫。

Purple is given birth from red and blue

在阿德莱德的第一个夏天,没回家。

The first summer in Adelaide, far from home.


Pyrus

枝撑如伞,

Branched as gorgeous canopy

亭亭而立。

Bloomed into utter beauty

粉黛如伊,

White and clean

冰清玉洁。

Pure as ice and jade

刚度过最难熬的一个学期,春天来,花开了。

Just went through the toughest semester, spring and flowers came to life


紫罗兰

Matthiola incana

气息自鼻子摄入

Scent with nose

花瓣以指尖抚过

Percept on fingers

素颜凭眼眸瞥见

Glimpse in eyes

都是甜的

All luscious

许久之后再插花,一眼在店中看中它。

Keep flowers in the bedroom again after long, the decision was made as soon as saw it in the flower shop


向日葵

Helianthus annuus

光自何处

Where the light

我至何处

Where the sight

自含苞到盛放,很久没仔细观察花开的样子了。

So nice to watch the flowering.

Journal – 16/08/2015 – Star Tracks, Copyright Logo, Pics Standard – 星轨, 版权标志, 图片标准

(English version follows Chinese Part)

近几日所在的城市天气比较晴,夜晚在市区也能看到不少星星,就勾起了以前拍星轨的愿望。恰巧手头又有能够全手动设定的相机以及定时拍摄必备的快门线。另外,画廊还缺个图片用的版权标志,需要一幅深底色的照片配合测试。星轨照片挺合适,说干就干。

使用佳能G15卡片机的M档,设定快门为1秒,光圈f2.8,感光度ISO80(佳能G15在长曝光设定下只能使用ISO80,不能使用高感),使用快门线每20秒拍一张,总共拍了59张。然后使用<Startrails>软件合成为星轨照片,最后使用Lightroom微调色彩等参数。得到效果不错的试验品。(成品图片戳这查看

最后也决定了版权标志的设计,比较简单,就是C标+LOGO+网址,文字字体是TechnicLite,样式如图:

另外,也确定了画廊图片的基本尺寸标准。尺寸为1200*800像素(3:2的边幅现在比较主流),文件不大于300k。这样既能保证画质,又能节省站点空间。


 

The sky was really clear last night because of heavy rain yesterday. Stars were visible to the naked eyes. An idea of star tracks photography occur to me. (I had thought of it for long.)

Luckily, I’ve got a Canon G15 camera with M(anual) model and a timer remote controller(electronic cable shutter). Those two are necessary for time-lapse photography. After all, I need a pic in dark background for testing copyright logo.

By the M model, shutter was set in 1 sec, aperture was f/2.8, sensitivity was ISO 80 (Canon G15 can not set high ISO by the low speed shutter). 59 pics was shot in every 20 sec. The program ‘Startrails’ was used to process pics in one photo which is ‘star tracks’. After PS with color and brightness, I’ve got a nice one. (Click For Photo)

The copyright logo design was also decided (As Fig.1). A simple combination of C(opyright) symble, site logo and site address. Font style is TechnicLite.

By the way, upload photos would be under the standard for balance between quality and storage space saving. Margins will be 1200pix * 800pix (3*2 is popular style). Each files should be limited under 300kb.
